What if you could get a comprehensive market analysis that would normally take weeks of research in just 13 minutes, complete with competitor breakdowns, financial projections, and strategic frameworks? In this episode, we put AI's newest "deep research" capabilities to the ultimate test, pitting Gemini, ChatGPT, and Perplexity against each other in a head-to-head battle to analyze the explosive $30 billion vibe coding market. While AI companies are raising billions and getting acquired overnight (we're looking at you, Windsurf drama), we discovered which AI tool actually delivers actionable insights versus pretty charts with outdated data. And the results might surprise you! Whether you're a product manager hunting for market opportunities or just someone who wants to stop spending countless hours on research rabbit holes, this deep dive reveals which AI research assistant deserves a more prominent spot in your workflow.
