We’ve all been there: the blinking cursor, the empty spreadsheet or the first blank slide. Whether you’re planning a trip, organizing an event or launching a side project, getting started is often the hardest part.

Today, we’re making Gemini in Docs, Sheets, Slides and Drive more personal, capable and collaborative to help you get things done, faster. When you select your sources, Gemini can now pull relevant information from your files, emails and the web to securely connect dots and uncover useful insights, while keeping your information safeguarded.

Go from a blank doc to a final draft

Gemini in Docs is your go-to writing partner. Using contextual information and new editing features, Gemini can now help you create personalized documents in your preferred style.

• Get to a first draft instantly: Simply describe what you want Gemini to create in the side panel or new bottom bar — like “draft a newsletter for our neighborhood association using the meeting minutes from my my January HOA meeting and the list of upcoming events” — to get a customized first draft that draws from your relevant files.
• Polish and perfect: Ask Gemini to refine sections, strengthen your message and build on your ideas. Highlight specific sections or edit your entire doc at once with a prompt like “make this doc more professional while keeping the tone energetic.”
• Match voice and format effortlessly: Use “Match writing style” to unify the voice and style across a document so it sounds like you. Or use “Match doc format” to automatically align to the style of a reference document. For example, if you find a travel itinerary template you love, Gemini in Docs can instantly populate it with your own travel details drawing from your emails such as your flight information, hotel details and rental car reservations.
