Cassidy's Deep Research tool enables Assistants to conduct comprehensive, multi-step research by continuously searching the internet and your Knowledge Base until they find the precise information you need. Unlike standard web searches that return basic results, Deep Research performs in-depth analysis, follows leads, and aggregates findings to deliver thorough, well-sourced answers.

  1. Start a Chat with an Assistant: Begin by opening a Chat. You can start a new Chat or continue an existing conversation.

  2. Access the Tools menu: In the Chat interface, locate and click the "Tools" button to view available tool options.

  3. Enable Deep Research: Toggle the "Deep Research" option to "on" to activate this advanced research capability for your current conversation.

  4. Ask your research question: Type your research question or topic. Be specific about what you want to learn, such as "Research the latest trends in AI automation for small businesses" or "Find comprehensive information about sustainable packaging solutions in the food industry."

  5. Provide clarifying details: The Assistant may ask follow-up questions to better understand your research needs, such as:

    • What specific aspects are most important?

    • What timeframe should the research cover?

    • Are there particular sources or perspectives you want included?

    • What format would you prefer for the results?

  6. Review comprehensive results: Deep Research will continuously read, search for, and analyze information until it delivers thorough findings. Results include:

    • Detailed analysis

    • Step-by-step breakdown of how information was gathered

    • Cited sources for verification

    • Customizable output format that fits your workflow needs

Deep Research automatically scans public online sources and databases, saving you hours of manual research while ensuring you get accurate, up-to-date information with proper source attribution. The process can take between 500-1300 credits, depending on the depth and breadth of the research required.

By using Deep Research, you can transform time-consuming research tasks into efficient, automated processes that deliver professional-grade insights tailored to your specific needs.
