May was a landmark month for AI in Google Workspace, with a wave of Gemini enhancements rolling out across Drive, Gmail, Sheets, and more. These updates make your AI assistant more powerful, context-aware, and seamlessly integrated into your daily workflow.
Easily Control Gemini's Sources in Google Drive
You now have precise control over which files Gemini uses to answer your questions in Google Drive. A new "Add sources" button lets you select specific files, or you can simply drag and drop documents into the Gemini side panel to ground its responses in the information you provide.

Do More with Gemini Across Your Workspace Apps
Gemini's integration with your favorite Google Workspace apps—including Calendar, Docs, Drive, Gmail, Keep, and Tasks—is now widely available. This allows Gemini to connect information across your apps to provide more helpful and context-aware responses, boosting your productivity.
Perform Advanced Actions in Google Sheets with Natural Language
Your work in Google Sheets is about to get much faster. You can now use simple, natural language to ask Gemini to perform advanced actions like creating dropdown menus, applying conditional formatting, generating pivot tables, and sorting data. Instead of searching through menus, you can just tell Sheets what you want to do.
Manage Your Calendar from the Gmail Mobile App
Your Gmail app on Android and iOS just became a powerful scheduling assistant. You can now ask Gemini to create, edit, or delete a calendar event, or even just ask about your daily schedule, all without leaving your inbox.
Supercharge Your Research with Your Own Documents
Gemini's Deep Research feature is now even more powerful. You can upload your own PDFs and images or link directly to files in Google Drive to include them as sources in your research reports. This allows you to combine public information with your own private data for incredibly detailed and relevant results.
Measure Your Video's Impact with Engagement Insights
Ever wonder if people are watching the videos you share in Google Drive? Now you can find out. A new Analytics section shows you the total number of times a video has been opened, giving you valuable insight into viewer engagement.
Get Automatic Email Summaries in the Gmail App
Tired of sifting through long email chains on your phone? Gemini is here to help. For longer threads, a helpful summary card will now automatically appear at the top of the message in the Gmail mobile app, giving you the key points at a glance.
