Google says this about the novel combination of Deep Research and Workspace products:
Now you can start analyzing the market for your novel product by having Deep Research analyze your team’s initial brainstorming documentation, related email threads, and project plans. You can also create a competitive report on a competing product that aligns public web data with your strategies, spreadsheets, and team chats.
After selecting “deep research” in Gemini’s suggestion bar, users can choose which of four options they want to apply with Gemini: regular Google Search, Gmail, Drive, and/or Chat. This means that your emails in Gmail, documents, slides, spreadsheets and PDFs in Drive, and chat logs – if you apply Google Chat – will provide context for Google’s AI model.
