Google Introduces Gemini Search Agents: AI Does Web Research for You, Writes Reports Automatically

Google launched Gemini Search Agents—AI agents that conduct multi-step web research autonomously. Tell an agent "Find best practices for SaaS onboarding"—it searches, synthesizes findings, identifies patterns, and generates a formatted report (2000+ words). Accuracy: 91% fact-checked against reliable sources (Wikipedia, academic databases, authoritative sites). Use case: marketers gathering competitive intel, startup founders researching markets, researchers finding academic consensus. Speed: 5-15 minutes per report (vs. 4 hours manual research). Pricing: Included in Gemini Advanced ($20/month). Available globally starting April 1.
