Ask HN: Examples of O1 pro DeepResearch proving its worth?

Hey all! We use all the LLMs fairly heavily. We see their promise and are aware of their pitfalls. Wondering if DeepResearch really is a major step up compared to the rest or even our jerry-rigged prompt chains. If you've used it and have found a significant upside, can you please share your experience. An actual output would be wonderful. Thank you!

They are very good at searching for niche results that are not often found by simply looking them up on Google. It is often depressing to find a better alternative after building software, but if you ask deep research first, they will find all the competition.

I found this on X and it seems like a good workflow to use the two tools together:
o1 PRO - https://chatgpt.com/share/67a817e1-7d4c-8001-bea7-b45d34c8e7... DeepResearch - https://chatgpt.com/share/67a817ec-e360-8001-af8f-1748080ea1...
