Google is constantly introducing new features to its tools and services to help its users work smarter and more efficiently. The company has made great strides in introducing smart new features that take advantage of artificial intelligence and machine learning, such as: (Smart Compose) automatically completes Gmail messages, and (Smart Reply) also generates automatic responses based on the full context of the conversation on the Resume function (rescuer) in documents.
But now Google is adding generative AI capabilities to its tools and apps, including a feature called Help Me Write that lets you compose the text of a message in Gmail, and integration with Google Docs that lets you type text directly into type to write a Google Doc that inspires you new ideas or helps you. Write new documents, summarize what you've written, or proofread documents you've already written without ever leaving the page you're on. This saves you time and increases your productivity.
Here's how to use generative AI in Google Docs:
The (Help Me Write) feature is part of the smart assistant (Duet AI) service that Google has added to its workspace package, which relies on generative artificial intelligence to help you write, organize, create images, and speed up your workflow to support your work.
Note that this feature is currently only available to testers at Workspace Labs. If you want to try it, you can register on the platform (Workspace Labs) as follows:
- Go to the platform's official website.
- Accept the terms of use and click on the (Submit) option.
Once the registration process is complete on the platform (Workspace Labs), you can use the new Generate AI feature in Google Docs by following these steps:
- Go to Google Docs on your computer and open a new document.
- You will see a Help me write button at the top of the page. Click on it
- Enter your statement and click Create.
- The result is available to you in a few seconds; If you are not satisfied with the result, click the "Create New" option and the function will ignore the generated text and execute the request again.
- If you are satisfied with the result, click the Refine option to see more options such as: b: (formalize) to rewrite the text in a more formal language, (shorten) to shorten the text if it is too long, or (detail) the option to interpret the text if was too short, or use the paraphrase option to rewrite it in other words.
- Once you've customized the text to suit your needs, click the "Insert" option to insert the text generated using Generative AI into your document.
- You can also use this feature on an already created document to edit or summarize it by clicking on the "Type me" button that appears on the left side of the document.
