Deep Research is now a skill for Glean Universal Key customers. The Deep Research chat mode is removed, and the separate monthly quota is retired. Customer Key organizations keep the current mode and quota until a later update.
User Features
Start Deep Research from the skill picker
Deep Research is a skill in chat. Open the skill picker and select Deep Research, or type /deep-research and your question. The report is still a cited write-up from company sources and the web, and it still runs in the background until Glean notifies you.
On the Glean Universal Key, Adaptive, Fast, and Thinking are no longer choices. Glean routes each question. Use the Deep Research skill when you want the long report.
If Deep research is still in the mode picker, your organization has not moved yet. That is expected for Customer Key organizations.
A chat that used the previous Deep Research agent shows a banner. Start new chat fills in /deep-research.
How to access: In Chat, select Deep Research from the skill picker, or type /deep-research and your question. An admin has to turn Deep Research on.
Admin Features
Retire the Deep Research monthly quota on the Glean Universal Key
The per-user monthly quota (default 10 runs, maximum 50) is retired for Glean Universal Key organizations. Saved quota values do not block skill runs. A run is billed as a normal Assistant query. On Enterprise Flex, standard models follow Assistant terms, and premium models consume FlexCredits. You can still turn Deep Research on or off, including for a subset of users.
Customer Key organizations keep the Deep Research mode and the monthly quota until they move to the skill. On the skill, Deep Research uses the model selected for that chat. On the Glean Universal Key, that is the model Glean routes to.
How to access: Go to Admin console → Platform → Assistant → Settings and open Deep Research.
