- Google adds integration of popular Workspace app to Gemini Deep Research
- PDF attachments were already available and required users to upload them
- Gemini and ChatGPT offer their own versions of deep research
Google has confirmed that it will bring context from Gmail, Google Drive and Chat to Gemini Deep Research to make the artificial intelligence tool even more useful.
The update, shared in a blog post, comes in response to consumer requests: While Deep Research could previously rely on attachments uploaded by users, its ability to integrate with core Google Workspace features makes collecting context much easier.
Deep Research is an agency feature within Gemini that can autonomously conduct detailed investigations to create “insightful, multi-page reports in minutes,” powered by Gemini 2.5.

“You can now 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 will have access to context through Gmail, Drive, and Chat, not just enterprise users. This comes after the company added support for PDF attachments in May.
Deep Research was introduced to the Gemini app to gain valuable insights on the go in February 2025; These additional integrations will be coming to the app in the coming days and are now available on the web.
Google isn’t the only company to offer this type of agent tool within its AI interface: ChatGPT Deep Research also serves a similar function and has also been updated over time, including access to a lightweight version based on o4-mini to expand access to all account types, including free customers.
For this particular Gemini update, users can choose to include or exclude any of the following four sources: Google Search; Gmail, Drive and Chat. Deep Research is available in 150 countries and supports more than 45 languages.
