When should I use it?

Use GL Open DeepResearch when you need in-depth, multi-source answers to a question, not a single quick fact or a chat reply.

Good use cases

• Research and synthesis — “What are the main arguments for and against X?” or “Summarize recent developments in Y.”

• Comparison and evaluation — “Compare options A, B, and C for Z.”

• Exploration with sources — “What do recent reports say about topic T?” when you want citations or references.

• Structured reports — When you need a coherent report (sections, evidence) rather than a one-line answer.

Questions that are a poor fit

• Simple facts — “What is the capital of France?” — use a search or chat API instead.

• Real-time or live data — “What is the stock price right now?” — research is based on search/retrieval, not live feeds.

• Highly subjective or opinion-only — “What’s the best movie?” — the service is built for evidence-based synthesis.

• Very narrow, single-source questions — Where a single lookup is enough, deep research may be unnecessary.

Choosing the right profile (e.g. quick vs deep) also matters: use quick profiles for faster, lighter answers and deep profiles when you need more thorough research.
