Aarush and software engineer Mukund Sridhar had an idea to build an AI system that researched all this for you and created a report of options. \u201cAfter a few weeks of prototyping with his team, Mukund pulled me into a room and was like, \u2018We did it,\u2019\u201d he says. Mukund asked the AI to find all the soccer and art summer camps for kids in the New York area and compare details about them. \u201cAnd it delivered,\u201d Mukund says. \u201cIt found details for more than 20 camps. So we thought, OK, we have something really cool here.\u201d<\/p>\n
That \u201csomething really cool\u201d was Deep Research. Now that more people can try the tool, we asked Aarush to share some tips on how to get the most out of it.<\/p>\n
Aarush says Deep Research is particularly useful for something that requires lots of browsing and lots of tabs. \u201cThink of it as helping you go from zero to understanding a subject deeply,\u201d Mukund agrees. If your question requires a fast, immediate answer then you probably don\u2019t need Deep Research. For example, if you want a quick synopsis of what \u201cfintech\u201d is, you can use Gemini\u2019s default chat option. But if you\u2019re a VC meeting a startup in the fintech sector and you want to catch up on the latest industry trends, Deep Research can help.<\/p>\n
Just because it\u2019s called \u201cDeep\u201d Research doesn\u2019t mean you need to labor over your initial prompt, Aarush says. \u201cDon\u2019t overthink it. You can always adjust your question, and before Deep Research even begins its work, it will show you its research plan and allow you to change it as needed.\u201d All you have to do is select the \u201cEdit plan\u201d option to ask Deep Research to add something to the plan or go in a different direction \u2014 all using natural language instructions. You don\u2019t need to be a prompt-writing master, Aarush says. \u201cYou can simply express your end goal \u2014 like \u2018I want to find a great summer camp in New York for my 10-year-old \u2014 and Deep Research can take it from there.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
