What changed
OpenAI made Deep Research available inside ChatGPT Work and Codex across the web, files and supported connected apps. Runs can be steered and turned into cited documents, presentations, spreadsheets or Sites using the user's existing Work or Codex allowance.
Why it matters
Research and artifact production now share one agent workflow, reducing handoffs but increasing the importance of source scope, connector permissions, citation fidelity and allowance accounting.
What to do
Start with a bounded question and an approved source set, inspect every consequential citation, compare the artifact with a manual baseline, and record connector access, credits and edits before operational use.
Caveat
Access requires Work and an eligible paid or organizational plan. Connected-app coverage, artifact tools and limits vary, while citations and generated files still require human verification.
