Google announced<\/a> on Tuesday that it\u2019s bringing a slew of new Gemini-powered AI capabilities to Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Drive. The new features let users do things like quickly generate fully formatted first drafts, slides, and sheets based on information from their Gmail, Chat, and Drive. <\/p>\n

The tools are designed to make the apps more personal and capable of helping users get things done faster, right within the platforms themselves, instead of needing to switch to a separate tool or chatbot.<\/p>\n

A new \u201cHelp me create\u201d tool in Docs lets users describe what they want to create, and Gemini will follow their instructions and gather information from Drive, Gmail, and Chat to generate a first draft. For example, you can ask Gemini to \u201cdraft a newsletter for our neighborhood association using the meeting minutes from my January HOA meeting and the list of upcoming events.\u201d<\/p>\n

Once you have a first draft, Gemini can help refine specific sections without regenerating the entire document. You can also use the \u201cHelp me write\u201d tool to do things like improve clarity or add details where needed.<\/p>\n

Additionally, if you have multiple people working on a draft with differing voices and tones, you can now use a new \u201cMatch writing style\u201d feature to help unify the documents. Gemini will suggest edits to make the tone and voice consistent throughout the draft.<\/p>\n

Docs is also getting a new \u201cMatch the format\u201d tool that lets you mirror the structure and style of another document. For example, if you find a travel itinerary template you like, Gemini can fill it in with your own trip details by pulling information from your emails, such as flight confirmations, hotel bookings, and rental car reservations.<\/p>\n

As for Sheets, Gemini is evolving from a tool you work in to a collaborative partner, Google says. With a single prompt, it will pull relevant data from across your Gmail, Chat, and Drive to quickly create a fully formatted spreadsheet.<\/p>\n

For example, you could ask it to \u201corganize my upcoming move to Chicago. Create a checklist for packing by room, a contact list for utilities, and a spreadsheet to track moving company quotes from my inbox.\u201d<\/p>\n

For more complex tasks, you can now use a \u201cFill with Gemini\u201d tool to populate tables even faster. The feature can instantly generate custom text, categorize and summarize data, or pull in real-time information from Google Search.<\/p>\n

For instance, if you\u2019re managing your college applications, you might have a tracker for all your application details. Instead of manually looking up each school\u2019s deadlines, tuition, and other information, you can set up column headers for the details you need, then let Gemini fill in the table automatically by pulling relevant information from the web.<\/p>\n

Over on Sheets, you can now have Gemini generate a fully editable slide in your deck that matches your overall theme, drawing on context from your files, emails, and the web. If you don\u2019t like a slide, you can ask Gemini to adjust it by asking it to do things like \u201cmatch the colors to the rest of my deck\u201d or \u201cmake this more minimal.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the future, Google says Slides will let you create a complete presentation from a single prompt, using relevant context when needed. For instance, you will be able to ask Gemini to \u201ccreate a 5-slide deck for my upcoming Tokyo trip.\u201d<\/p>\n

Google also announced that it\u2019s making Drive no longer just a place to store your files, but more of an active collaborator. Now, when you search in Drive using natural language, Gemini will surface an \u201cAI Overview\u201d at the top of your results, like the ones you see on Google Search.\u00a0The overview summarizes the most relevant information from your files, while citing its sources, so you don\u2019t need to open a document to find what you\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n

A new \u201cAsk Gemini in Drive\u201d feature lets you ask complex questions across your documents, emails, calendar, and the web. For example, you could select all of your tax-related files and ask, \u201cWhat should I ask my tax advisor before filing this year\u2019s taxes?\u201d and get a detailed answer based on your actual data.<\/p>\n

All the new features are rolling out today in beta and will first be available to Google AI Ultra and Pro subscribers. They\u2019re available in English worldwide for Docs, Sheets, and Slides, and in the U.S. for Drive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Google announced on Tuesday that it\u2019s bringing a slew of new Gemini-powered AI capabilities to Docs, Sheets, Slides,…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":645807,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[7],"tags":[39852,2722,180818,1874,209401,274539,158,67,132,68],"class_list":["post-645806","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-gemini","tag-google","tag-google-docs","tag-google-drive","tag-google-sheets","tag-google-slides","tag-technology","tag-united-states","tag-unitedstates","tag-us"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116205524493255787","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/645806","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=645806"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/645806\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/645807"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=645806"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=645806"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=645806"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
