Hyderabad: Google has announced Deep Research, a personal AI research assistant that can explore complex topics on your behalf and provide findings in a comprehensive and easy-to-read report. This tags alongside the announcement of Gemini 2.0, Google's most capable AI model yet.
Deep Research is the first feature in Gemini that follows Google's vision of building more agentic capabilities into its products. Google says that the new agentic system combines Google's web expertise and Gemini's advanced reasoning to produce insightful reports.
Deep Research to make research work easy
Deep Research has been designed to do all the hard work associated with researching a topic, which would have taken hours of "cross-referencing a sea of open tabs", finding relevant information, and putting it into the document.
With Deep Research, Gemini can create a multi-step research plan for you to either revise or approve. Once approved, it begins deeply analysing relevant information from across the web on your behalf, Google explains in a blog post.
"Over the course of a few minutes, Gemini continuously refines its analysis, browsing the web the way you do: searching, finding interesting pieces of information and then starting a new search based on what it’s learned," it adds.
Google says that it repeats the process multiple times, following which it generates a comprehensive report of the key findings. Users can select to export the information into a Google Doc. The document is said to be neatly organised with links to the original sources, connecting users to relevant websites and businesses or organisations they might not have found otherwise, allowing them to dig deeper if they want.
Gemini also lets users ask follow-up questions for additional information or if they want to refine the report presented by Deep Research.
Deep Research - Gemini Advanced: Availability
Deep Research is currently only available in English and has started rolling out in Gemini Advanced on desktop and mobile web. It will be available in the mobile app in early 2025.
To use Deep Research, Gemini Advanced users need to toggle the model drop-down to “Gemini 1.5 Pro with Deep Research” and enter their research question.
