Gemini, Google’s LLM-powered chatbot, is getting further embedded into the Google ecosystem of apps with their newest release of the Gemini sidebar. With this new feature, you can open up Gemini in the same window as Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Gmail — interfacing with Google’s best AI assistant without switching windows.
But it gets better, Gemini can actually insert generated content directly into Google apps. For instance, it can:
- Create a data table and automatically insert it into a Google Sheet or;
- Generate a slide and insert it directly into your Google Slides presentation
In this tutorial, we’re going to go from a business idea to a pitched email to an investor, working with the Gemini sidebar across Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Gmail.
Steps we’ll follow in this tutorial:
- Brainstorm and write a business plan in Google Docs
- Create a P&L for your business in Google Sheets
- Create a pitch deck for your business in Google Slides
- Send a pitch email in Gmail
