I’m surprised that Google hasn’t integrated Gemini more natively into their workspace apps like Google Sheets or Google Slides, and has instead been developing a more ringfenced NotebookLM. I think they have some very basic integration in sheets but it feels like they’re keeping it intentionally subdued for now.

I suppose they want to take their time to get it right, but there are some killer use cases for LLMs in spreadsheets. Of course, the typical corporate idiot will make a giant mess of this when they use it in the wrong scenario… and I’m dreading the day I need to look at LLM-generated slides. But it still feels like Google is keeping Gemini in its own little box, rather than letting it seep more naturally into the rest of their products.
