Completing a single task shouldn't mean breaking your focus or switching apps. To keep you in the flow of work, Gemini can tackle complex tasks behind the scenes, working as an intelligent orchestrator across Workspace using the power of Workspace Intelligence. You can prompt Gemini to help from wherever you are working, including Google Chat, Drive, Docs, Slides, and Gmail*.

Before, you had to prompt within each individual app to get personalized AI help. For example, generating a personalized document with Gemini required being in Docs while building AI-powered spreadsheets required being in Sheets. Now, for example, with richer AI integrations across Workspace apps, Gemini can help you drive your work forward faster by creating personalized and formatted docs or beautifully designed slides without leaving Gmail. This functionality also will soon power the flows you build in Workspace Studio.

Now you can use Gemini across your Workspace apps to:

• Create content: Generate formatted Google Docs, structured Sheets, or stylized Slides in the background, saved securely to your Drive.
• Example prompts:
• When in Gmail (via the side panel) to create a doc: “Create a strategy brief for this project with goals, milestones and next steps.“
• When in Gmail (via the side panel) to create a spreadsheet: "Create a tracker for this project in a new spreadsheet"
• When in Docs (via the side panel) to create a deck: "Turn this proposal into an easy to read slide deck for my director using @presentation as a style reference.”
• When in Chat (via Ask Gemini in Chat) to create a document: "Create a deck outlining Project Zebra with the latest updates"
• When in Drive (via Ask Gemini in Drive) to create a document: "Create a customer insights deck from project Zebra using my project files including sheets, reports, and emails”
• Conduct deep research: Synthesize complex data scattered across large folders or long threads into a summary report, complete with clear source attributions.
• Example prompts:
• When in Docs (via the side panel): “Can you do deep research to see how this blog post compares to other content we have drafted internally and what competitors have published externally?”
• Draft and send emails: Compose detailed emails based on meeting notes or active documents, open as a draft in Gmail or send it directly from the Workspace app you are in.
• Example prompts:
• When in Docs (via the side panel): “Send an email to my sales team for their review and feedback"
• Schedule your meetings: Find open times, schedule meetings, or resolve calendar conflicts when communicating with your teams without switching to your calendar.
• Example prompts:
• When in Chat (via Ask Gemini in Chat): “Schedule some time for me to discuss next steps with product around launch timelines for our new customer support tool“
• Keep track of your to-dos: Instantly log a reminder or create a to-do list, mapping them straight into Google Tasks.
• When in Slides (via the side panel): “Based on the presented strategy, can you remind me to follow up with the Marketing team next week to see how the social campaign went?”

Build branded decks without having to leave Docs

Enterprise security and compliance controls are built-in:

• Data confidentiality: Your data is not reviewed by humans or used to train Gemini models.
• Granular permissions: Gemini respects the authenticated user’s existing access permissions and sharing policies. If the user cannot access a document, neither can Gemini.
• Human-in-the-Loop controls: For actions involving external communication or calendar commitments, such as sending emails or scheduling meetings, Gemini presents an interactive preview card, allowing users to review, edit, and confirm before execution.

Wireless debugging on Android is now faster, more reliable, and easier to set up than ever. With ADB Wi-Fi 2.0, we’ve introduced a new server stack and smarter network handling to directly address developer feedback around usability gaps.

How ADB Wi-Fi 2.0 Improves Wireless Debugging

To ensure ADB Wi-Fi 2.0 is even more reliable, we reworked all three core components of the stack: the adb server, the adbd daemon, and Android Studio.

Here are the new features:

• A new server stack (adb): Previously, wireless device connections would sever when network configurations changed or devices were turned off. This meant that connections would drop for common occurrences. With our new mDNS stack, we’ve replaced both Bonjour and legacy mDNS so that your wireless devices more reliably stay connected as you go about your day.
• Smarter network handling (adbd): Previously, the workstation's mDNS client would sporadically drop services. Now, the daemon automatically turns off ADB Wi-Fi when it detects an untrusted network and re-enables itself once running on a user-allowed network.
• Improved discoverability in Android Studio: Previously, Wi-Fi pairing was difficult to find. Now, you simply enable wireless debugging on your phone and it will show in Android Studio’s Device Manager.

With ADB Wi-Fi 2.0, auto-connection success rates improved by 32% and connection speeds increased by 66% for 90% of connections.

Getting Started

You can use ADB Wi-Fi 2.0 on your phone, tablet, Wear OS, and TV. Here’s how to get started:

1. Update to Android 17, Android SDK Platform-Tools 37.0.0, and Android Studio Quail 3 or later.
2. Ensure your workstation and your Android device are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
3. On your device, navigate to Developer Options and enable Wireless debugging.
4. Open the Android Studio Device Manager and click the pair over Wi-Fi icon.
5. Scan the QR code with your device or use a pairing code, and you're all set!
