Title: Google Gemini can now do deep research on your Gmail and Drive data

Google released GeminiΓÇÖs Deep Research feature in March, a few months after
unveiling the tool, giving you the capability to ask the AI chatbot to create
comprehensive reports on complex topics. Deep Research uses sources from the
web to write reports for you, but now a new update also allows it to pull
information from your Gmail, Docs, Drive and Chat. Google says itΓÇÖs one of
the toolΓÇÖs most requested features, and youΓÇÖll be able to take advantage
of it in Gemini, even if youΓÇÖre not paying for a subscription.

With GoogleΓÇÖs latest update, Deep Research is now able to use your emails,
all the Slides, Docs, Sheets and PDFs in your Drive, as well your chat
history as references. That translates to a more personalized report, since
Gemini wouldnΓÇÖt just be using sources from the web. If you ask it to write
a marketing analysis for you, for instance, it will take into account your
notes, any document your team has written or any back-and-forth between you
and your colleagues on email. It can cross-reference information from your
account with public data to make, say, comparison spreadsheets for competitor
analysis.

Take note that you will be able to control which Google service to link to,
if youΓÇÖre uneasy about giving Gemini access to all your information. When
you click on the Deep Research tool in Gemini, youΓÇÖll see a drop-down menu
where you can tick on Search, Gmail, Drive and Chat individually. At the
moment, the feature is only available on desktop, but it will make its way to
mobile devices ΓÇ£in the coming days.ΓÇ¥
