Research across many sources

Some questions can't be answered by a single lookup. You need to gather what several sources say, weigh them against each other, and pull the threads together. This is exactly the kind of multi-step work a Cowork working session is built for.

When you hand Cowork a research task, it doesn't fire off one query and stop. Using Web search, it can plan the research and then fan out across many searches — chasing sub-questions, following leads, and revisiting angles it missed the first time. And it isn't limited to the open web: if you've set up Connectors, it can pull from your connected sources too — Gmail, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slack — so your own material sits alongside what it finds online.
