Igor Pagani demos ChatGPT o3's new research feature, which builds detailed profiles on people by searching Instagram, LinkedIn, X, and other sources from a single prompt. The tool caught a typo in his own name and compiled findings into a concise report.
Okay, the new thing that OpenAI just released is unbelievable. With a simple sentence, you can create a research report on any person. Here's how it works. Do intensive research on Igor Pagani and give me a massive report on everything you find. And what happens here is just so different from anything we've seen, except maybe Deep Research. It goes ahead, it starts thinking, it starts making a plan. Then it uses the web search tool to pull up multiple sites. It pulled up my Instagram, LinkedIn, my X, it found a company website, the company LinkedIn. Then it goes out and figures out that, hey, I even made a typo, writing my own name, embarrassing. And it proceeds to think about this, pull up more links, and it just finds like a dozen different LinkedIn posts and other websites, including some of my university, etc. And it comes up with something that Deep Research would always refuse, a profile on me, with all the details. And it's quite comprehensive, while not being overwhelming, which sometimes is the case with Deep Research. This is something that hasn't been possible before, and that's why many people refer to this as the biggest release since ChatGPT itself.
