The Advantage of 'Dual-Source' Intelligence
The main strength of this feature is the combination of two perspectives: official web sources (what companies promise) and posts on X (what users actually experience). This is incredibly useful for uncovering 'marketing gaps' or technical issues that aren't mentioned in official documentation.
Tips While Waiting for Deep Search
Do not close the window if the status shows the AI is thinking or searching. Because Grok performs in-depth research involving multiple sub-queries, the generated output is of much higher quality and more comprehensive than a standard AI chat.

using deep search, give me a comprehensive analysis of the current state of AI agents. What are the main tools? What do they promise? What are the actual results people are getting? And where is the gap between marketing and reality?
Step by Step
How to Use the Deep Search Feature in Grok
- Open the Grok interface via x.com or the X mobile app.
- Click on the chat input box to start typing your prompt.
- Type the trigger phrase 'using deep search' at the beginning of your prompt.
- Enter your complex question or research topic after the phrase (e.g., industry analysis or technology comparisons).
- Press the 'Send' button or Enter to begin the process.
- Monitor the screen as Grok generates 'subqueries' and performs simultaneous searches across the web and the X platform (this process takes between 30 seconds to several minutes).
- Once the report is ready, check the citations section to see the references cited from official websites and user posts on X.
