Product film / 01:19 / Published 2026-02-10
Updates to deep research in ChatGPT
A focused research workflow: request, source controls, plan, follow-up, report, citations, export. Most of the film is restrained UI framing, with only two short text resets.

Useful to borrow
Show inputs and constraints before the result. Zoom or crop toward the current control, then return to the full report. Include the export or handoff state.
Do not infer
Do not copy tiny text at whole-window scale. The app's easing and the film's camera moves are different systems and have not been equated here.
