Google Sheets Gets New Gemini AI Features, Upgrades #
In a blog post on Wednesday, the Mountain View-based tech giant announced that it is introducing new features and improvements for the Gemini AI tool in Google Sheets. The company says that it began rolling out the updates gradually on October 20, and the gradual rollout takes up to 15 days for feature visibility.
The new enhancements are available for users with Business Standard and Plus plans, Enterprise Standard and Plus plans, Google AI Pro and Ultra plans, Google AI Pro for Education, and AI Expanded Access. For admins, the new Gemini features in Google Sheets will be available by default for users with Gemini in Sheets enabled. Meanwhile, other users can access the same by clicking on the “Ask Gemini” button, appearing in the top-right corner of Sheets’ side panel.
As part of the new upgrades, Gemini in Google Sheets will now provide the exact web sources that have been referenced within each individual cell. The company claims that this helps users verify AI-generated data. The cell-level source attribution is also claimed to give users more visibility to “audit, verify, and cross-reference outputs”. The sources will be visible for each individual in Google Sheets’ web version.
On top of this, the Mountain View-based tech giant says that upgraded processing will deliver faster response times. Further, Gemini in Google Sheets now offers improved cell-over-cell consistency. It is claimed to perform up to 55 times faster than manual entry for 500-cell tasks. Apart from this, Gemini in Google Sheets now supports up to 3,000 cells per request, allowing users to summarise, categorise, and process more “data in a single request”.
