Markdown makes writing Google Docs and notes more efficient. You can turn something into a heading 1 by typing a hashtag and space before you type, if you want to create a heading 2, you type 2 hashtags and space and it automatically turn it into a heading 2.

I LOVE this feature in notion. It makes life so much easier in formatting documents on the fly

Hopefully Google will do a better job describing meeting minutes, as MS Teams really sucks at it. So it’s great we can turn it on upfront, but selecting a language in times of AI…? Oh well, hopefully it will still detect English terminology when selecting Dutch as the main language. Because that’s where Teams messes things up, just like when you didn’t configure Dutch as the main language for the meeting… you’ll end up with a document full of gibberish.

Absolute confidence Google will workout Gemini and its Workspace integration, too. But as I said in a reply on another video of yours, I’m very disappointed at what they’re offering at this point and still charge more than EUR 22, 00 per user per month on top of your Workspace subscription. I’ve paused my Gemini for Workspace subscription, as it’s simply not Pro enough, yet. Access to Drive files just became available last week, no other plugins or add-ons that are available in the Personal version, no real image generation since the debacle (only very basic from within documents), the main model isn’t fully on par with the competition, same goes for other features in the chat agent interface (i.e. for charts I have to use Sheets), etc.. With the current development pace they should have offered a much bigger discount, for at least the first year… it’s simply not worth the EUR 240+ per user per year. Eventually it will, but not at this point. At least the Personal version offers more features, and another 2TB of personal Drive storage.

I also have gemini enterprise but I am unable to see the option under generative AI in Admin? It is day 1 of a trial so maybe it takes a few days? Any other ideas?
