Google announced a new batch of beta capabilities for Gemini in Sheets, with the goal of not just "helping you write formulas", but allowing users to create, organize and edit entire forms directly through natural language, covering everything from basic form filling to complex data analysis. For teams that use tables as the core interface for operations, finance, and project collaboration, this update advances the AI assistant from partial completion to a more complete form execution layer.
Google also disclosed that Gemini in Sheets achieved a 70.48% success rate on the public benchmark SpreadsheetBench, which has reached the leading level of similar solutions and is close to human performance on this test set. The importance of this metric is that it evaluates not static Q&A, but the ability to modify and manipulate spreadsheets in the real world, so it is closer to the daily use scenario of enterprises.
From the perspective of the product path, Google is clearly strengthening the executable AI within Workspace this time: users can only describe their requirements and let Gemini participate in the entire table operation, rather than staying at the suggestion layer. As Sheets, Docs, Drive, and Slides simultaneously introduce more Gemini features, Google is making AI in the office suite a default interaction method from an add-on.
