OpenAI’s Deep Research Agent Is Coming for White-Collar Work
The research-focused agent shows how a new generation of more capable AI models could automate some office tasks.
It takes a query, such as “Write me a report on the Massachusetts health insurance industry,” or “Tell me about WIRED’s coverage of the Department of Government Efficiency,” and then comes up with a plan, searching for relevant websites, combing through their content, and deciding what links to click and what information deserves further investigation. The prospect of selling tools that can automate large amounts of highly skilled office work perhaps explains why OpenAI is considering offering advanced agents at a steep premium. The company has told investors that agents capable of doing “PhD-level work” could eventually cost $20,000 per month, according to a recent report from The Information, although details of such a plan remain unclear.
