What is Deep Research?

Deep Research is a mode of Generative Search that is designed to do more iterative research before producing its analysis. It may run 50, or even 100 different searches to develop and execute its research plan, and regularly will cite 100+ sources. This also means it takes a bit longer. Please note, you can only run 3 deep research reports at a time.

What Deep Research Delivers:

Ask for thorough industry primers, acquisition ideas, competitive landscapes, and more
Give Gen Search instructions about the structure and format of the desired output
Set & forget it – let the model work for 5-30 minutes while you catch up on other things (or even get up and get a coffee!). Please note you can only run 3 deep research reports at a time.
See a full log of how the tool formed its research plan, reasoned through different topics and sources, and generated its report—step-by-step

Note: Deep Research is currently in beta.

4_Gen Search vs Deep Research Comparison-min.gif

Gen Search with Deep Research	Gen Search without Deep Research
Ideal for deep analysis and synthesis Want a detailed report in 15-30 minutes Team efficiency - you need more experts/analysts at your disposal for the task	Ideal for real-time, multi-turn conversations Want a quick overview in less than a minute Time Efficiency - you can do the task but want AlphaSense to do it faster

What is Web Search?

When web search is turned on, the latest Gemini model helps find and organize relevant results.
Gemini does not summarize the content, it simply collects the content to send to AlphaSense for summarization.
