Google just announced that it has started equipping its online document editing tool Google Docs with new AI features. Google’s own AI tool, called Gemini alongside OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Microsoft’s Copilot, has been able to generate images for a while now, but soon you’ll be able to use Gemini to create AI-generated images directly within Google Docs itself. Google If you frequently use Google Docs, whether for personal use or as part of a larger team, and if you often need images and illustrations to support your text, this feature will boost your productivity. When you want to insert an AI-generated image into Google Docs, simply go to the Insert menu, then select Cover image > Help me create an image. You’ll then be able to describe what you want the image to be and choose from several different visual styles and formats. Gemini will then use the Imagen 3 AI model to generate a few different versions of the image that you can choose from. Google The new image-generating AI feature began rolling out to Google Docs users in the “Rapid Release domain” on Friday, November 15, 2024. Google will later start rolling out the feature to all other “Scheduled Release domain” users starting on Monday, December 16, 2024. To use the image generation in Google Docs, you’ll need to pay for a Gemini Business, Gemini Enterprise, Gemini Education, Gemini Education Premium, or Google One AI Premium subscription.
