Gemini / Gemini Deep Research & Evidence
Gemini: choose research sources deliberately
List the material you want included and whether public search is appropriate. Keep personal email or Drive material outside scope unless needed and permitted.
Environment and inputs: Gemini user guide · Feature and source access depend on the active account, app and organization settings. Optional file or app steps have a text-excerpt fallback. No fixed model version, price or usage quota is assumed.
What you will make
A practical Gemini guide to choose research sources deliberately. Use the sample input and prompt, then check the result. Use a fictional office operations task as the practice setting. State the source revision and review date alongside the requested output.
Prepare the source and scope
List the material you want included and whether public search is appropriate. Keep personal email or Drive material outside scope unless needed and permitted. Open Gemini Apps and use the account and source options permitted for this assignment.
Try this prompt
In Gemini, provide the prepared input, then send the following request. For real work, replace fictional details with approved facts.
Draft a source-scope note for this research: public vendor documentation only, no personal email or private Drive content. Identify evidence unavailable under that scope.Review the result
Review the available source selections and check the finished report's citations against the intended boundary. Record each correction and its supporting source.
If the answer is wrong or incomplete
A connected service can broaden the evidence set. Confirm the selected sources before starting a sensitive assignment. Name the exact source being used. If a connected or uploaded file is unavailable, paste a permitted excerpt and continue with that limited evidence.
Practice and completion check
Repeat with one incomplete input. Check the answer against the review criteria, remove unsupported claims and save the prompt with its source version. This workflow has not been verified in a customer deployment.
