Google Slides Gemini: Updates and Features for Improved Productivity

New Gemini Updates for Workspace Users

Google has released a pair of Gemini updates for Workspace users, enhancing the features of Gmail Q&A and Imagen 3. These updates aim to improve productivity and collaboration within Google Workspace.

Gmail Q&A Enhancements

Gmail Q&A allows users to ask questions about their emails and receive instant answers. The feature is now more powerful, as it can quickly insert responses or content received after asking Gemini a question directly into an email draft. This eliminates the need for users to manually type out answers.

Here’s how it works:

* Users can ask questions and receive instant answers.
* They can insert these answers into their email draft.
* A quick reply and edit feature are also available, allowing users to refine their answers and send the email.

This update has widely rolled out, and users can enjoy the improved Q&A functionality across their Gmail mobile apps on Android and iOS devices.

Imagen 3 Generation for People

Google has also upgraded Imagen 3 to generate people within Gemini. This feature is available across various platforms, including:

* Gemini app
* Gemini Advanced
* Side panel of Google Docs, Sheets, Drive, Slides, and Gmail
* Help me create in Google Docs
* Help me visualize in Slides
* Help me create in Vids

The “rollout for generating images with people” is complete for all Gemini instances, except for the Gemini app, which is expected to be available by March 1.

In 2024, Gemini added people generation capability at gemini.google.com, providing richer details and textures. With the latest update, Imagen 3 offers even greater accuracy in following users’ instructions.
