Google is continuing to expand the role of Gemini across its productivity apps, and Google Slides is now getting a fresh set of AI-powered upgrades. Gemini already helps users generate images, summarize information, and build presentation content more quickly. With the latest update, Google is adding new tools designed to make it easier to turn ideas into complete slide decks, edit existing presentations, and keep layouts consistent.

Gemini’s slide generation capabilities in Google Slides are getting an upgrade, and it can now create fully editable slides that match the overall theme of your deck. When creating new slides, you can also instruct Gemini to pull information from your files, emails, and the web, and it will automatically find relevant details to incorporate in the new slide.

Google is also upgrading Gemini’s editing capabilities, and it can now act as a collaborative partner, helping you edit slides using simple natural language commands. Google says you can now prompt Gemini to “make this match the colors of the rest of my deck” or “make this more minimal” to quickly edit your slides.

In addition to improved slide generation and editing, Google is prepping a massive upgrade for Gemini in Google Slides that will help you generate entire slide decks from scratch. Once it rolls out, this feature will let you create an entire presentation with a single prompt like “create a 5-slide deck for my upcoming Tokyo trip,” and Gemini will sift through your emails and files to generate a personalized presentation with your travel details.

The slide generation upgrade and improved editing capabilities are rolling out globally to Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers in US English and will also be available to enterprise users on the Gemini Alpha business plan. Google has not shared a timeline for the slide deck creation feature yet, only saying that it is coming soon.

It’s funny when a brand-new phone teaches an old tablet a lesson. That’s exactly what the iPhone Duo seems to have done for the iPad. I’m genuinely glad somebody at Apple was paying attention, as it was overdue.

iPadOS 27.2 makes setting up side-by-side apps on an iPad much easier, and it is an iPad multitasker’s dream come true if you ask me.

Google’s next Googlebook could make your Android tablets feel outdated
Googlebooks are moving beyond traditional laptops, and the next one might look more like a tablet.
Computer, Electronics, Laptop

Googlebooks have only been around for a little over a month, but Google is already looking beyond traditional laptops. The company has confirmed that detachable Googlebooks are on the way, meaning we could soon see devices that work as both a tablet and a laptop without carrying two separate gadgets.

The announcement came during the Android Dev Summit 2026, where Google outlined its plans to expand the Googlebook lineup beyond the clamshell and convertible designs currently available. While the company hasn't revealed an official launch date or shown any hardware, an earlier leak suggests Lenovo could be the first manufacturer to bring one to market.
