In addition to the existing “Help me write” capability, Gemini in Google Docs is going a step further with “Help me create.”
This feature lets you “create formatted documents from scratch,” and is especially powerful when you attach an existing Drive file (@ filename). What’s generated can include illustrations and cover images. For example:
- “Help me create a content plan for a blogpost on health conscious superfoods. Include potential recipes, nutritional information, ingredients, and personal tips.”
- “I am a team leader for the CyberMax project, and I am working on a daily sync with the team members and editors. Can you please prepare an organized and professional format for the daily sync doc with dates, action items, an agenda, and some open-ended questions?”
- “Hi! Can you help me draft a fun Friday memo for my team thanking them for their hard work and reminding them Monday is a holiday? I’d like it to be work appropriate, but fun using emojis and jokes or puns!”
- “Blank financial report template for bakery in Q1 and Q2.”
- “I’m leaving my kids with a babysitter for an evening date night. Can you help me create detailed instructions for the babysitter, including daytime and nighttime schedules, allergies, favorite snacks and toys for each child, and emergency contacts?”
In all, you can create: Proposals, Project trackers, Brainstorm documents, Blog posts, Press releases, Campaign briefs, Menus for dinner parties, Family newsletters, and Vacation itineraries.
Google recommends specifying the “audience, purpose, and goals” in your prompt. If this is available for you in Google Docs as part of Workspace Labs, go to File > New > Help me create. It joins other features like “Help me create a list” in Google Keep, “Help me create a form” in Google Forms, and “Help me organize” in Google Sheets.
Meanwhile, Google Docs is also testing the @Summary building block:
