We are giving users more control over "Take notes for me" in Google Meet with new customization options and an improved Decisions section.

“Take notes for me” recently introduced customizations for meeting artifacts, such as the option to set your preferred level of detail for your notes. Now, users can tailor their notes to be more actionable and easier to digest by choosing exactly which sections they want to include.

Toggle which sections are enabled in-call.
Updates include:

  • Customizable notes sections: Users can now toggle specific sections on or off via the in-call menu, including Summary, Decisions, Next steps, and Details. These changes only affect your current meeting and will not impact your default view for future calls.
  • New “Decisions” section: This section explicitly captures outcomes and tracks their status, such as Aligned, Needs further discussion, Disagreed, or Shelved. Note that the Decisions section will initially be available in English only.
  • Improved summary: The summary section has been improved to be more concise and scannable, allowing you to quickly catch up on key points.

Today we’re announcing the release of several enhancements to deepen the security investigation capabilities of the Workspace audit log, including expanded fields across many data sources.

These new enhancements include:

  1. Introduction of owner details for resource attribute
  2. Expansion of resource and actor attributes to additional data sources
  3. Introduction of new device info attribute for multiple data sources

New owner details for enhanced resource visibility in Security Investigation Tool and Audit logs

We’re adding a new “Owner details” field to the “Resources” attribute, making it easier to identify who owns a resource during security investigations. This field uses two primary components:

  • Owner Type: Specifies the category of the owner, which can be an individual person (User), the entire organization (Customer), or a Group.
  • Owner Identity: Contains specific details, such as IDs or email addresses, of that owner.


It will be available for all data sources wherever the resource field is present: Directory sync, Gmail, Meet, Groups, Keep, Looker Studio, Drive, Meet hardware, Chat, Admin, Data migration, Chrome, Voice, Calendar, Vault, Assignments and Groups enterprise log events.

Expanded coverage for resources and actor application info in Security Investigation tool / Audit and Investigation tool

To ensure you have a complete view across various Workspace services, we are expanding two critical attributes to additional log events:

  • Resources: Expanding to Chrome, Voice, Vault, and Assignment log events
  • Actor application info: Expanding to Chrome, Voice, Group, Meet, Assignments, and Admin data action log events

Comprehensive device information in Security Investigation tool / Audit and Investigation tool, Admin SDK (Reports API), SecOps, and BigQuery

Administrators can now gain crucial context about the devices used to perform actions. We are introducing the User device info attribute, which provides details such as User device ID, User device OS version, or User device type (e.g., DESKTOP_MAC, DESKTOP_WINDOWS).

This information is available for many log sources, including: Contact, Gemini workspace, Keep, Meet hardware, Chat, Chrome, Directory sync, Drive, Group, Meet, Rule, Looker studio and SAML log events.

Last year, we announced that educators can use NotebookLM to create teacher-led AI experiences for students in Google Classroom, based on their class materials. Since then, students have been able to access their teachers’ interactive study guides and other learning aids created with NotebookLM for extra practice, support, and learning opportunities. Today, we’re allowing students in higher education who are 18 years of age and older to create their own notebooks for courses in Google Classroom.

From the Gemini tab in Google Classroom, students can use NotebookLM to create a personal class notebook that is grounded in the materials provided by their educator. Personal class notebooks can transform how students interact with these class resources, unlocking new ways to build understanding by converting class materials into interactive and multi-modal study tools. This can help students with:

  • Creating custom study tools: Students can use the "Studio" panel within their notebook to generate various high-value outputs, including Audio Overviews (podcast-style summaries), Video Overviews, study guides, flashcards, and interactive visual diagrams.
  • Summarizing and synthesizing: Students can quickly synthesize information across up to 50 source documents per notebook, making it easier to prepare for exams or catch up on missed lessons.
  • Direct-to-student support: By using the Gemini tab directly in Classroom, students can ask questions and get grounded answers based strictly on their class content, ensuring help is relevant and reliable.
  • Enhanced creativity: Students can go beyond text by creating infographics, slide decks, and other visual aids to help them internalize and present what they’ve learned.
This feature will roll out on the web first, with mobile following in the coming weeks.

Gemini can now transform your ideas, using conversational prompts, directly into thoughtfully formatted files, such as Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides, PDFs and more, directly in your chats with Gemini. This feature bridges the gap between brainstorming and ready-to-share files, allowing you to generate functional and downloadable documents without ever leaving the Gemini app.

