  # Step 3: Gemini analysis of search results
  - name: gemini_analysis
    tool: gemini_analyze_text
    loadFiles: ["perplexity_research", "grok_search"]
    input:
      text: |
        Analyze these research findings:

        PERPLEXITY RESEARCH:
        ${perplexity_data}

        GROK SEARCH:
        ${grok_data}

        Provide:
        1. Key themes and patterns
        2. Temporal context (what's current vs outdated)
        3. Source reliability assessment
        4. Contradictions or conflicts

        Synthesize these comprehensive research findings into a coherent analysis:

        WEB RESEARCH (Perplexity):
        ${perplexity_data}

        LIVE SEARCH (Grok):
        ${grok_data}

        ANALYSIS (Gemini):
        ${gemini_analysis_result}

        TECHNICAL ANALYSIS (Qwen):
        ${qwen_analysis_result}

        Provide:
        1. Core findings that appear across multiple sources
        2. Unique insights from each source
        3. Contradictions or disagreements between sources
        4. Confidence levels for different claims
        5. Actionable recommendations based on the synthesis
