Getting the most out of information from all your Google Workspace apps should soon get a lot easier thanks to a major Gemini upgrade.
The AI tool will now be able to search Google Docs, Sheets, Slide, and Drive to find the details you need, saving hours of searching through your files and conquering what the company calls “the fear of the blinking cursor.”

Gemini in the workspace
“Today, we’re reinventing the way people create content, turning Gemini in Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Drive into a collaborative partner that works alongside you throughout the creation process. With insights from your emails, chats, files, and more, Gemini helps you write, iterate, and perfect your work,” says a Google blog post announcing the launch.
New additions include a new Help Me Build experience in Docs, available in the side panel or a new bottom bar, that will allow users to outline what they want to create, and Gemini will import information from your Drive, Gmail, Chat, and the web to generate a first draft.
This initial output can then be edited or enhanced with the existing Help me write tool, adding further polish or a more focused tone, which can also be helped by Gemini’s ability to match the format or tone of your most used or viewed documents.
In Sheets, Gemini can now create and edit entire spreadsheets from a single natural language prompt, such as expanding a financial summary sheet using information from existing documents and presentations. The new Fill with Gemini tool can auto-populate using summarized, categorized, or new data from your existing sheet or the web much faster than manual entry.
Gemini can also generate, create and edit an entire presentation from scratch, again using only a simple prompt, before searching your workspace data for what is needed.
Finally, Gemini will now help you create AI previews when you search Google Drive, going through all the necessary files and formats to provide a list of what it thinks are the most relevant results for your needs.
The new Gemini features are now rolling out in beta, with Google AI Ultra and Pro subscribers being the first to access them. It will be available in English worldwide for Google Docs, Sheets and Slides, and in the United States for Google Drive.
