Web search
Use web search for focused questions that need current sources. Good examples:- “Search the web for the latest pricing changes from this vendor.”
- “Find recent articles about this market and summarize the pattern.”
- “Compare these two tools using current public information.”
Visual replies in chat
Search and research replies may include citations, source previews, charts, or other visual formats when they help.
Deep research
Use deep research when you need more than a quick lookup. Deep research is better for broad, multi-source questions where you want a synthesized report. Good examples:- “Research the competitive landscape for AI meeting assistants.”
- “Build a sourced brief on recent changes in enterprise AI procurement.”
- “Find the strongest arguments for and against this product direction.”
