Stop searching for files. Stop reading long email chains. Let Gemini access your Google Workspace and do the heavy lifting.
Try asking:
"Find the email from 'HR' about 'Benefits' sent last week and summarize the key changes."
Try asking:
"Find the PDF named 'Q3 Report' and extract the revenue numbers for July."
Try asking:
"Read the document 'Project Alpha Proposal' and write a counter-argument."
When you use Workspace extensions, Google does not use your personal data (Docs, Drive, Gmail) to train the public Gemini models. Your data stays yours.
Go to gemini.google.com and click the 'Settings' (gear icon) in the bottom left.
Select 'Extensions' from the menu.
Toggle the switch to 'On'. You might need to sign in again to grant permission.
In the chat, type '@Google Drive' or just ask naturally.
Watch the animation above to see the exact clicks.
Finding that one email from HR without searching manually.
