The newly revealed research AI tool is available to Gemini Advanced subscribers, with English as the only available language.
Google revealed a new artificial intelligence tool designed specifically to empower research on the web. The product is named Deep Research and is available to Gemini Advanced subscribers. Users with access to it can create simple or thorough briefs for the AI agent, which it uses to scour the internet and come back with a detailed report based on its findings.
Deep Research is available only in the English language for now, but Google has promised to introduce more support languages to help regional researchers as well. The AI chatbot works in an organized manner right from the beginning where it creates a multi-step research plan that users can either approve or edit.
According to the makers of Deep Research, the AI chatbot agent starts by finding interesting pieces of information and then expanding it by searching more related topics. Google says that the AI chatbot does this several times in mere seconds to collate structured and verified research insights.
This AI tool eliminates hours of research effort and brings in-depth insights to the researcher in less than a minute. Google tackles complex research tasks by simplifying the findings in a comprehensive and easy-to-read report. The speed metrics, as Google claims, are ‘based on the time estimated to read the amount of content that Deep Research browses vs. the time that it takes to generate a Deep Research report on average.’
The AI agent is accessible through the dropdown menu upon selecting Gemini 1.5 Pro with Deep Research. The overall experience and navigation on Deep Research resembles that of the ‘Pages’ feature offered by AI search engine Perplexity.
Following Deep Research closely, Google also announced Gemini 2.0 Flash, a faster version of the next-gen AI chatbot. Gemini 2.0 Flash is in the experimental stage and is made available to all users. Both the new introductions aim to build Google’s position as the provider of AI agents.
