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

Gemini in Workspace
“Today, we’re reimagining how people create content, transforming Gemini in Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Drive into a collaborative partner that works with you throughout the creative process. With insights from your emails, chats, files, and more, Gemini helps you draft, iterate, and perfect your work,” said a Google blog post announcing the launch.
Among the new additions is a new Help Me Create experience in Docs, available in the sidebar or a new bottom bar, which allows users to describe what they want to create, and Gemini will bring in information from your Drive, Gmail, Chat, and the web to generate a first draft.
This initial output can then be edited or tightened up with the existing Help Me Writing tool, adding extra 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 accessed documents.
In Sheets, Gemini can now build and edit entire spreadsheets from a single natural language prompt, such as developing a financial summary sheet using information from existing documents and presentations. The new Fill with Gemini tool can auto-fill using summarized, categorized or brand new data from your existing sheet or the web much faster than manual entry.
Gemini can also generate, build and edit a full presentation package from scratch, again using only a simple prompt before searching through your Workspace data for what’s needed.
Finally, Gemini will now help create AI lists when you search Google Drive, looking through all the necessary files and formats to provide a list of what it thinks will be the most relevant results for your needs.
The new Gemini features are now rolling out in beta, with Google AI Ultra and Pro subscribers the first to get access. It will be available in English globally for Google Docs, Sheets and Slides and in the US for Google Drive.
