Google is enhancing its Workspace AI toolkit with the addition of “Help Me Create” for Google Docs. This new feature aims to simplify content creation by providing users with a starting point for various document types, from marketing plans to party checklists.
Unlike existing AI tools in Workspace, “Help Me Create” doesn’t require users to have existing content to get started. Instead, users provide a prompt detailing what they want to achieve, and the AI generates a comprehensive draft, complete with text formatting, images, and relevant data pulled from other Google Drive documents.
To use “Help Me Create,” users can either utilize the dedicated shortcut in a new document or navigate to “File → New → Help me create.” The AI then processes the prompt and generates a detailed document outline, saving users time and effort in the initial drafting process.
This feature is currently rolling out to paid Workspace users with Gemini Business, Enterprise, Education, Education Premium, or Google One AI Premium add-ons. It is initially limited to pageless documents and English language prompts, and it does not include web results like the standard Gemini chatbot.
The rollout is expected to be completed by January 9, 2025, providing a valuable new tool for Workspace users who want to streamline their document creation workflow.
