# What is Deep Research

Deep Research is built for anything that needs real digging, not just a quick answer. Ask about a market, a company, a competitor, a technology, a person, or a comparison between two things, and Computer researches it properly. It searches across multiple angles, reads through the strongest sources, finds relevant images, and puts it all together into one report with clear sections, inline citations, and a full source list at the end.

You can choose how deep the research goes. Standard gives you a balanced report with good source coverage in a reasonable time. Depth goes further, pulling in more sources for a more thorough analysis. Ultra Depth is the most exhaustive option, aiming for maximum source coverage when you need the most complete picture possible.

Every report comes with a preview you can read right away, plus a download button for a properly formatted Word document, complete with a title, headings, a table of contents, images, and sources.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.imagine.art/imagine-computer/ai-tools/deep-reseach/what-is-deep-research.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
