Gemini in Google Docs: Create Formatted Documents from Scratch
Google Docs expands Gemini's capabilities with "Help me create," empowering users to generate formatted documents, including illustrations and cover images, directly within Docs. This feature leverages existing Drive files for context, enhancing content creation.
Use Cases
- Content plans with recipes and nutritional information
- Professional daily sync documents for teams
- Fun Friday memos with emojis and jokes
- Financial report templates
- Detailed babysitter instructions
Users can create various document types, from proposals and project trackers to blog posts, press releases, and even personalized content like family newsletters and vacation itineraries. For optimal results, Google recommends specifying the audience, purpose, and goals within the prompt.
Access and Related Features
Access "Help me create" via File > New > Help me create (if available in your Workspace Labs). This complements other Gemini features like list creation in Keep, form creation in Forms, and organization in Sheets. Google Docs is also testing the "@Summary" building block.
