Google has announced a wider rollout of Gemini powered features across Docs, Sheets, Slides and Drive. The update is designed to make Workspace apps more useful for writing, planning and organizing work without sending users to a separate chatbot.
The new tools let Gemini pull information from Gmail, Chat, Drive and the web to create content inside Google’s apps. Google says the goal is to help users move faster from a blank page, blank sheet or empty slide to a usable first draft.
In Google Docs, Gemini now adds a new Help me create tool. Users can describe the document they want, and Gemini will build a fully formatted draft using relevant files, emails and chats. Docs is also getting Match writing style to make tone more consistent across a shared draft, along with Match the format to copy the structure of another document.
Google Sheets is also getting a larger AI role. Gemini can now generate an entire spreadsheet from a single prompt. It can also use a Fill with Gemini feature to complete tables, summarize data, categorize information and pull live details from Google Search. Google says this can help with tasks such as organizing a move, tracking applications or building project sheets faster.
Slides is getting similar upgrades. Gemini can now generate a fully editable slide inside an existing presentation and match the overall theme of the deck. Users can then ask Gemini to revise the slide by changing colors, style or layout. Google says full presentation generation from one prompt is coming later.
Drive is also becoming more active. Natural language search in Drive will now show an AI Overview at the top of results. This summary highlights the most relevant information from files and includes source citations. A new Ask Gemini in Drive feature also lets users ask broader questions across documents, emails, calendar data and the web.
The features are rolling out in beta starting now. Google says they will first be available to Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers. Docs, Sheets and Slides features are launching in English worldwide, while the new Drive tools are initially limited to users in the United States.
