Market and competitor research just got a glow-up. Instead of manually hopping between websites, comparing pricing tables, or copy-pasting features into spreadsheets, imagine handing it all off to an AI assistant who never gets tired. Yep, that’s what Gemini 2.5’s Computer Use agent can do—and it takes just a few minutes to set up.
From Manual Browsing to AI-Powered Insights
Research used to mean late nights, browser tabs galore, and lots of scrolling. But with Gemini’s Computer Use agent, you can assign research tasks to an AI that does all the browsing, extracting, and compiling for you. Using browser automation and Gemini’s large language model, the tool navigates real websites like a human—but much faster. Want to compare pricing across the top five CRM platforms? Need feature breakdowns or user sentiment before a big product launch? Gemini can handle it—all while you sip your coffee.
