Microsoft recently announced on its official website that the public preview of Deep Research is now available in Azure AI Foundry. This new product is an intelligent agent that supports APIs and SDKs, similar to OpenAI's advanced agents, and is designed to improve the efficiency of research and analysis.

Deep Research can break down complex tasks into manageable steps like a human analyst, and perform multi-round information search and verification globally, thereby automating research tasks and ultimately generating transparent and auditable research reports.

Traditional research often requires a significant amount of time and manpower. Researchers need to gradually clarify the core issues of their research topics, break them down into multiple sub-directions, and manually retrieve relevant information across different databases and platforms. This process is cumbersome and often limited by the timeliness and accuracy of information, leading to low research efficiency.

The emergence of Deep Research has changed this situation. This intelligent agent is closely integrated with Bing Search and OpenAI's GPT series models, and can automatically complete information collection and analysis. Users only need to submit their research requirements, and Deep Research will be able to intelligently break down the problem, define the research scope, and accurately obtain the latest and authoritative information, reducing the need for manual intervention.

Deep Research is not limited to academic research; it is also applicable to the generation of complex reports in fields such as finance and healthcare. It uses OpenAI's o3 model, and after receiving a query, it will call multiple models to clarify the question and ensure that the output results are relevant and actionable. Throughout the research process, Deep Research can track and record the reasoning process of the model, making each answer auditable, especially suitable for industries that require compliance reviews.

In addition, Microsoft provides other powerful features for Deep Research, including automated large-scale network research, the ability to build intelligent agents through programming, and coordination of complex workflows. This allows enterprises to automatically obtain the latest industry updates or regularly generate market analysis reports according to their needs.

The API for Deep Research is now open, allowing developers to integrate its automation capabilities into their own applications. This provides professionals in different fields with more efficient tools to accelerate research and business decision-making.
