Gartner® report: Innovation Insight for Deep Research Tools

We have entered a new era of AI, where the next generation of tools goes beyond simple search. While preliminary AI tools are built to find and analyze data, a new category is emerging: deep research tools that can synthesize knowledge at a speed far beyond human capability.
