Google has launched a powerful new feature for Gemini Advanced subscribers called Deep Research. This tool acts as a personal research assistant, helping users tackle complex tasks in a fraction of the time it would usually take.
What Is Deep Research?
Deep Research allows users to ask Gemini detailed research questions. Once a question is submitted, Gemini creates a multi-step plan to gather and analyze information. Users can review this plan and make adjustments, such as adding more topics or aspects to investigate, before starting the research process.
When you click “Start research,” Gemini follows these steps:
- Searches the web to find relevant information.
- Analyzes and refines its findings by performing additional searches based on what it has learned.
- Organizes the results into a detailed and easy-to-read report.
The final report includes:
- Key findings, neatly organized under clear headings.
- A list of sources and related content for further reading.
- Links to all researched websites.
- A summary of insights and a concise conclusion.
You can export this report directly to Google Docs, making it easy to share or integrate into other projects.
Why Use Deep Research?
Google frames Deep Research as a “personal research assistant” designed to save time. Tasks that might take hours can now be completed in just a few minutes. The feature is ideal for students, professionals, and anyone who needs detailed insights quickly. Instead of focusing on data collection, users can focus on understanding and applying the information.
Availability
Deep Research is now available to Gemini Advanced subscribers in over 45 languages and more than 150 countries. The feature works on both desktop and mobile web platforms.
To access it:
- Open Gemini Advanced.
- In the model picker, select “1.5 Pro with Deep Research.”
For mobile app users, Deep Research will roll out in early 2025.
Why It Matters
Deep Research streamlines complex tasks, making detailed information more accessible. With this tool, Google moves closer to its vision of AI as a practical and efficient assistant. Whether you’re conducting academic research, preparing a report, or diving into a personal project, Deep Research can help you achieve your goals faster and with less effort.