This update helps users do their best work by reducing the effort of copying, pasting, and formatting text into different applications. Whether you need to export a project plan to a Microsoft Excel (.xlsx) file or a complete course syllabus to Microsoft Word (.docx), you can now move from an idea to a polished file with a single prompt. Head to gemini.google.com and simply explain the file you need.

Supported file formats include:

  • Google Workspace files (Docs, Sheets, and Slides)
  • PDF file
  • Microsoft Word (.docx)
  • Microsoft Excel (.xlsx)
  • CSV file (.csv)
  • LaTeX (.tex)
  • Plain Text (.txt)

In March, we announced a beta for AI Overviews in Drive. This feature is now generally available and has started rolling out to eligible Google Workspace and Google AI plans.

Instead of searching through endless files and opening dozens of tabs to find the information you need, you can now get instant answers right at the top of your search results. Gemini does the heavy lifting for you, scanning your documents to provide clear, reliable summaries.

Here is how it helps you work smarter:

  • See the big picture: Get a quick summary of information pulled from multiple files without needing to open each one.
  • Ask naturally: There’s no need to use complicated search tricks. Just ask a question as you would to a colleague, like "What’s in our Spring 2026 catalog?"
  • Get the right answer: Gemini automatically understands what you’re looking for, whether it’s a quick fact, a project summary, or a list of specific documents, and adjusts its response to match.

In March, we announced a beta for Ask Gemini in Drive. This feature is now generally available and has started rolling out to eligible Google Workspace and Google AI plans.

Google Drive isn’t just a place to store your work, it’s now the place to understand it. We’ve reimagined the experience with Gemini now offering a dedicated, immersive workspace designed for deep focus. You can now engage in high-context, multi-turn conversations to efficiently explore and understand content across Drive, Workspace apps, and the web.

Whether you are synthesizing years of client proposals or uncovering hidden customer trends, Ask Gemini in Drive provides a holistic view of your entire body of work.

Key features include:

  • Dedicated conversations: Engage in focused discussions about specific sets of files and folders. By grounding your questions in the relevant content, you get more precise, actionable answers.
  • Drive projects: Organize your work more effectively with Drive projects. This new feature in Drive allows you to curate related files and folders into a central, always up-to-date, and shared knowledge base, making it easier to manage complex workflows and keep your team aligned.
  • Persistent conversation history: Easily pick up where you left off. Your past chats are saved, allowing you to quickly revisit previous insights about specific folders or projects without starting over.
  • Secure and compliant: Ask Gemini in Drive and projects are built directly into the Drive architecture, it never copies or replicates your files. It honors your existing data protection and security controls, including access permissions, DLP policies, and IRM, ensuring Gemini only accesses content you are authorized to see.

Find and understand information across your Drive files, Workspace apps, and the entire internet

With this launch, we’re also expanding language support. Ask Gemini in Drive will roll out to all 29 languages currently supported in the Gemini side panel over the coming weeks (see the Rollout pace section below for more details).

We're introducing Fill with Gemini in Google Sheets, a new AI-powered feature designed to make data preparation and manual entry even easier. Fill with Gemini infers your intent, allowing you to populate data 9x faster than manual entry for 100-cell tasks.*

Whether you need to extract information from the web or categorize existing data, Fill with Gemini handles the heavy lifting, eliminating the need for complex formulas. For example, a marketing team can use it to automatically generate suggested responses based on customer feedback messages, or a small business owner could use it to quickly fill out product details just by describing what they need.

Fill with Gemini offers two ways to enrich your data, saving you time and effort:

  • Drag-and-drop: If your column has at least one completed cell, you can use a new drag entry point to fill the column based on the context of the table.
  • Prompt-based filling: For empty multi-cell selections, you can use a one-click entry point to "Fill" the range. You can either automatically fill cells when a column has at least one completed cell or write a custom prompt to fit your specific needs.


*Data based on a 95-participant study comparing manual entry against Fill with Gemini on a 100-cell task.

We’re excited to introduce new Gemini in Sheets capabilities that enable you to build and edit entire spreadsheets using simple natural language.

