Google is making Gemini more easily accessible in its Workspace apps, if you're a paying customer. The company is rolling out Gemini side panels for Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drive and Gmail, and it has also launched Gemini for the Gmail app on Android and iOS. When Google announced the Gemini side panels at I/O this year, it called the feature "the connective tissue across multiple applications with AI-powered workflow." The side panel in Docs will help you refine and rephrase what you're writing, summarize information, suggest improvements and create new content based on other files. In Sheets, it can help you create tables, generate formulas and demystify various Sheets functions by teaching you how to do certain tasks.

This co-creation platform is a powerful competitor to the popular workspace app, Notion. One can import and arrange documents, projects, and other objects on Loop's workspaces and pages. Its standout feature is the ability to convert any page into a real-time block, which can be copied and pasted into Microsoft Teams, Outlook, Word on the web, and Whiteboard.
