What’s changing
Last year, we introduced a collection of building blocks designed to help you manage important business workflows in Google Docs, including team task management, project tracking, hiring, and more.
Today, we’re excited to announce an additional building block that adds an AI-generated summary to your content using Gemini in Docs. By going to Insert > Building Blocks > AI Summary or typing “@” followed by “AI summary,” Gemini will provide a summary that you can instantly insert or edit alongside other document collaborators. In addition, you can select the refresh option to update your summary when you make changes to your document. doc content.
These AI-generated summaries make it easier to consume long documents and can be particularly useful for content such as technical documents, meeting notes, strategy documents, marketing briefs, and more.
