I tried it recently. I asked for videochat services like the one I use (WB) with 2 specific features that the most commonly used services don't have. It asked some clarifying questions and seemed to understand the mission, then went off for 10 minutes after which it returned 5 results in a table.
The first result was WB, which I gave to it as the first example and am already using. Results 2 and 3 were the mainstream services which it helpfully marked in the table as not having the features I need. Result 4 looked promising but was discontinued 3 years ago. Result 5 was an actual option which I'm trying out (but may not work for other reasons).
So, 1/5 usable results. That was mildly helpful I guess, but it appeared a lot more helpful on the surface than it was. And I don't seem to have the ability to say "nice try but dig deeper".
- simonw 2y agoThat sounds like a Deep Research query, was that with OpenAI or Gemini?
- saulpw 2y agoThis was OpenAI.
- Gracana 2y agoYou can tell it to try again. It took me a couple rounds with the tool before I noticed that your conversation after the initial research isn't limited to just chatting: if you select the "deep research" button on your message, it will run the search process in its response.
