_AustinCalvert_ · x · 2026-09-10
Google Workspace announced 5 new agentic capabilities: Gemini can now orchestrate complex cross-app tasks across Gmail, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Chat under user direction, acting as an intelligent orchestrator that generates formatted Docs, structured Sheets, or stylized Slides.
- Gemini uses Workspace Intelligence and deeper app integrations to gather real-time context from selected files, emails, and chat threads, working in the background (e.g., securely drafting a document in Drive for review).
- Example: from within Google Chat, Ask Gemini can track down the latest project status and assemble the slides for a project update without leaving the conversation.
