- Google adds popular Workspace app integration to Gemini Deep Research
- PDF attachments were already available, requiring user uploads
- Gemini and ChatGPT both offer their own take on Deep Research
Google has confirmed that it will bring Gmail, Google Drive and Chat context into Gemini Deep Research to make the AI tool even more useful.
The update, shared in a blog post, comes in response to consumer requests – while Deep Research could previously pull from user-uploaded attachments, its ability to integrate with core Google Workspace features makes context gathering much easier.
Deep Research is an agent function within Gemini that can perform detailed research autonomously to create “insightful multi-page reports in minutes,” powered by Gemini 2.5.

“Now you can start a market analysis for a new product by having Deep Research analyze your team’s initial brainstorming documents, related email threads and project plans,” the company noted.
All Gemini users get access to context via Gmail, Drive and Chat – not just business users. This comes after the company added support for PDF attachments in May.
Deep Research was introduced to the Gemini app for powerful insights on the go in February 2025 – these additional integrations are coming to the app in the coming days and are already available on the web.
Google is not the only company to offer this type of agent tool in its AI interface – ChatGPT Deep Research also has a similar feature and has also been upgraded over time, including gaining access to a lightweight o4 mini-based version to extend access to all account types, including free customers.
For this particular Gemini update, users can choose to include or exclude any of the four following sources: Google Search; Gmail, Drive and Chat. Deep Research is available in 150 countries and supports over 45 languages.
