ChatGPT Deep Research - DEPRECATED

Status: This skill is deprecated and no longer maintained.

Replacement: Use the gpt-researcher skill instead.

Why Deprecated?

Browser automation for ChatGPT Deep Research had several limitations:

  • Fragile: UI changes break automation
  • Requires browser: Chrome with remote debugging
  • Requires subscription: ChatGPT Plus/Team ($200/mo)
  • Limited control: Can't choose model or parameters
  • High maintenance: Selectors need constant updates

Migration to GPT-Researcher

The gpt-researcher skill provides all the same capabilities with better reliability:

Old Way (Deprecated Browser Automation)

# Complex browser automation with Chrome DevTools
# Requires ChatGPT Plus subscription
# 5-10 minutes per research
# Fragile UI automation

New Way (GPT-Researcher with OpenAI GPT-5.2)

cd /Users/valorengels/src/research/podcast/tools
python gpt_researcher_run.py --file prompt.txt --output results.md

Benefits:

  • ✅ No browser required
  • ✅ Uses OpenAI GPT-5.2 (latest flagship model, 2025)
  • ✅ Pay-per-use ($0.27-2 per search)
  • ✅ 100+ sources analyzed
  • ✅ Fully scriptable and reproducible
  • ✅ Works in any environment
  • ✅ Knowledge cutoff: August 2025 (most current)

Historical Reference

This skill previously automated ChatGPT Deep Research via Chrome DevTools browser automation. It has been superseded by the local GPT-Researcher framework which provides better reliability, control, and cost-effectiveness.
