Gemini Deep Research

Use Gemini's Deep Research Agent to perform complex, long-running context gathering and synthesis tasks.

Prerequisites

• GEMINI_API_KEY environment variable (from Google AI Studio)
• Note: This does NOT work with Antigravity OAuth tokens. Requires a direct Gemini API key.

How It Works

Deep Research is an agent that:

1. Breaks down complex queries into sub-questions
2. Searches the web systematically
3. Synthesizes findings into comprehensive reports
4. Provides streaming progress updates

Usage

Basic Research

scripts/deep_research.py --query "Research the history of Google TPUs"

Custom Output Format

scripts/deep_research.py --query "Research the competitive landscape of EV batteries" \
  --format "1. Executive Summary\n2. Key Players (include data table)\n3. Supply Chain Risks"

With File Search (optional)

scripts/deep_research.py --query "Compare our 2025 fiscal year report against current public web news" \
  --file-search-store "fileSearchStores/my-store-name"

Stream Progress

scripts/deep_research.py --query "Your research topic" --stream

Output

The script saves results to timestamped files:

• deep-research-YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM-SS.md - Final report in markdown
• deep-research-YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM-SS.json - Full interaction metadata
