Google integrates Gemini into Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Drive
On Tuesday, Google announced a range of new Gemini-powered AI features for Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Drive. These capabilities allow users to quickly generate fully formatted drafts, slides, and spreadsheets by pulling information from their Gmail, Chat, and Drive accounts.
These tools aim to make each app more intuitive and help users accomplish tasks faster without leaving the platform, eliminating the need to switch to a separate tool or chatbot.
A new “Help me create” feature in Docs lets users describe what they want, and Gemini follows those instructions, gathering relevant data from Drive, Gmail, and Chat to produce a first draft. For instance, you could ask Gemini to “draft a newsletter for our neighborhood association using the meeting minutes from my January HOA meeting and the list of upcoming events.”
Once a draft is ready, Gemini can refine specific sections without regenerating the entire document. The “Help me write” tool also allows you to improve clarity or add details where needed.
For collaborative drafts with varying voices and tones, a new “Match writing style” feature helps unify the document. Gemini suggests edits to ensure consistent tone and voice throughout the text.
Docs also introduces a “Match the format” tool, which mirrors the structure and style of another document. For example, if you find a travel itinerary template you like, Gemini can populate it with your own trip details by extracting information from emails such as flight confirmations, hotel bookings, and rental car reservations.

In Sheets, Gemini is evolving from a simple tool into a collaborative partner, according to Google. With a single prompt, it pulls relevant data from Gmail, Chat, and Drive to create a fully formatted spreadsheet.

Google also announced that Drive is no longer just a file storage location but an active collaborator. When you search in Drive using natural language, Gemini now displays an “AI Overview” at the top of results, similar to Google Search. This overview summarizes the most relevant information from your files, citing sources, so you don’t need to open a document to find what you need.
A new “Ask Gemini in Drive” feature lets you pose complex questions across documents, emails, calendar, and the web. For example, you could select all your tax-related files and ask, “What should I ask my tax advisor before filing this year’s taxes?” and receive a detailed answer based on your actual data.
All new features are rolling out today in beta and will be available first to Google AI Ultra and Pro subscribers. They are available in English worldwide for Docs, Sheets, and Slides, and in the U.S. for Drive.
