How to Connect GitHub Repos to Deep Research in ChatGPT

Earlier this year, OpenAI announced an AI agent specifically for research purposes known as ChatGPT Deep Research. ChatGPT Deep research has the agentic capabilities that allow it to conduct multi-step research on the internet for complex tasks. Soon after ChatGPT launched this AI research agent, many major AI chatbots followed suit, like Perplexity Deep Research, Gemini Deep Research, and many new AI agents aimed specifically at deep research were seen. It is safe to say that deep research has been a success.

Now, ChatGPT has gone up and beyond; users can now connect GitHub repos to deep research in ChatGPT. Users can ask a question, and the deep research agent will read and search the repo's source code and PRs, returning a detailed report with citations. This has been done before, hence making it a major upgrade in the deep research technology. In this article, we'll show you how to connect GitHub repos to deep research in ChatGPT.

How to connect GitHub repos to deep research in ChatGPT:

Step 1: Visit ChatGPT wesbsite or app.

• Enter your deep research prompt in the chat box.

• Click the deep research button and enter.

Step 2: Next, users need to choose the GitHub repo relevant to the question and enter it, allowing ChatGPT to conduct correct research on the topic.

Step 3: Based on the provided GitHub repo, ChatGPT will conduct and perform deep multi-step research and provide you with a detailed report with citations.

Conclusion:

This new capability of ChatGPT to connect with GitHub repos to conduct deep, multi-step agentic research could be a game-changer. Users can simply ask a question, and the deep research agent will read and search the GitHub repo's source code and PRs, returning a detailed report with citations. This feature is currently available in beta to ChatGPT Plus, Pro, and Team users and is gradually rolling out to all Plus and Pro users.
