Overview

What it is

Two research agents in the Gemini API: Deep Research for low-latency interactive workflows, Deep Research Max for exhaustive async synthesis. Both support MCP data sources and native chart generation. For developers and AI engineers.

Intent

I need it when

Generate professional research reports with embedded visualizations and charts from complex datasets

Deep Research natively generates high-quality charts and infographics in-line with HTML or Nano Banana, transforming dense qualitative and quantitative data into presentation-ready visual elements without requiring separate visualization tools.

Accelerate research workflows in life sciences and regulated industries where context gathering is the first step in complex analysis

Deep Research serves as a foundation for enterprise workflows in life sciences and finance, offering exhaustive research capabilities that gather comprehensive context from multiple sources, reducing manual research time while maintaining expert-grade analytical quality.

Maintain transparency and control over the research investigation scope and methodology

Deep Research provides collaborative planning features allowing users to review, guide, and refine the research plan before execution, plus real-time streaming of intermediate reasoning steps and live thought summaries for interactive user surfaces.

Conduct comprehensive due diligence research across financial data, SEC filings, and market sources for investment analysis

Deep Research Max integrates with financial data providers (FactSet, S&P Global, PitchBook) via MCP, consults diverse authoritative sources including SEC filings and peer-reviewed journals, and generates professional-grade, fully-cited reports suitable for analyst teams. Extended test-time compute ensures rigorous factuality and nuanced analysis of conflicting evidence.

Integrate autonomous research capabilities into enterprise workflows that blend public web data with proprietary internal data sources

Deep Research supports Model Context Protocol (MCP) to securely connect custom data streams and specialized professional repositories, file uploads, connected file stores, and arbitrary tool definitions, enabling seamless integration of gated data universes into agentic pipelines.

Drop

Not a fit when

  • User requires real-time interactive research with sub-second latency; Deep Research Max uses extended test-time compute and is designed for asynchronous workflows
  • User needs to search only proprietary data without web access and has not configured Model Context Protocol (MCP) connections
  • User requires guaranteed factual accuracy in highly regulated domains without expert review; agent outputs require stakeholder validation
  • User operates in an environment where API-based external data access is prohibited or restricted
  • User needs research on topics requiring real-time data updates faster than overnight batch processing cycles
