Google is bringing a new Gemini AI side panel to Gmail that can help you compose emails and summarize email threads. The company is also adding the Gemini side panel to Docs, Sheets, Slides and Drive. The release of the new features comes shortly after Google announced them at its I/O developer conference last month, which focused heavily on the tech giant's new AI offerings.

With the new integration, you can use Gemini in Gmail to get help drafting an email or receive suggested replies to an email. In addition, you can ask questions and get specific information from emails in your inbox or your Google Drive files.

Google notes that while Gemini in Gmail will provide prompts to help you get started with your questions, you can also ask your own questions. For example, you could ask Gemini: “What was my agency's PO number?” Or, you might ask: “How much did the company spend on the last marketing event.”

These features are only available to Google Workspace users who have a Gemini Business or Enterprise add-on, a Gemini Education or Education Premium add-on, or a Google One AI Premium subscription.

In Docs, the Gemini side panel can help you write and improve your content, summarize information, and brainstorm ideas. You can also create content based on other files. In Slides, Gemini can help you create new slides and custom images, as well as summarize presentations.

Gemini Panel can also help you track and organize your data in sheets. In addition, you can create tables, create formulas, and get help performing certain tasks. In Drive, the Gemini panel can summarize documents and get quick facts about a project.

As with the Gemini panel in Gmail, you'll need to be a paid Gemini user to access features in Docs, Slides, Sheets and Drive.

Google is the latest tech company to add generative AI features to its popular, everyday apps and services. Earlier this year, Meta brought its AI chatbot to Instagram and WhatsApp, while Apple recently announced it was bringing generative AI features to its apps and services, including Siri, Messages, Mail and Notes.

The recent trend of incorporating AI into everyday products may not be welcomed by everyone. While there was excitement around Apple's upcoming AI features, there was pushback when Meta added its AI chatbot to search on Instagram. Until now, users who aren't interested in generative AI tools, such as OpenAI's ChatGPT, have been able to avoid them for the most part. But as tech giants continue to incorporate AI into their everyday apps and services, generative AI will be hard to avoid.
