Google’s Gemini now taps your Gmail and Google Drive to build Docs, Sheets, and Slides: Here’s how it works

Google has rolled out a significant batch of Gemini updates across its Workspace suite, letting the AI pull context from your emails, files, and chats to generate first drafts, build spreadsheets, and design presentations—without you switching tabs or copying anything manually. The features began rolling out on March 10 in beta, first for Google AI Ultra and Pro subscribers, as well as Gemini Alpha business customers, in English only.

The headline change is a new “Help me create” tool in Docs. Describe what you need—say, a newsletter based on your January HOA meeting notes—and Gemini will pull relevant content from Gmail, Drive, and Google Chat to produce a formatted first draft.
