o3 is the research assistant I wanted
Deep Research (three separate products! from Perplexity, OpenAI, and Gemini) is usually more than I want. Instead I want something that stops when it has the answer. Here's a great example about predicting the next pope. It searched the web to find out what prediction markets said, aggregated and normalized the data, and gave me a chart of probabilities. Then it made a second chart introducing me to each candidate.
