Support for AI Content Labeling using the Campaign Manager and Display & Video 360 APIs

As the use of AI becomes more prevalent, transparency is key. In the last week, we have launched updates in both the Campaign Manager 360 API and Display & Video 360 API that add new optional fields to resources in both APIs, which allow you to label a creative or creative asset as having been created or edited with AI. Labels will be applied to ads with such assets serving in regions with local AI labeling regulations. As of today, those regions are the European Union (EU), India, and New York state. Read more about AI content labeling at the Campaign Manager 360 Help Center and Display & Video 360 Help Center.

In both APIs, this configuration is set using the optional syntheticContentAttestationStatus field in relevant resources. Setting this field to IS_SYNTHETIC applies the label in the regions listed above, while setting it to NOT_SYNTHETIC confirms that the content does not require a label. You can also leave the field unset. A label will not be applied if the field is left unset. However, once the field is set for a resource, it can’t be unset and may only be updated to be either IS_SYNTHETIC or NOT_SYNTHETIC.

If you have any questions regarding the Campaign Manager API, contact Campaign Manager 360 API support. If you have any questions regarding Display & Video 360 API or Structured Data Files, or want to discuss this post, reach out to us on the #display-video-360-api or #structured-data-files channels on Discord.

Using Campaign Manager 360 API

In the Campaign Manager 360 API, this configuration is set in Creative resources. The syntheticContentAttestationStatus field can be set at resource creation using creatives.insert or updated for existing resources using creatives.patch and creatives.update.

For more information about how synthetic content labels work in Campaign Manager 360 API, see our guide page.

Using Display & Video 360 API

In the Display & Video 360 API, this configuration is set in Creative and AdAsset resources. The syntheticContentAttestationStatus field can be set at resource creation using advertisers.creatives.create, advertisers.adAssets.create, advertisers.adAssets.bulkCreate and advertisers.adAssets.upload. It can also be set or updated for existing resources using advertisers.creatives.patch and advertisers.adAssets.patch.

Using Display & Video 360 Structured Data Files

Starting in Structured Data Files (SDF) v10.1, which is scheduled to launch in the coming weeks, you will be able to add labels when using YouTube videos as video assets in Ad files or as related videos in Line Item files. More details on this implementation will be provided in the upcoming launch announcement of SDF v10.1 and the associated reference documentation.

Generate and edit visuals with Gemini in Google Docs

You can now create and edit images, diagrams, and infographics directly alongside your text using Gemini in Google Docs. These images leverage the context of your document, so you can generate relevant visuals to accompany your writing without ever leaving Docs or relying on external tools. Plus, you can refine your existing visuals and graphics using simple natural language prompts.

With this new functionality, you can:

  • Create rich infographics or diagrams summarizing your docs: Ask Gemini to "Add a diagram providing an overview of the proposal at the top of my doc" or "Create a rich infographic visually summarizing my doc."
  • Refine existing visuals: Use natural language to "Change the aspect ratio to 16:9" or "Make the style more aesthetic to match the rest of the document."
  • Create or edit multiple visuals at once: Ask Gemini to add infographics in each key section, or update the style of multiple visuals at once.

You can access these capabilities from the bottom bar or the Gemini side panel in Google Docs.


Note: This feature is currently supported on the web only.

Streamline collaboration in Google Docs with Gemini-powered comment workflows

We’re introducing Gemini-powered comment workflows in Google Docs to help you quickly understand and respond to collaborator feedback. These new features enable Gemini to read, summarize, and act on comments throughout your document, saving you time and streamlining collaboration.

  • Synthesize and Q&A comments: Ask Gemini to summarize comment threads, extract key themes, or identify unresolved issues blocking your project. For example, you can say "Summarize all comments from Sarah" or "Based on the comments, what are the unresolved issues?"
  • Add new comments: Ask Gemini to insert comments on your behalf, such as "Add a comment asking Roberta to verify the stats in the launch readiness section" or "Review this blog post as a copy editor, leaving comments focused on clarity and narrative flow."
  • Draft contextually grounded replies: Quickly respond to open comment threads with drafts generated by Gemini. For example, "Reply to the thread confirming that we’re approved to launch on April 1" or "Respond to Sarah’s question with a link to the latest CSAT deck from my Drive."
  • Suggest document edits: Ask Gemini to suggest updates to document content based on reviewer feedback, such as "Rewrite the introduction to address Roberta’s feedback." Gemini will generate suggested edits for you to review, approve, and seamlessly apply to your document.
You can access these capabilities by submitting queries from the bottom bar or the Gemini side panel in Google Docs. In addition, you may see proactive nudges to summarize comments when opening a new document or automatically generate a reply when clicking into an existing comment thread.


Note: Gemini-powered comment workflows are currently only available for Google Docs users with edit access.
