100-word summary
Google just rolled out beta features that let Gemini auto-populate spreadsheet tables, draft documents, and design slides without toggling between apps. The standout: "Fill with Gemini" in Sheets, which generates headers and content from a single prompt by pulling from your files or the web. Google claims it's faster than manual entry, though that's based on a 95-person study. Docs gets style-matching prompts, Slides builds editable diagrams, and Drive search now surfaces AI-written summaries with citations. Only Google AI Ultra and Pro subscribers get access for now. The tedious part of building dashboards just became optional.
