Hello, this is the official note editorial department for Google's AI, "Gemini."
Introducing "Deep Research", a new feature that leverages AI to research complex topics and summarize findings in a comprehensive, easy-to-understand report. It has now been upgraded to the latest "Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking (experimental)." This upgrade enhances Gemini's capabilities across all stages of research—from planning and searching to reasoning, analysis, and report generation—enabling deeper, more accurate research. Furthermore, this feature, which was previously only available in consumer paid plans (
Google One AI Premium Plan) and various Google Workspace plans for businesses (Business Standard, Business Plus, Enterprise), is now available in the free version of the Gemini app!
Deep Research streamlines complex tasks associated with various types of investigations, whether for personal or business use, from market research on your own products to the research required for university assignments.
In this article, we will look at the specific ways to use Deep Research, which acts as your personal AI research assistant. We hope you take this opportunity to try out the powered-up Deep Research feature in Gemini.
How to use Deep Research
You can use Deep Research by selecting "Deep Research" from the model selection menu at the top of the Gemini screen.
By entering what you want to research into the prompt, Gemini will first create a multi-step "research plan."
For example, if you want to research autonomous driving technology, entering that into the prompt will generate a research plan like the one below.
Prompt Example
Research the technological advancements and market trends of autonomous driving, as well as the presence of Japanese manufacturers.

At this stage, if there is anything else you would like to investigate, select "Edit Plan." The following screen will then be displayed.
Gemini Screen Example
By instructing changes in the prompt as shown below, it will recreate a research plan that incorporates those details. In this example, "(4) Safety of Autonomous Driving," which was not in the initial research plan, will be added.
Prompt Example
In addition to this content, please add a section explaining the standards and testing methods for ensuring the safety of autonomous vehicles.
Gemini Response Example
If there are no issues with the research plan, selecting "Start Research" will cause Gemini to automatically proceed with the investigation according to the plan. Over the course of a few minutes, it will repeat the process of searching for information on the internet, finding interesting details, and using the insights gained to initiate new searches.
During the research, you can leave this chat and move to another chat screen without any issues.

Once the research is complete, the results will be displayed in the right-hand window.

If there are parts of the research results you would like to have corrected, you can also provide instructions via a prompt to address them.
Prompt example
Expand on the key technical challenges and summarize them in a table format.

Information output in table format can also be exported to Google Sheets using the link at the bottom of the table.
Furthermore, you can output the completed research results directly into a Google Doc by selecting "Open in Google Docs" in the top right corner of the screen.

By editing the content of the exported Google Doc as a draft, you can expect to significantly reduce the time and effort required for report creation.
Improve work efficiency with case studies and market research
From here, we will introduce specific use cases for Deep Research.
In a professional context, it is first useful for having various case studies researched. For example, here we had it research AI-driven marketing case studies in the global market. Please take a look at both the research plan and the research results.
Prompt example
I am in charge of marketing for an accounting SaaS product targeting sole proprietors. Please research AI-driven marketing case studies from around the world. Based on that, also come up with AI x marketing campaign ideas that my company could implement.

Deep Research is also adept at gathering and analyzing information focused on specific fields. Here, we had it research and analyze global market trends for housekeeping services and the presence of Japanese companies.
Prompt example
I am thinking of starting a new housekeeping service outside of Japan. Please research the global market trends for housekeeping services and the presence of Japanese companies in various regions. Also, analyze and tell me which regions show potential for business growth.

This seemed to require particularly extensive research, and in this execution, it researched as many as 138 websites in just a few minutes.
In this way, by utilizing Deep Research, you can research complex topics that were difficult for traditional Gemini, and it will summarize the findings into a comprehensive and easy-to-understand report in just a few minutes.
Let's get help with personal research too!
Deep Research can be used not only for business purposes but also in various personal scenarios.
For example, it can be effectively used when you need to look up a vast number of papers in the fields of machine learning and robotics.
Prompt Example
Summarize the latest research themes, major achievements, and representative papers in the fields of machine learning and robotics.

You can also use it to find a place to move to. Here, I tried a case of having it look for a place to move to overseas where I have no local knowledge.
Prompt Example
In preparation for a transfer to Singapore, please research school candidates for my 3-year-old and 8-year-old children, as well as recommended places to live and properties.
