Deep Research Just Saved Me 100+ Hours—Now I Get the Hype!

For months, I didn’t get why everyone was obsessed with OpenAI’s Deep Research.

Then I actually used it. Now I’m blown away.

Here’s how it saved me hours of work and made my research 10x better.

🧵👇

1. Investor Deck—100+ Hours of Research Done in Minutes

I’m working on the biggest project of my life.

To make it happen? I need to raise money. And that means building a high-impact investor deck.

Normally, that means days of research:

- Market data
- TAM (Total Addressable Market)
- Industry trends
- Competitor insights
- Growth projections

Instead, I ran a 5-minute Deep Research query.

The result? A fully researched, investor-ready report—faster than I could even type out a Google search.

This deck is coming together way faster than expected, and the data is so good it even got me more excited.

2. Franchise Business Research—Days of Work Done Instantly

Whenever I research new business opportunities, it takes forever.

Google. Read. Forums. Ask people. Hire a consultant.

This time? I typed in my request—1 minute.
Waited 5 minutes.

What came back? A full breakdown:

- Profit margins
- Expected revenue
- Market trends
- Risks
- Existing franchises in my area

This didn’t save me hours—it saved me days.

Consultants? You’re fired, lol

The Bottom Line

I was late to Deep Research. Now? I get the hype.

It’s already paid for itself in just a few days.

If you’re still wasting time on manual research, you’re doing it wrong.

AI isn’t just speeding up work—it’s eliminating it.
