5 ways to use Google Docs’ new AI

Although having AI text generation and editing capabilities inside of Google Docs is convenient, it is still not nearly as strong or practical as alternatives like ChatGPT or Lex.

5 WAYS TO USE GOOGLE DOCS’ NEW AI

  • Create a draft email. It can take hours of your workweek to draft dozens of routine emails. You can give Google Docs AI a specific message and tone to include in a letter, and it will prepare a first draft that you can edit and send.
  • Put together a marketing message. The Google Docs AI can respond to a prompt with a helpful paragraph or a useful list of bullet points if you’re charged with spreading the word about an event.
  • Clarify your sentences. I asked the AI to make lengthy sentences shorter, and it provided helpful edits. It’s great that Google Docs has an AI editor integrated if English isn’t your first language or if you tend to use a lot of words.
  • List the benefits and drawbacks. Even though ChatGPT’s lists are more creative and detailed, the AI is still excellent at this task. I experimented with less complex (working from home) and more complex (operating a freelance journalism business).
  • Prepare brief posts. For routine content, you can use Google Docs AI to create a rough draft that you can then refine. This feature in Google Docs might be helpful for people who get stuck on blank pages.
