Gemini Deep Research feature has been significantly upgraded

(April 9, 2025) - Google AI assistant Gemini has just made an exciting upgrade to its powerful "Deep Research" feature, allowing you to say goodbye to information overload and become a research expert easily.

What is Deep Research? What can it do for you?

Imagine you just need to tell Gemini the topic you want to research, such as "the latest application of artificial intelligence in the medical field" or "analyze the recent electric vehicle market trends", and then, something magic happens:

Automatic planning: Gemini will be like a smart assistant, automatically helping you plan research steps.

Search the entire network: It will use Google's powerful search capabilities to quickly scan relevant information on the Internet.

Intelligent analysis and summary: What's more amazing is that it is not just an information porter! With the help of advanced AI models (now the stronger Gemini 2.5 Pro experimental version), it can understand, analyze and synthesize this information.

Generate a structured report: Finally, in just a few minutes, generate a research report that is clearly organized, detailed, and even cited with information sources!

Simply put, Deep Research is your exclusive AI research assistant, especially suitable for you who need to quickly digest complex information, conduct research on projects, market analysis or technology selection.

What "dry goods" did this upgrade bring?

This update is not a small fuss, the core change is that the Deep Research feature is now powered by the more powerful Gemini 2.5 Pro model. What does this mean to you?

Report quality soars: The new model has significantly improved in understanding complex problems, reasoning and integrating information. Google officially revealed that users' satisfaction with the new version of Deep Research is more than twice as satisfied with the reports generated by other mainstream research tools! This means you can get more reliable and in-depth analysis results.

Research anytime, anywhere: This feature now fully supports mobile phones, and you can start research tasks at any time whether you are on the road to commute or in a cafe.

"Listen" reports: What's even cooler is that Google also integrates the Audio Overviews feature of NotebookLM apps. Now you can convert generated research reports into podcast-style audio in one click! This is definitely a blessing for friends who like to listen to books or want to use fragmented time to "listen" reports. (At present, the audio feature only supports English, but plans to support more languages in the future).

The good news is that Google is making this powerful tool more people:

Free users: Now you can use the Deep Research feature for free! However, the number of reports that can be generated per month is limited. It is a good start for mild research needs.

Gemini Advanced Subscriber: If you are a paid subscription user, then congratulations, you can use Deep Research without restrictions and enjoy the best experience brought by a more advanced model.

Why is Deep Research very special?

Compared with other AI assistants (such as ChatGPT), Gemini's Deep Research may have more advantages in information timeliness and comprehensiveness with Google's "secret skills" - a powerful search engine and real-time data update capabilities. It not only answers based on past data, but also captures the latest network dynamics.

This upgrade also marks that Gemini is no longer just a chatbot, it is moving towards professional-level research tools. Google also said that it will continue to polish this feature in the future and plans to integrate it into the Google Workspace (such as documents, forms, etc.) ecosystem to make the AI research experience more seamless.
