What it is — and why citing it matters
Gemini Deep Research is Google's agentic research mode: Gemini plans, browses many sites, and returns a long report with linked sources. It's Google's answer to ChatGPT Deep Research, and it shows up in student work the same way — as a ready-made brief that still needs disclosing and citing.
As with any AI report, the value is in the sources it surfaces; verify and cite those directly wherever you can.
