Google is rolling out Gemini AI integration across Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Drive, offering advanced AI-powered assistance for various tasks directly within these productivity tools.
Google Workspace customers paying for a Gemini Business and Enterprise, Education, or Education Premium add-on, as well as Google One AI Premium subscribers will be able to leverage a Gemini side panel in several Google Workspace apps: Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drive, and Gmail, meaning users can get more done with the assistance of Gemini 1.5 Pro without leaving the app in which they are working.
Gemini Side Panel Features:
- Email thread summaries
- Response suggestions
- Assistance in drafting email messages
- Responses that unearth specific information from Gmail emails or Drive files
Gemini will proactively suggest useful prompts, but will also take freeform questions. In addition, the Gmail mobile app for iOS and Android also supports displaying email thread summaries, with additional mobile-specific Gemini features coming soon.
Similarly, the Gemini side panel for the Google Workspace apps enables users to harness Gemini's advanced reasoning capabilities and longer context window to perform several tasks.
