Workspace has introduced a feature to generate documents from data in your emails.

Google has announced new Gemini-powered features for Workspace apps, integrating its AI model into Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Drive. These features allow Gemini to create drafts using information from emails, chats, and files. To use these features, users must prompt Gemini to fetch this information from their Gmail, Drive, or Chat. Google has provided a prompt example: “draft a newsletter for our neighborhood using meeting minutes and events.” Users can specify sources for Gemini and view which documents were used to generate the drafts.
Key features:
– **Google Docs:** Users can highlight and refine document sections. Gemini alters sections to match the rest of the document’s tone and style.
– **Google Sheets:** Gemini creates spreadsheets based on prompts, pulling data from emails and chats.
– **Google Slides:** While full slide deck creation isn’t available yet, users can generate individual slides using data from Gmail and Drive.
– **Google Drive:** AI Overview summarizes file information relevant to searches. The “Ask Gemini in Drive” feature allows users to inquire about selected files.
Google’s new Gemini features will start beta rollout, available first to AI Ultra and Pro subscribers worldwide, excluding some Drive features, which are U.S. only.
