Implications

Platform thread. A dedicated “Research with ChatGPT” Academy module signals that Deep Research has matured from a power-user feature to a teachable capability for general knowledge workers. The search + synthesis workflow is directly competitive with traditional research workflows (Google + manual reading + synthesis), and with Perplexity’s core product. Framing it as a learnable skill, rather than just a feature, is key to enterprise adoption in research-intensive organizations.
