## Current Capability Reference

As of **September 2026**, Gemini can perform increasingly sophisticated **cross-app work across Gmail, Drive, Docs, Slides, and Chat**. Google states that Gemini can use selected Workspace context to create formatted Docs, structured Sheets, and styled Slides while the user remains within their current workflow.

Google has significantly expanded **Gemini in Slides** in 2026. It can now generate complete, editable presentations from a prompt and reference existing Docs, Sheets, PDFs, and presentations for content and style context, including creation of on-brand decks from reference presentations.

Gemini in **Sheets** now supports more advanced spreadsheet creation and analysis, including building and editing spreadsheets, resolving formula issues, advanced optimization tasks, and AI-assisted data entry through Fill with Gemini.

In **Gmail**, Gemini can summarize long threads, provide AI overviews of search results, locate relevant messages, identify action items, draft and refine emails, proofread text, and assist with scheduling.

Gemini in **Drive** can summarize and analyze multiple files, including PDFs, answer questions across selected source files, generate insights, and create new content from Drive context.

For meetings, Google Workspace with Gemini supports AI-assisted preparation, notes, summaries, and follow-through. In August 2026, Google expanded **Take notes for me** so meeting notes can capture screenshots of presented slides alongside relevant discussion context.

Google's Workspace guidance explicitly warns that **Gemini can produce inaccurate or inappropriate information and should not be relied upon as professional legal, medical, financial, or other specialist advice**. Senior leaders should therefore treat Gemini as an intelligence, productivity, and decision-preparation layer—not as the final decision authority.

**Leadership Principle:** Gemini for Google Workspace should accelerate **information synthesis, executive communication, meeting preparation, analysis, scenario exploration, and follow-through**. Final strategic direction, financial commitments, people decisions, legal positions, risk acceptance, and external commitments should remain under authorized human leadership.
