Using Gemini Deep Research To Create "Backgrounder" Reports: Counterterrorism In India & Crypto For Terrorism Financing

Yesterday we demonstrated using Gemini to create brief "backgrounder" reports to provide context to important topics in the news, creating reports on counterterrorism trends in India and the use of crypto to finance terrorism around the globe. Both of these reports were created using Gemini 3.1 Pro with Search Grounding. Given how impressive the results were, we were asked what Gemini Deep Research could do with the same prompts given its vastly enhanced source access, planning and reasoning time, so we have rerun both reports via Deep Research and you can see the results below. Unlike yesterday's reports, which cost just a few pennies and took just tens of seconds to generate, these two reports took several minutes, but are considerably more detailed and rich in their analyses.
