Google Docs is tapping into Gemini to whip up formatted documents ...
Google is currently testing a new feature in Google Docs called "Help me create," which is powered by Gemini. This feature allows users to generate formatted documents directly from their Google Workspace files. By simply typing "@" followed by the file name, users can instantly access their Drive files and create new documents seamlessly.
According to Google Docs' support page, the "Help me create" feature is a Gemini-powered tool that leverages AI capabilities to assist users in creating various types of documents, ranging from proposals and project trackers to dinner menus, vacation plans, blog posts, and more.
When using the "Help me create" tool, users can provide context such as audience, purpose, or goals, allowing Gemini AI to fine-tune templates accordingly to meet the user's specific needs.
Enhancing Productivity with Gemini AI
The "Help me create" feature is complemented by the "Help me write" tool, giving users the ability to edit text or create entirely new content effortlessly. This innovative functionality helps users streamline the document creation process and boost productivity within Google Docs.
While the "Help me create" feature can draw content from various Workspace files, it currently does not retain the original layout or style, nor does it support the generation of inline or cover images of people. To achieve optimal results, users are advised to use natural, conversational language when interacting with the tool.
Accessing the "Help me create" Feature
Users can easily access the "Help me create" feature within Google Docs by looking for the prompt located at the top of the interface, alongside other standard options such as meeting notes, cover images, and polls. Alternatively, users can find the feature under the "File" menu by selecting "New" and choosing the document type they wish to create.
It's important to note that the "Help me create" feature is currently available exclusively on the web and is limited to users participating in the Gemini for Google Workspace Alpha and Workspace Labs programs. The feature is gradually being rolled out and is specifically designed for new, blank documents.
