Who is Deep Research Max best for?
Deep Research Max is best for analyst teams who need overnight cited reports on their own data.
Overnight due diligence
It runs as a background job for up to an hour, so a scheduled task can have a full cited report ready by morning.
Research over private data
It can search remote MCP servers, uploaded files and File Search stores, with or without the open web.
Reports that need charts
It draws charts and infographics inside the report, in HTML or with Nano Banana, instead of returning text only.
