You've learned the essentials of how AI works. Now let's explore powerful research tools that go far beyond simple chatting.

Most modern AI tools have a feature that's normally called "deep research" or "deep think" that can spend many minutes autonomously investigating complex topics, searching hundreds of sources, and creating detailed reports.

Have you tried one for sales prospecting yet?

Unlike regular AI chat, deep research tools work like tireless sales research assistants. They search multiple websites, cross-check company information, and synthesize findings into comprehensive prospect profiles.

While ChatGPT gives quick answers, when you enable Deep Research it can spend 5-30 minutes thoroughly investigating a potential client or market opportunity.

Would you trade speed for depth when researching high-value prospects?

Here's how they work: You ask a complex question, the AI creates a research plan, then autonomously searches the web, analyzes findings, and compiles everything into a cited report.

For example, enable Deep Research and ask "What challenges is TechCorp facing that our solution could address?" and get a detailed analysis with sources.
