Google to take on OpenAI with Deep Research AI agent on Gemini mobile app

Google Gemini’s Deep Research AI agent is now rolling out on the Gemini smartphone app for Android. According to 9To5Google, the Gemini 1.5 Pro-powered Deep Research feature has started appearing in the model picker menu of the Gemini mobile app for paid-tier subscribers.

Initially introduced on the web version of Gemini last month, Deep Research functions as an AI-powered research assistant, helping users explore complex topics. When given a prompt, it generates a multi-step research plan that requires user approval. Users can modify the plan before the AI begins analysing web-based information, refining its findings through iterative searches, and compiling a detailed report with source links.
