Google has expanded the capabilities of its AI assistant Gemini across Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Drive. The tool has become more personalized and collaborative.
“When you select sources, Gemini can extract relevant information from your files, emails, and the internet to highlight useful ideas while ensuring data security,” the company blog states.
Gemini in Docs
In Docs, the neural network now better understands context and offers new features for creating texts in a specified style. Users simply describe the task in the side or bottom panel.
For example:
“Draft a newsletter for our district association using the January meeting minutes and the list of upcoming events.”
After generation, the AI can be asked to refine specific sections or expand on ideas. According to developers, text can be edited en masse—just highlight the desired fragment and give a command like “make this file more professional but keep an energetic tone.”
Gemini in Sheets
In spreadsheets, the AI can create structure, format information, and conduct complex analysis.
Example request:
“Organize my upcoming move to Chicago. Create a packing checklist by room, a list of utility contacts, and a table to track offers from moving companies from emails.”
With Gemini, missing data in a table can be filled. LLM instantly generates text, classifies and summarizes data, or provides access to real-time information from Google Search.
Gemini in Slides
In the presentation service, AI can create professional layouts and fully editable charts from scratch.
Users can now ask Gemini to create a new slide in strict accordance with the overall project style, utilizing context from external files, emails, and the web.
If the visual design is not quite right, the AI can assist with editing.
Gemini in Drive
The cloud storage now includes a quick search and information analysis feature.
When searching in Drive using natural language, the neural network provides an AI Overview—a summary of the most relevant information from files.
Another new feature is Ask Gemini in Drive. It allows users to ask complex questions about documents, emails, calendars, and internet data.
Back in February, Google released Nano Banana 2—a new model for visual generation operating at Gemini Flash speed.
