Have you ever thought about receiving a complete report on a certain subject with just one command? This is the great advantage of Deep Research do Gemini:, artificial intelligence of Google. Last week, the function was released for free to users as part of a package of updates to the company's AI model, which also improved the model Gemini 2.0 Flash, added the Personalization (Personalization), which allows the Gemini: adapt its responses based on information from the user's Google apps and services, and released the tool Gems. In this text, you will understand how to use the new free tool from Google Gemini.

What is Google Gemini?

O Gemini: is the artificial intelligence model of Google, previously known as Bard, developed to understand and process natural language in an advanced way, allowing more fluid and natural interactions with users – comparable to ChatGPT, OpenAI. Over time, beyond a simple chatbot, the tool has evolved to become an AI personal assistant that helps with everyday tasks and integrates with Google apps.

The AI ​​was updated last week, bringing the model Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental, which includes support for file uploads, increased efficiency and speed, and greater contextualization capabilities. It should now have improved ability to handle complex tasks and greater integration of AI with other applications, including Google Calendar, Notes, Tasks e Photos, complementing existing integrations with gmail, Documents, Drive, YouTube e YouTube Music.  

In the new update, the Google also added an experimental version of the model Personalization, in which the user will have their answers adapted to the user's search history. Google. The functionality, also powered by the model Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental, will use search history only when it determines that this information may be useful, according to the company. Initially, it is available to users of Gemini: e Gemini Advanced only in the browser.

Another important novelty is the release of Gems for everyone for free, allowing users to create their own custom AI models for any task, such as translation, meal planning, or tutoring school subjects. The Gems Custom files can also be linked to specific files. Google Drive (Documents e Worksheets).  

Along with the new model of Gemini:, the company finally also released the function Deep Research for all users free of charge, limited to ten uses every 30 days – for unlimited access, you must subscribe to the Gemini Advanced, for R$96,99. See how it works below.

How to use Deep Research

O Deep Search It was designed to handle complex research tasks by breaking them down into smaller parts, mining the internet for answers, and synthesizing the findings into much more complex answers than the answers in the chatbot default. For now, the template is only available in the web version of Gemini:. Learn how to use the Deep Research following the step-by-step:
