Google has rolled out an exciting new tool for Docs that utilizes the Gemini AI model to help users create formatted documents.
Ease of Document Creation
As posted on the company's support pages (via Gadgets360), this feature allows you to request Docs to produce a variety of documents such as proposals, project trackers, document ideas, blog posts, press releases, campaign briefs, dinner party menus, newsletters, itineraries, and even more.
To get started, users can simply click on "help me create" and provide a brief description of what they need. It is important to include at least one existing document by typing "@filename" for Gemini to generate content effectively.
Availability and Limitations
Currently, this feature is exclusively available in Google Workspace Alpha and the initial testing phase known as Google Workspace Labs. Google has indicated that they are gradually making this feature available, but it's presently limited to desktop users and can only be used in new documents.
However, there are certain restrictions. Google has pointed out that it cannot "incorporate web search results or content from your Workspace files," nor can it "generate cover or inline images of people." Additionally, it is restricted to "content extraction" from files and is unable to replicate the "structure or style" of those documents.
