Live demo of Deep Background for Claude and ChatGPT o3

Deep Background is an essential new AI research tool. In an era where information is abundant but judgment is scarce, the real challenge isn’t finding answers—it’s knowing which claims deserve trust and which ones don’t. AI can either amplify confusion or sharpen thinking, depending on how it’s used.

In this live demo, Mike Caulfield demonstrates how Deep Background works with Claude (with web/search enabled) and ChatGPT o3 to help users fact-check claims, surface credible sources, and build a clearer understanding of complex topics. Rather than relying on a single answer, Deep Background encourages a more disciplined approach: slow down, look around, and understand the broader context before drawing conclusions.

While the example shown uses a student-style workflow, the implications are much broader. This is a powerful approach for leaders, business owners, educators, and professionals who need to make sense of fast-moving information, evaluate competing narratives, and avoid being misled by confident-sounding but poorly grounded claims.

What makes this demo especially valuable is its focus on how to think with AI, not just how to use it. You’ll see how better prompts lead to better context, why sourcing matters more than speed, and where human judgment still plays a critical role. Used well, tools like Deep Background don’t replace thinking—they support clearer, more responsible decision-making.

What you’ll learn in this demo

• How Deep Background adds context and sources to AI-generated responses

• How Claude and ChatGPT o3 can be used to evaluate claims more responsibly

• How to ask better follow-up questions that improve accuracy and insight

• Where AI tools help—and where discernment and experience still matter

Important note: Deep Background currently works with Claude when web/search is enabled, and in ChatGPT it requires o3 (not the default models). For regular use, a paid Claude account is recommended.
