View the updated version of this note: How to Rank in ChatGPT Deep Research 2.0: Paying Attention to Refinements
Howdy Notebooker!
Today’s note is a new and improved version of the first note/bot I sent on ainotebook.com back in April 2025, sign up if you haven’t already!
Today I’m going to show you how you can improve your chances of ranking in ChatGPT by paying close attention to the way ChatGPT Deep Research wants to refine your queries.
I’ve now improved the GPT Bot to to help you find specific URLs to strengthen and I even provide passage recommendations to help you do it!
It's called Deep Research Refinement Synthesizer 2.0 now using GPT-5 and an improved backend prompt!
I’ve created version 2.0 of my Deep Research Refinement Synthesizer and which I covered in my AEO Course on CXL that just wrapped up its second cohort.
It’s my strong assertion that Deep Research will replace the traditional SaaS user journey and that eventually, every Generative AI search will end up looking like a Deep Research result. See my AI search client MappedIn’s deep research for indoor mapping software for malls.
