Gemini Coming To Google Docs For Android

On mobile, Gemini in Google Workspace has been limited to the Gmail app, but it’s now coming to Google Docs for Android.

When you open a document, a Gemini icon will appear to the left of the three-dot overflow menu in the app bar. Tapping brings up a bottom sheet equivalent to the desktop side panel that lets you enter a prompt. Gemini lets you “understand, summarize, and ask questions about documents on mobile.”

It works exactly like Gmail, with suggestions actions: Summarize this document, Outline the main points, and Suggest a list of improvements. You can expand the panel to take up your entire screen. In the document UI, Google might also show a “Summarize this document” suggestion next to the edit FAB (floating action button).

Example use cases include:

Get the gist of a long research report with an AI generated summary that you can read on your phone while commuting
Ask Gemini questions about a specific detail buried in a budget document so that you know the answer going into your meeting
Quickly create the first draft of a launch plan with a simple prompt after a team brainstorm while the details are fresh in your mind

At the moment, “Help me write, Help me create, and image generation are not available on mobile at this time.”

Gemini in Google Docs for Android is rolling out over the coming weeks for the following Workspace tiers:
