Deep Research Comes To Gemini Android App

After debuting on the web in December, Deep Research is now available in Gemini for Android.

“Deep Research’ is Gemini’s first agentic feature that lets you ask an extended (research) question. Google will offer a multi-step plan that you can granularly customize. After tapping “Start research,” Gemini will take 5-10 minutes on average (“For more complex reports, it may take longer”) to search the web, look through websites, and perform new searches based on what it has learned. This process happens several times. You then get a report organized into sections with sources listed at the bottom.

The UI on mobile is pretty similar, with the ability to export to Google Docs afterwards. File upload and Gemini Live are disabled with this model. You can leave the Gemini app as Deep Research is working, with a notification marking completion. It is currently powered by Gemini 1.5 Pro.

Google reiterated that Deep Research was coming to Android when it announced Talk Live about this, multi-Extension prompts, and the Circle to Search redesign. Deep Research was first previewed in August (at Made by Google 2024) and launched in December.

There are limits for “Daily research requests” and “Number of research requests you can run at the same time”:

If you’re close to your limit, Gemini Apps notifies you how many research requests are left for the day.

As of Tuesday morning, we’re seeing Gemini Deep Research widely rolled out on Android. It’s not yet available in the iOS app, with a Gemini Advanced subscription required. This follows 2.0 Flash widely rolling out to the mobile app yesterday.
