Before we begin with the new features, it is important to mention that the Gemini-powered side panel is only available to paid Workspace users. That said, the tool will utilize the Gemini 1.5 Pro model, which has a longer context window and can handle more advanced reasoning.

In Google Docs, Gemini can help users write and refine their content, along with features like summarization, brainstorming ideas, and creating content based on the document.

Similarly, on Slides, users can create new slides and custom images and summarize presentations using the side panel. In Sheets, users can track/organize data, quickly create tables, generate formulas, and ask how to do specific tasks, like format cells or add formulas, directly from Gemini using the side panel.

Gmail’s side panel can help users curate customized emails, change their tone, and suggest responses. Last but not least, Gemini in Google Drive will help users summarize one or multiple documents, obtain facts about a project, or deep-dive into something without going through numerous documents to find information.
