Google has added a new feature to its Gemini app: the generative AI chatbot can now automatically create slideshow presentations within the app based on prompts entered by the user. Currently, this feature has begun to be rolled out to Workspace users.
Users can generate slideshows with themes and related images by entering text prompts or uploading files. Gemini also supports exporting the generated presentation directly to Google Slides, allowing users to further edit or collaborate with others.
Google stated in its official blog that this new feature is particularly useful for professionals, such as quickly generating event briefings, preliminary project presentations, or converting massive document summaries into slides. At the same time, teachers and students can also use the chatbot to create course presentations and convert notes into structured slide content.
In terms of operation, users only need to click the "Tools" option below the chat box, select "Canvas", enter a topic in the prompt or upload a file, and ask Gemini to "create a presentation".
The slide generation function is currently available on the Gemini web version (desktop and mobile), and is expected to gradually cover various Workspace packages in the next few weeks, including commercial, enterprise, basic and educational and non-profit organization users. It will also be open to Google AI Pro, Ultra, and Education plan users. Google pointed out that Workspace administrators cannot control the push of this feature, and it will also be open to free users in the future.
Gemini has previously supported generating tables based on text prompts and exporting them to Google Sheets. The latest feature further expands the application scenarios of AI office tools. At the same time, the Gemini application has also gained better LaTeX formula rendering capabilities and a new PDF export function, and is equipped with Google's latest video generation model Veo 3.1, which has outstanding performance in narrative, film and television style, and character interaction.
