Summary
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because Landon from RH and landblake.com is here to introduce you to Google Gemini’s new “deep research” tool, a beta feature that might just replace your paralegal [0:06]. If you’re a Gemini Advanced subscriber, you might find this new option that will allow the tool to scrape the web for a deeper dive into research on a particular topic [0:15]. It’s not instant like your regular Gemini prompts; think of it as the slow cooker of AI research, taking its sweet time—like, up to 20 minutes [0:28]—to deliver results. Landon, who’s been using it for legal research, showcases how he prompted Gemini to list the 12 most important California Supreme Court decisions on water rights and got a detailed output, complete with case names, summaries, and key legal questions answered [0:39]. The tool then opens the research in Google Docs [1:22]. If you’re lucky enough to have this feature, it could seriously change how you do research [1:30].
