Gemini AI is being added by Google to a few more locations on its various goods and services. The business declared that the Workspace apps—Docs, Slides, Sheets, Drive, and Gmail—now have the Gemini AI side panel generally available.
You may summarize, evaluate, and create content with the aid of the generative AI chatbot that bears the name of a NASA space program. Depending on the software, it can analyze your documents, emails, and other data to extract insights. Stated differently, you can navigate between your work and the Gemini website without having to open and close tabs in your browser.
For example, Gemini in Google Docs may help you brainstorm, swiftly summarize lengthy documents to the essential parts, and produce content based on other files. The AI can produce original photos, condense presentations, and build new slides in Google Slides.
In a similar vein, Google Drive’s Gemini side panel has the ability to search for project details and summarize one or more documents. It can summarize email threads in Gmail, compose emails, and offer possible replies.
“The side panel will use Google’s most capable models including the Gemini 1.5 Pro model with a longer context window and more advanced reasoning, allowing you to harness the power of Gemini directly from your most used Google Workspace apps,” Google wrote on its blog.
Clicking the “Ask Gemini” spark button in the top-right corner of these apps will open a vertical panel where you can use Gemini. It provides a number of options to get you started, or you may input your own prompt directly into the text box. The AI offers suggestions for additional questions you can ask while producing a response.
The ‘eye’ button allows you to examine the chatbot’s responses in your document and utilize the thumb icons to provide feedback on its responses. Here, the business also cautions against relying only on the chatbot’s responses. This is significant since AI developed by Google occasionally makes headlines for strange reasons.
As part of Google’s major AI effort, Gemini will also be accessible to students in more than 100 countries, the company announced in a separate statement. The Android version for Gemini AI chatbot was recently released in the UK and Europe, and it now supports YouTube Music streaming.
