What is the difference between Deep Research and Deep Research Max?

Deep Research is optimized for low-latency, interactive workflows, while Deep Research Max uses more compute and reasoning steps for exhaustive async synthesis, producing longer, more thoroughly cited reports. Max is slower and more expensive per query.

Can I use my own data sources with Gemini Deep Research?

Yes, both agents support MCP data sources, allowing you to connect private files or custom datasets for targeted research.

Is Deep Research Max available through the Gemini API?

Yes, it is accessible via the Gemini API using Google AI Studio credentials. You specify the model in your API call just like any other Gemini model.

Does the output include charts?

Yes, Deep Research agents support native chart generation, so reports can include visual data representations automatically.
