Google Workspace Changes

Skills in Google Workspace are rolling out across Workspace Studio and Workspace apps, letting teams create, test, share, and invoke reusable custom AI instructions in Gmail, Docs, Slides, Drive, and Chat.

Google Workspace is rolling out skills—reusable, custom instructions that guide Gemini to apply team rules, templates, and reference files—across Workspace Studio and Workspace apps. Users can build skills from scratch or templates in Workspace Studio, draft them in Google Docs, create and edit them in context within Gmail, Docs, Slides, Drive, and Chat, and invoke them automatically or via @mention. Skills can also trigger Workspace Studio flows. The rollout begins November 9, 2026 for Rapid Release domains and November 30, 2026 for Scheduled Release domains, with gradual visibility over up to 15 days for each track.
