How to Use Gemini in Google Docs

About this video

Tutorial on using Gemini inside Google Docs to write, analyze and assemble documents from multiple sources. Individuals need a Gemini AI Pro or Ultra subscription; Workspace users need their administrator to enable the features. There are three access points: the Gemini side panel, the bottom Gemini bar, and the Gemini menu in the menu bar. In the side panel you can summarize, ask questions and analyze a document, controlling sources via search settings — your Drive documents, email messages and chat conversations can be enabled or disabled, and public web searching is a separate toggle. Examples include comparing an employee manual to a social media manual found on Drive, comparing selected text to modern manuals on the web, and pasting a job listing to get feedback on how a resume fits it. From a blank document, Gemini can draft content matching the format, fonts, colors and layout of an existing document — demonstrated by generating an onboarding checklist sourced from HR documents and recent emails, with a source list shown. Images can be generated via the tools menu’s create images option, which uses the Nano Banana model, then inserted at the cursor. The bottom bar and the floating refine option rewrite selected text with rephrasing or tone changes; edits are previewed and can be accepted or rejected line by line or all at once. The menu also offers listening to a document or its summary in a synthesized voice. Similar tools appear in Google Sheets, Google Slides and Gmail.
