How Does Gemini's Deep Research Work?

As generative AI systems become so powerful, some people have speculated they could end up replacing search engines. However, as all the capable AI models seem to generate substandard results, Google's AI Gemini app is a beacon of guiding light in the new frontier of AI integration into search platforms.

What makes Google's AI assistant Gemini so good? It tackles complex tasks through a multi-step process that finds relevant information and synthesizes results into detailed reports that users can fine tune to their liking.

Lets break this down even further though, because understanding Google's AI powered research tasks will help you understand the in's and out's of Gemini's advanced research assistant.

Research Planning

The first thing Gemini does when tasked with a new research project is formulate a research plan. By breaking down the search query into a number of sub-tasks that it presents to you, you can then choose which areas of research to focus on.

Research

An AI model developed for search engines shouldn't just fetch information, it should reason between results to deliver the right information. As Gemini delves into complex topics it researches, it shows users a thought-panel that lets you track its reasoning in real time.

Comprehensive Reporting

When synthesizing all the results its fetched and reasoned through, Gemini generates a structured report with a strategic starting point meant to communicate any amount of data most understandably. For clarity, Google will evaluate its own results over and over again, refining reports live with Gemini.

Using Gemini Advanced

Now that you understand how Gemini's deep research works, lets get into how to use Gemini for research.

First, go to Gemini advanced on the web. Next, click on the model in the top left corner and scroll down the drop-down list of large language models (llms), then select Deep Research. Click through the prompts then enter Chat with Gemini.

Now, input a prompt to the chatbot and see how Gemini generates a research plan for you to fine tune. You can then choose to edit the plan or start research.

As you can see, the detailed reports generated by Gemini allow for many different research strategies for users to comb through. Where Gemini works best is creating detailed reports with citations to better impact businesses looking to improve their audience targeting.

These reports are then saved in your Google drive and can then be shared with other AI models like ChatGPT. Furthermore, because Gemini integrates with Gmail Docs and Sheets, you can access its AI-powered research while working with these tools.

Many industries can make use of Gemini's research tools, yet Gemini's financial insights might be the most beneficial for businesses. Conducting data analysis through Gemini finance organizes all the relevant analytics in a wide range of data sets, making it essential to manage your business. It also identifies patterns relevant to your business so you can predict what trends to follow.
