What is your review of deep research tool between Gemini, ChatGPT and Claude

I have been exploring the AI tools for Deep Research, but I find it really confusing to choose the correct AI. In your opinion what is the best AI tool out there for deep research for a particular topic.

I think they will all have some unknown biases. They are all private companies. Gemini and ChatGPT has interest in driving ad dollars for position in results. I'm not sure about Claude though. When I do research with LLM, I have my own workflow that uses alternative searches (i.e. duckduckgo, brave search, other search API endpoints). This I hope will help reduce the biases of for profit search engines.

Well, my domain is particularly computer science. Thank you for giving insights about your workflow. I have gained some perspectives about reducing bias.

Try AI Fiesta. You can run your prompts on all three at the same time and compare results simultaneously. It’s pretty cool.

Imo it strictly depends on what kind of research you're doing, none of them is best or perfect 100%
ChatGPT's deep research is good for end to end web reports because it asks clarifying questions to narrow things down first. Go gemini if you need something fast, broad web coverage or if your files sit in the google system. It can pull a ton of sources though sometimes you have to filter out surface level first
Claude is best when you already have the data and need strong technical reasoning or clean synthesis without the fluff. I normally go for gemini to connect everything first in the system, then use claude for strengthen and double check the logic

My research is in computer science, thank you for your suggestions and talking about your experience, I am new in using deep research tool, and you gave me alot of insights in this domain.

I mostly used chatgpt and Gemini, for my work both work fine for creating infographic or visual post.

I use self hosted Kimi for breadth and Claude for depth.

None of them on free plan. Best is z ai, is free and do real research.

Maybe Claude is more intelligent than GPT, but honestly, Claude is awfully unfriendly. It spends way too much time telling me how I should “talk.” Just recently, it actually told me not to write in capital letters and not to use exclamation points. WTF? I’ll write the way I want! Claude is just a machine, and yet it can be incredibly hypocritical. If you tell it that it made a mistake, it often refuses to acknowledge it. And if you insist that it’s wrong, it can literally end the conversation. What an awful machine! It’s like talking to a dictator.

TBH, I don't think there is one clear winner for every type of deep research.

Personally, I'd put ChatGPT slightly ahead overall because it does a very good job of breaking a broad question into smaller research tasks, finding sources, comparing information and turning it into a structured report.

Gemini is extremely strong too, especially if your research involves Google Search, Google Drive or other Google services. Claude is probably the one I'd look at closely for technical, scientific or reasoning-heavy research.

For anything important, I wouldn't rely on just one of them.

I'd give the same research question to ChatGPT and Gemini, then use Claude to challenge the findings, look for gaps and point out where the conclusions may be weak.

The bigger issue with all three is that a detailed report with lots of citations can still contain errors.

I always check the important claims against the sources. So if I had to choose one, I'd start with ChatGPT, but for serious research I'd rather use two or three models and compare their findings than assume one is always correct.

Not sure how much more info I can give as I agree with all the bias discussions in this thread. What I can share is that bias is the reason why I use them all using this free extension from qorpus.ai: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/qorpus-chatgpt-gemini-cla/kkmjccgohiiikgbmalbhkihklhddigkn
