What Gemini-Deep-Research does

Fetches pages while Gemini's Deep Research builds a report for a user.

As an AI assistant, it fetches pages for a person, in real time, while they use an AI assistant. The kinds of AI agent that visit websites.

Should you allow it?

Almost always allow it. Blocking it means the assistant can't read your pages when a customer asks about you, so it answers from somewhere else. A decision guide for blocking or allowing AI crawlers.

How to allow or block Gemini-Deep-Research

Gemini-Deep-Research reads the Gemini-Deep-Research group in your robots.txt. To block it everywhere:

User-agent: Gemini-Deep-Research
Disallow: /

To allow it everywhere, even if another rule blocks other bots:

User-agent: Gemini-Deep-Research
Allow: /

Robots.txt is a request, not a lock: well-behaved crawlers follow it, impostors don't. Robots.txt for AI agents.

How to tell if it's really Gemini-Deep-Research

Our registry doesn't verify Gemini-Deep-Research against published IP ranges yet, so treat a request that uses the name as a claim, not proof: anyone can send its user agent. Check Google's documentation for how to verify it.
