Use Cases
Research Quality
Deep Research is Athena’s advanced research capability that conducts in-depth investigations across multiple sources using sophisticated AI models. Unlike simple search or browsing, Deep Research autonomously plans research sub-questions, searches across configured sources, synthesizes findings, and produces structured, citation-rich reports.Deep Research leverages OpenAI’s specialized research models (o3-deep-research and o4-mini-deep-research) to perform comprehensive analysis that would typically require hours of manual research. The system automatically formulates research strategies, gathers information from multiple sources, cross-references findings, and presents results in a coherent, well-documented format.Key Features
Multi-Source Research
Deep Research searches across multiple sources simultaneously, including web content, internal documents, emails, meetings, SharePoint files, and more. This comprehensive approach ensures you gather information from all relevant sources rather than limiting research to a single domain.Autonomous Research Planning
The AI autonomously breaks down complex research questions into sub-questions, determines optimal search strategies, and adapts its approach based on findings. This intelligent planning ensures thorough coverage of research topics without requiring manual guidance.Citation-Rich Reports
All findings include citations to source materials, enabling you to verify information and explore sources in depth. Citations link directly to source documents, web pages, emails, or meeting transcripts for easy reference.Configurable Summary Levels
Choose between automatic and detailed summary levels based on your needs. Automatic mode provides balanced summaries suitable for most use cases, while detailed mode produces comprehensive reports with extensive analysis.Model Selection
Select between o3-deep-research for higher quality, more thorough analysis or o4-mini-deep-research for faster results. Choose the model that best balances your needs for depth and speed.Transparent Research Process
Track research progress as Deep Research works, seeing which sources are being searched, what sub-questions are being investigated, and how findings are being synthesized. This transparency helps you understand the research methodology and trust the results.
