On March 24, 2025, Google Drive introduced clickable nudges designed to guide users in leveraging the Gemini AI features more effectively.

These nudges will highlight common Gemini workflows, such as summarizing a folder and asking about its contents, tailored to the user's Drive activity.

The primary goal of these nudges is to reduce the learning curve associated with Gemini, making its capabilities more accessible without requiring users to search for them.

As part of a gradual rollout, it may take over 15 days for all users to see these nudges, which will appear at the top of the Drive homepage and within folders.

Gemini AI has been integrated into various Google services, including Gmail, Google Docs, and Sheets, enhancing their functionality by assisting with tasks like drafting emails and summarizing content.

One of Gemini's standout features, Gemini Deep Research, simplifies web research by allowing users to input natural language queries for information retrieval without the need to visit multiple web pages.

In addition to the nudges, Google has made advanced Gemini features, including Gemini Deep Research and custom Gem bots, available for free, eliminating the previous subscription requirement.

Furthermore, a new feature in Gmail enables users to add events to Google Calendar directly from emails, thanks to Gemini's suggestions.

Gemini is also set to replace Google Assistant in Android Auto, expanding its capabilities to control smart home devices.

To enhance personalization, Gemini will now request access to users' Google Search history, a feature currently available in the beta version of the Google app.

Google is integrating Gemini AI features across its products, including Workspace, where it can translate messages and improve video call quality.

In Google Drive, Gemini can summarize documents, interact with PDFs, manage files and folders, and retrieve information from projects via a convenient side panel.
