Improve your writing by grounding Gemini in Google Docs in sources

What’s changing

We’re excited to announce source-grounded writing help in Google Docs. Gemini will automatically curate a list of sources linked in your document and you can choose to ask it to only pull details from those sources when providing writing assistance via the side panel. This will keep suggestions focused and grounded in trusted content. With source-grounded writing help you can:

• Create contextual and reliable output from Gemini
• Query available knowledge on a topic, getting accurate answers that are tailored to your needs

Using this trusted and relevant content can help ensure you’re using exactly the context you need — no guesswork or tab switching required.

Additionally, this launch can help save users time. All users have to do is link files in their document, which many users already do today, and then select "Document links" to ground on those files.

Previously, users would have to remember and individually add files in the prompt field to ground Gemini in them. Adding files individually is still available for users that want to ground on files that are not linked in the document. However, this launch will make it quicker and easier for users that have already linked the relevant files in the doc to ground Gemini on that information, and can help ensure important sources are not left out.
