# Deep Research

Deep Research lets your agents conduct thorough, multi-source investigations on any topic and receive detailed findings as structured Markdown reports with sources. Powered by Google Gemini, it goes far beyond surface-level lookups to deliver comprehensive analysis your agents can act on.

## Setup

<Check>No setup required. Deep Research is automatically available to every agent.</Check>

## Capabilities

* **Comprehensive topic investigation** — Autonomously explores a topic across multiple sources, gathering and synthesizing information into a detailed report.
* **Source-backed findings** — Returns structured Markdown reports with cited sources so your agents can verify and reference the underlying material.
* **Asynchronous research** — Handles complex, time-intensive research in the background (up to 55 minutes for complex topics) while your agent continues other work.
* **Workspace output** — Saves research results as Markdown files in `/workspace/deep_research/`, making them available for downstream processing and reference.

## Key Benefits

* **Depth over speed** — Goes beyond quick lookups to deliver well-rounded, multi-angle analysis on complex subjects.
* **Hands-off research** — Your agent provides the topic and instructions, then Deep Research runs autonomously and returns when finished.
* **Decision-quality output** — Produces thorough background material that supports informed decision-making and detailed reporting.
* **Structured and reusable** — Results are saved as Markdown files, ready for your agent to process, summarize, or include in deliverables.
