chatgpt-deep-research
DEPRECATED - Use gpt-researcher skill instead. This browser automation approach has been replaced with the local GPT-Researcher framework using OpenAI o1.
Best use case
chatgpt-deep-research is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
DEPRECATED - Use gpt-researcher skill instead. This browser automation approach has been replaced with the local GPT-Researcher framework using OpenAI o1.
Teams using chatgpt-deep-research should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.

# ChatGPT Deep Research - DEPRECATED **Status:** This skill is deprecated and no longer maintained. **Replacement:** Use the `gpt-researcher` skill instead. ## Why Deprecated? Browser automation for ChatGPT Deep Research had several limitations: - **Fragile:** UI changes break automation - **Requires browser:** Chrome with remote debugging - **Requires subscription:** ChatGPT Plus/Team ($200/mo) - **Limited control:** Can't choose model or parameters - **High maintenance:** Selectors need constant updates ## Migration to GPT-Researcher The `gpt-researcher` skill provides all the same capabilities with better reliability: ### Old Way (Deprecated Browser Automation) ```bash # Complex browser automation with Chrome DevTools # Requires ChatGPT Plus subscription # 5-10 minutes per research # Fragile UI automation ``` ### New Way (GPT-Researcher with OpenAI GPT-5.2) ```bash cd /Users/valorengels/src/research/podcast/tools python gpt_researcher_run.py --file prompt.txt --output results.md ``` **Benefits:** - ✅ No browser required - ✅ Uses OpenAI GPT-5.2 (latest flagship model, 2025) - ✅ Pay-per-use ($0.27-2 per search) - ✅ 100+ sources analyzed - ✅ Fully scriptable and reproducible - ✅ Works in any environment - ✅ Knowledge cutoff: August 2025 (most current) ## See Also - **gpt-researcher skill:** `.claude/skills/gpt-researcher/SKILL.md` - **Script location:** `podcast/tools/gpt_researcher_run.py` ## Historical Reference This skill previously automated ChatGPT Deep Research via Chrome DevTools browser automation. It has been superseded by the local GPT-Researcher framework which provides better reliability, control, and cost-effectiveness.