Whether you need a quick view of your small business's financial health or a complex project tracker, Gemini in Sheets orchestrates the multi-step construction from start to finish. Workspace Intelligence synthesizes data across your files, emails, chats, and the web to help you visualize your data with stylized tables, formulas, pivot tables, and charts.

Gemini in Sheets can handle complex, multi-step tasks that previously required expert-level knowledge of Sheets. For example, you can ask Gemini to do end-to-end creation to "build a P&L dashboard leveraging my historic service incidents and rate cards," or do side-by-side editing to “add scorecards and bar charts above my sales and inventory data”. Gemini will synthesize relevant information, construct a plan for your approval, and then build out the entire formatted spreadsheet.

Key capabilities include:

  • End-to-end creation: Build entire spreadsheets from a single prompt, including data retrieval and formatting. 
  • Side-by-side editing: Refine and update existing models, budgets, or analysis directly in the side panel.
  • Workspace Intelligence: Automatically pull context and data from other Workspace apps to ensure your spreadsheet is accurate and relevant.
  • Advanced task fulfillment: Leverages Sheets’ most powerful tools, like pivot tables and complex formulas, without requiring manual configuration.
  • Advanced optimization: Handle complex optimization problems that typically require complex manual formulas or third-party tools. Powered by research from Google DeepMind and Google Research OR-Tools. 
  • State-of-the-art performance: Gemini in Sheets achieved a 70.48% success rate in autonomously manipulating complex, real-world spreadsheets on the full SpreadsheetBench dataset, nearing human expert ability.



Note: This feature is currently available in the US in English only.

Getting started

Note: Through July 15, 2026, Workspace customers will get promotional access to higher limits for the improved Gemini in Sheets experience, allowing users to experiment with this feature.

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.

Today, we announced Workspace Intelligence, an underlying AI system that provides Gemini with a real-time understanding of your work across Google Workspace. With Workspace Intelligence, all of your generative AI tasks within Workspace will be grounded in your Workspace data across Gmail, Chat, Calendar, and Drive (including Docs, Sheets, and Slides), eliminating the need for users to manually provide context to Gemini on every query.

As an administrator, you can control which data sources Workspace Intelligence can use for your organization via new settings in the Admin console.


Impact of disabling data sources

If you turn off Workspace Intelligence for a data source, generative AI features will not actively search for content from the disabled source. However, if a user adds a specific source to their prompt, that source will be used in Gemini's response. For example, if you turn off Drive as a source, users can still ask Gemini about specific files. Gemini will consult these specific files, but it won't actively search for other files. We recommend keeping access to all data sources ON to ensure optimal performance of AI features across Workspace.

Strong privacy protections

These changes align to our existing data handling practices and privacy commitments. AI features respect user-level content access, ensuring that responses are grounded only in content that a user already has permission to view. Your data is never used to train generative AI models or for advertising purposes.

In December 2025, we introduced Connect room to organizations on the Rapid Release track enrolled in Early Preview Rooms. We’re excited to announce that this feature is now rolling out to all Workspace customers with Google Meet hardware. This feature allows users to start or join meetings from their personal devices without the need to manually type in a meeting code. It is especially useful for impromptu or private meetings.

By using ultrasound proximity detection, your personal device identifies a nearby Google Meet hardware system and prompts you to connect instantly. This launch includes several enhancements to ensure a frictionless experience in modern office environments:

  • Room disambiguation: In areas with multiple nearby conference rooms, users will be prompted to select the specific room they are in, ensuring the meeting starts on the correct hardware.
  • In-room UI instructions: When a user attempts to join a meeting via manual code entry on a touch screen, the device will now display instructions on how to use "Connect room" for a faster, simpler experience. If your organization has “Book now” enabled, there will also be brief instructions there.

Getting started

  • Admins: This feature relies on the proximity detection device setting, which is ON by default. To ensure "Connect room" works across your fleet, verify that Proximity Detection is enabled in the Admin console. In-room booking must also be enabled for "Connect room" to automatically book the room when a user joins a call.
  • End users: This feature is ON by default. To use it, ensure your laptop microphone is active when entering the meeting "greenroom," then click "Connect room" when the prompt appears. Visit the Help Center to learn more about using the Connect room feature.

Rollout pace

Note: This feature has been a part of our EPR program since December 2025. Please note that in preparation for the full launch, early preview users will lose access to this feature temporarily starting on April 8, 2026, until launch is complete.
