Gemini's Deep Research browses the web for you – try the Android app now for free

The web is filled with resources, which makes it possible to find all the answers you need in one place, but this can also make finding exactly what you need a long and overwhelming process. Google’s Deep Research offering aims to help you manage that process — and it’s now rolling out on Android. 

In December, Google announced several AI advancements and releases. One of the biggest standouts for everyday users is Deep Research, an agentic feature for Gemini Advanced that can conduct thorough research on your behalf.

Since launch, the experience has been live for all Gemini Advanced users on the desktop and mobile web. As of this week, Deep Research is also rolling out to the free Gemini Android app. To use the AI agent, select “1.5 pro with Deep Research” from the drop-down menu in the app.

With Deep Research, you can pose a question about the topic you want to learn more about. The agentic feature will create a multi-step research plan, which you can approve or disapprove. If the plan is approved, it will browse the web for you for a few minutes. 

The Deep Research process mimics what humans do when engaging in research processes, such as browsing the web, making new searches with their findings, and continuing the process multiple times until it has collected sufficient information to answer your question. 

Those findings are then used to create a comprehensive report, organized with links to the original sources so that you can dive deeper into a particular area of interest. That report can be refined with follow-up questions, and — once you’re happy with the results — can be exported into Google Docs. 

Gemini Advanced is part of the Google One AI Premium plan, costing users $20 per month. Other perks of the plan include 2TB of storage, Google Photos editing features, 10% back in Google Store rewards, Google Meet premium video calling features, and Gemini for Workspace. Google also offers users a two-month free trial as part of the new plan.
