Google Gemini Deep Research can search your emails, drives, and chats

Gemini can now tap into your emails and documents while performing “deep search” queries. Google Advertisement blog He called this “one of our most requested features” for Gemini deep researcha proxy feature specifically designed to generate research reports rather than just answer questions. The chatbot starts by creating a multi-step research plan, then performs a series of web searches to generate a report that you can ask it to edit with additional information, or export the whole thing to a Google Doc or Podcast generated by artificial intelligence.

Google says of the new relationship between Deep Research and Workspace products:

Now you can start your market analysis for a new product by having Deep Research analyze your team’s initial brainstorming documents, relevant email threads, and project plans. Or you can create a competitor report on a competing product that cross-references public web data with your strategies, comparison spreadsheets, and team conversations.

Once they select “Deep Search” on Gemini’s prompt bar, users can choose which of four options they want Gemini to use: regular Google search, Gmail, Drive, and/or chat. This means that your emails in Gmail, your documents, slides, sheets, PDFs in Drive, and your chat logs — if you use Google Chat — will provide context for Google’s AI model.

Right now, this app is only available on desktop, but Google says it will soon start rolling out to mobile in the coming days.
