AI Features in Google Docs and Sheets

Google has launched several new artificial intelligence (AI) powered features in its popular Docs and Sheets productivity applications. These updates leverage advances in natural language processing to provide users with helpful writing suggestions, data insights, and more.

Google Docs features include Help Me Write, which provides grammar corrections and style suggestions as you type to help improve your writing. There's also a new summarization feature that automatically generates concise overviews of long documents.

For Google Sheets, Google introduced Formula Helper, which provides suggestions to help construct formulas based on data context. The Explore feature generates interesting data insights about spreadsheets, highlighting trends, outliers, and more.

The new smart features in Docs and Sheets use Google's advanced natural language processing models to provide tailored, personalized suggestions to users.

Here's how to use the new AI features with examples.
