Use Gemini in Google Forms to summarize form responses

What’s changing

Last year, we announced the general availability of Gemini in the side panel of Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drive and Gmail to assist users in summarizing, analyzing, and generating content—all without switching applications or tabs. Today, we’re excited to expand Gemini to another Workspace app: Google Forms. 

To help you quickly gain insights from responses to Google Form short-answer or paragraph questions, we’re introducing AI-generated text summarizations. 

Starting today, Gemini will use the context of the form title, description, question, and the responses to generate a summary with key themes and takeaways. 
Summarize responses with Gemini in Google Forms

Getting started 

  • Admins: To access Gemini in the side panel of Workspace apps, users need to have smart features and personalization turned on. Admins can turn on default personalization setting for their users in the Admin console. 
  • End users: 
    • If the text question has more than 3 responses, you will see an option to “Summarize responses” in the Responses tab. 
      • After clicking "Summarize responses” to generate key insights, you can select “Retry.” Gemini may give different results for the same responses at different times. 
      • If you’re happy with the summary, click “Copy” to use the summary in a document, email or Slides presentation. 
    • If new responses come in after the summary has been generated, you can refresh the summary by clicking “Refresh”. 
    • This feature is only available in English at this time.
