Google has released the highly-anticipated Deep Research feature in its Gemini AI assistant, aiming to make in-depth research more accessible. The tool promises to provide detailed reports on specific topics within minutes. However, our review reveals mixed results.
The Deep Research feature is part of the Gemini Advanced subscription and requires a $20 monthly fee. Initially, users must specify their topic, and the tool generates a report with various data points. For broader, easier topics like AI chatbots or interior design, the reports are relatively good. However, for specific subjects like stock market research, the results fall short.
During our testing, the tool failed to provide accurate information on key performance indicators (KPIs) and sometimes listed incorrect company names. The accompanying text was also unclear in its data presentation, leading to confusion. These issues suggest that Google still needs to refine the Deep Research tool to meet user expectations.
On the other hand, Gemini did better with subsequent attempts at researching different topics. For instance, providing information on interior design styles and color schemes worked well, but the reports lacked visual elements. The chatbot research also showed promise, although the report’s content felt somewhat generic and lacking in depth.
In conclusion, Google’s Deep Research tool is a mixed bag. While it shows potential for more general topics, its performance falls short for specific subjects like stock market research. Users should exercise caution when using this feature and be prepared to adapt to its limitations. As AI technology continues to evolve, we expect improvements in the near future, making Deep Research an invaluable resource for those seeking in-depth information.
