Google has introduced a new feature for its Gemini Deep Research tool that allows users to leverage their emails and documents to enhance research capabilities. According to The Verge, this functionality, described as a highly requested feature by Google, transforms the AI-powered chatbot into a more comprehensive research tool, capable of generating detailed reports rather than just responding to queries.
The chatbot initiates the research process by outlining a multi-step plan and then conducts web searches to compile a comprehensive report. Users can refine the report by requesting additional information or exporting the entire document into a Google Doc or an AI-generated podcast.
Google emphasizes the integration between Deep Research and Workspace products, enabling users to kickstart various analyses, such as market research or competitor reports, by analyzing internal documents, email threads, and project plans. This seamless connection allows for cross-referencing public web data with user-generated content, leading to more insightful research outcomes.
Users can choose from four data sources – Google Search, Gmail, Drive, and Chat – to provide context for the AI model. While this feature is currently available on desktop, Google plans to extend its availability to mobile devices in the near future.
