Earlier this year, we introduced new Gemini in Sheets capabilities that allow you to build and edit entire spreadsheets using simple natural language. We’re now expanding support for these features to 28 additional languages, enabling users who speak Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Italian, French, German, Chinese Simplified, Dutch, Hebrew, Polish, Turkish, Czech, Indonesian, Malay, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Arabic, Finnish, Vietnamese, Ukrainian, Greek, Thai, Romanian, Russian, Catalan, and Hungarian to collaborate natively with Gemini in their preferred language.

With this update, users can leverage the full functionality of Gemini to build and edit spreadsheets by issuing prompts in their native language. Whether users are updating budgets, building complex financial models, or conducting data analysis, Gemini leverages Sheets tools—such as tables, pivot tables, charts, and formulas—to execute tasks. This enables global teams to manage data more efficiently, automate workflow execution, and extract valuable cross-document insights without confronting language barriers.

We’re bringing the power of Google Meet to your vehicle's display with our new integration for Android Auto. This update makes it easy to safely stay connected and handle important meetings hands-free from behind the wheel.

Users can now access Google Meet directly from their car's dashboard. This integration ensures your productivity doesn't pause when you start your engine. From your vehicle's display, you can check your upcoming meeting schedule and join discussions with a single tap.

User interface showing upcoming meetings

You also have the flexibility to make and receive direct audio calls, with a convenient History tab that lets you quickly dial colleagues or clients without taking your eyes off the road.

User interface showing recent calls

Please note that when you join a meeting or call, your camera is turned off and you won’t see the incoming video content. You’ll hear the audio from the meeting and have audio input access from your microphone.

Getting started

  • Admins: There is no admin control for this feature.
  • End users: This feature is ON by default for users with the Google Meet app installed on their Android phone. To use it, simply connect your phone to an Android Auto-compatible vehicle. Visit the Help Center to learn more about using Meet on Android Auto.

We’re introducing two enhancements to the Calendar API that make it easier for admins to programmatically manage secondary calendars within their organization: a transfer API and a filter for secondary calendars owned by your organization.

Transfer API

As previously announced, the new endpoint in the Google Calendar API that allows administrators to programmatically transfer the ownership of secondary calendars is now being rolled out. Its functionality mirrors the data transfer feature currently available in the Admin console by permitting transfers between users in the same organization without sending emails or requiring confirmation from the recipient. Beyond replicating the Admin console functionality, the API provides greater flexibility by allowing administrators to transfer specific, individual secondary calendars.

Organization filter

To help organizations prepare for the upcoming secondary calendar data lifecycle changes, where secondary calendars will follow the lifecycle of their owner, administrators can now programmatically monitor the ownership status of their users' secondary calendars.

A new filtering option will be available in the CalendarList:list API method that restricts results to return only secondary calendars owned by the organization. When combined with the users.list method of the Admin SDK API, administrators can retrieve a comprehensive list of organization-owned secondary calendars across their users' calendar lists. The dataOwner field can then be used to verify current ownership status and make any necessary adjustments.

Educators have shared that AI is especially helpful when it understands the context of their teaching environment, from tailoring resources toward student needs or building on their existing materials. To support this, Gemini will be able to collaborate with your Google Classroom, using context from your classes to inform its outputs or help complete tasks. For example, educators can get insights on student progress and understanding, create resources and differentiated materials based on Classroom context, or get help drafting posts and assignments.

Students 18 and older can similarly use the Classroom app to stay organized across classes – from getting a list of upcoming assignments, creating study plans, doing test practice based on Classroom content, and staying up-to-date on the latest announcements. Based on your prompts, Gemini will identify when context from Google Classroom will be relevant, and use it to inform its outputs. You can also explicitly tell Gemini to use information from your Google Classroom account by typing, “@Classroom” and clicking on the Classroom app when it pops up.



For example, educators can ask Gemini to:

  • Draft communications: Draft communications and posts based on your Google Classroom information.
  • Draft differentiated assignments and plans: Help draft and update assignments, and generate timelines and structured plans, based on information and content from your Google Classroom.
  • Understand student progress and take action: Summarize who has submitted assignments, how students have done on prior assignments, and identify where students might need additional teacher support.
  • Streamline administrative tasks: Update assignment titles, descriptions, and more across multiple classes in draft mode, make seating charts, and find old assignments.

Important notes

Gemini Apps can’t perform certain actions in the Google Classroom app, like:

  • Enter grades or provide private feedback directly
  • Delete, archive, or directly post assignments or announcements (it can post to draft)
  • Create rubrics
This feature will be available in English for users designated as over the age of 18 who are using a Google Workspace for Education or Business account in Classroom and Gemini. The Classroom app in Gemini does not currently support data regionalization and your usage data may be stored outside of your designated data region. Data region support for the Classroom app in Gemini is expected later this year.

Getting started

  • Admins: Access to the Classroom app in Gemini will be ON by default for all Education domains and can be disabled at the OU or group level. For all other domains, access will be OFF by default and can be enabled at the OU or group level. Access can be turned on or off with a new Classroom app setting in the Gemini section of the Admin console. Visit the Help Center to learn more about turning Google apps in Gemini on or off for your organization.

  • End users: Your admin configuration will determine if you can use the Classroom app in Gemini. Access to the Classroom app in Gemini will be ON by default and can be disabled at the end user level in the connected apps section of the Gemini app settings. Visit the Help Center to learn more about using apps connected to Gemini.

Google Calendar is expanding its event coloring options, moving beyond the current limitation of 11 predefined colors for events. Going forward, users are offered an expanded color palette so they can personalize events and visually organize their calendar with ease, giving each user access to up to 200 custom colors for individual events via both the native web and mobile apps as well as the Calendar API. This fulfills a long-standing feature request from both business and personal users for more customizable options.

Users will be able to select from 24 default colors. On Calendar on the web (or via API), users can define additional colors by using a full RGB color picker.
