Google’s Deep Research is an agentic feature that conducts comprehensive web research on behalf of users, and now it’s available through the Gemini Android app.

Key Features and Functionality: Deep Research operates by creating and executing multi-step research plans based on user queries.

  • Users can pose questions about any topic, and the AI develops a research strategy that can be approved or rejected
  • The feature mimics human research behavior by browsing the web, making iterative searches, and compiling findings
  • Results are presented as organized reports with source links for further exploration
  • Users can refine reports through follow-up questions and export final results to Google Docs

Platform Availability: The feature’s rollout represents a significant expansion of Gemini’s research capabilities across platforms.

  • Previously available only on desktop and mobile web for Gemini Advanced users
  • Now accessible through the free Gemini Android app by selecting “1.5 pro with Deep Research” from the app’s menu
  • Integration maintains consistent functionality across platforms while expanding user accessibility

Service Integration and Pricing: Deep Research is part of Google’s broader AI and productivity ecosystem.

  • Available through the Google One AI Premium plan at $20 monthly
  • Subscription includes 2TB storage, enhanced Google Photos editing, 10% Google Store rewards
  • Package also features Google Meet premium video calling and Gemini for Workspace
  • New users can access a two-month free trial period

Strategic Implementation: The rollout strategy demonstrates Google’s approach to democratizing AI research capabilities.

  • Focuses on reducing the overwhelming nature of web research by automating the process
  • Maintains transparency by providing source links and allowing user oversight of the research plan
  • Enables iterative refinement of results, allowing users to guide the research process

Looking Forward: As AI research assistants become more sophisticated, the distinction between human-conducted and AI-assisted research may blur, potentially raising questions about the evolving nature of academic and professional research methodologies.
