I use the “add to project” to organize my dialogues so I can keep track of them. On of my folders (projects) I named Deep Research, because as the name suggests, it contains all the really long and detailed Deep Research questions. Often times I use Deep Research multiple times in one dialogue to extract more but I can only do this if I temporarily remove the dialogue from the folder (project). Why can I not use deep research with a dialogue in a project folder? Does this serve some purpose or is this a bug?

extremely annoying and inconvenient. Will really benefit from a much more organized search with all those things saved in the chatGPTs memory.

I agree. I ask ChatGPT probably around 600 prompts a day and all of them have usually nothing to do with each other, then, 2 weeks later, its lost it the weeds of all the chat dialoges, the search bar helps but it isn’t fully optimized (Filter for Deep research dialogs, filter for dialogs with over 10 prompts, filter by model used, filter by token usage of responses, sort by most complex to least most brief, these are just ideas that took me 14 seconds to think of (I will be here all week)).
A folder, not project, would be quite useful.

+1 — I imagine this is just a limitation of the current UI, but please do prioritize this. Right now I have to move chats in and out so I can do deep research, which is annoying.

+1 — $200/month and no ‘Deep Research’ in Projects — please fast‑track this!

thats what i have been doing as well, very annoying indeed
i am in the same boat my friend, thanks for the support.
Same to me. I cost $200/Mo and don’t want to use a incomplete tool.
The solution GPT told to me is really stupid.

Fair point! Thanks for the information.
I noticed this problem still exists on the web version but if you use the chatgpt mobile app (android ) the deep research button is available there inside projects.
Maybe it’s only rolled out to some users / versions. I see it here under this telescope icon.
I’m using android app version 1.2025.105

right that must be an android thing in that case, I have a iPhone 13 pro.
Looks like it’s not just an Android thing — despite running the latest ChatGPT Android app (v 1.2025.112), the deep research button still isn’t showing up for me.

A nested structure would be awesome!
This is so dumb! One day i see deep research in project chat, now it’s gone
Paying $200 for clunky UX! Argh. Very hard to mange 10+ projects
Summary as of May 15, 2025
- web UI still does not expose “Deep Research” inside a project.
- moving chat outside project exposes it. I end up referencing the artifacts and outputs of the project from the independent chat a ton to provide it adequate information
- the Android UI exposes it, but it’s hidden behind the “settings” button that becomes visible once you begin typing.

Everyone, I’ve got a Tampermonkey script.
Find it at rahulrajaram/tampermonkey_scripts/blob/master/show_deep_research_in_project_views.js on Github (link in bio). I’m unable to link anything here 
.
The script enables Deep Research within projects. It will create an alternate “Deep Research - Copy” button. So far in my testing, it seems to work.
The essence of it is that
- Your conversation POST request bodyneeds to look like
{
"system_hints": ["research"],
"messages": [{
"metadata": {
"system_hints": ["research"],
...
}
},
...
]
- You need a way to tell the browser app that you need to inject those fields. This is where a new button comes in.
