Y’all know those smart little AI assistants called Gems in the Gemini app? The ones you can customize to write brand copy, prep for exams, or even help with sales pitches?
Well guess what? They’ve officially moved into Google Workspace.
That means you no longer need to open the full Gemini app to access your custom AI bots. Just open Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Slides, or Drive — and boom — your Gems are right there in the side panel, ready to get to work.
Why this matters:
No more app-switching — you can now use your custom Gems (or Google’s pre-made ones) without ever leaving your doc or email.
These Gems are like AI interns… only faster, always on-brand, and never asking for coffee breaks.
You can even upload your own files into a Gem, so it’s not just guessing — it’s working with real context. (And yep, @-mentions and file access still work like a charm.)
And here's what these Gems can actually do:
Write content that sounds like you (or your brand)
Handle sales convos with details on specific clients, companies, or industries
Summarize, brainstorm, write, and tweak pretty much anything
Stress-test your message from different angles—like a C-suite exec or dream customer
Heads-up: You can’t build a brand-new Gem directly inside Docs or Gmail just yet.
But to create one, head to 👉 gemini.google.com/gems/create or tap the “Create a new Gem” in the Workspace side panel.
As for the rollout status: This update started rolling out on July 2nd, but Google says it may take more than 15 days to hit everyone’s Workspace. So if it’s not live for you yet… just hang tight — it’s coming.
