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.

Google has added a button for Gemini to nearly everything I touch. Sometimes it has been added where UI elements previously were for other things. How much more "natively" do they need to integrate it? A dialog box saying "use Gemini or we'll delete your document!" ?
