The easier way to do Deep Research is to combine Gemini and NotebookLM

The best way to do deep research in 2025 is:

  1. Use Gemini Deep Research to gather materials and get a brief overview.
  2. Export all sources it found to NotebookLM.
  3. Use NotebookLM's Q&A, video overview, podcast, etc to understand the sources.
  4. Use NotebookLM's "Save to Note" in chat and "Convert to Source" feature to gather more information and context
  5. Create articles/deck/report using NotebookLM's studio mode

Gemini is good at finding resources but sucks at Q&A afterwards. NotebookLM sucks at wide research but excels in everything else. So it's natural to combine the two and it's easily 1+1>2
