New Gemini capabilities in Google Docs help you go from blank page to brilliance
We’re reimagining the AI writing experience in Google Docs to help you move from a blank page to a finished document faster than ever. Google Docs is evolving from a traditional word processor into a collaborator that understands your organization’s context.
Reimagined Gemini experience in Docs
Google Docs now offers a centralized place to generate, write, and refine your documents with Gemini. Powered by Workspace Intelligence, Gemini leverages data across Drive, Gmail, Chat, and the web to provide personalized, context-aware assistance.
- The upgraded Help me create experience enables you to generate relevant, fully formatted first drafts that synthesize information from your files, emails, chat, and the web.
- With Help me write, simply prompt Gemini from the new bottom bar or side panel to make edits across your doc, or select text to focus Gemini’s attention. Gemini’s suggested edits are only visible to you until you approve them.
- Match writing style helps maintain a consistent tone and style across your entire doc, no matter how many people are working on it.
To generate new docs from scratch, open a new doc, enter your prompt, and click submit. To edit existing docs, simply hover over the spark near the bottom of your doc and type a prompt in the bottom bar.
Generate on-brand documents using your existing docs and templates
Looking to quickly populate a template or replicate the refined style of your favorite docs? With Match doc format, Gemini can now mirror a source document to generate content that adheres to the original's formatting (e.g., fonts and colors) and structural elements (e.g., headings and table columns).
Note that we’re launching these features in English first, with Spanish, Japanese, Brazilian Portuguese, French, German, Italian, and Korean support to follow soon after.
Getting started
- Admins: These features are available by default if Gemini for Workspace in Drive is enabled. Note that enabling Workspace Intelligence expands the range of supported use cases.
