Google Workspace Changes

Gems, custom AI experts, are now available directly in the side panel of Google Slides, allowing users to leverage customized AI assistance without switching applications.

Gems, which are custom AI experts designed to help complete specific goals, tasks, and workflows, are now integrated directly into the side panel of Google Slides. This integration allows users to utilize both custom and pre-made Gems, such as a writing editor or sales pitch ideator, within the Google Slides application. The feature aims to enhance efficiency by minimizing repetitive prompting and enabling tailored AI assistance for various tasks like creating content, generating sales interactions, or reviewing documents, all without needing to navigate away from the current application.
