Accessing Deep Research in the Gemini App
The Web: A Sea of Information, but Where to Start?
The web is filled with resources, making it possible to find all the answers you need in one place. However, this abundance of information can also make finding exactly what you need a long and overwhelming process. Google’s new Deep Research offering aims to help you manage that process.
Introducing Deep Research
Recently, Google announced several AI advancements and releases. One of the biggest standouts for everyday users is Deep Research, an agentic feature for Gemini Advanced that can conduct thorough research on your behalf.
How Deep Research Works
With Deep Research, you can pose a question about the topic you want to learn more about. The agentic feature will create a multi-step research plan, which you can approve or disapprove. If the plan is approved, it will browse the web for you for a few minutes.
The Deep Research process mimics what humans do when engaging in research processes, such as browsing the web, making new searches with their findings, and continuing the process multiple times until it has collected sufficient information to answer your question.
The Results
The findings are then used to create a comprehensive report, organized with links to the original sources so that you can dive deeper into a particular area of interest. That report can be refined with follow-up questions, and once you are happy with the result, you can export it into Google Docs.
Getting Started with Deep Research
The experience is now live for all Gemini Advanced users on the desktop and mobile web – with plans to roll out to the app in early 2025. To use it, just select "1.5 pro with Deep Research" from the model toggle picker under the Gemini Advanced logo in the upper left-hand corner.
