Explore in Docs, Sheets and Slides makes work a breeze — and makes you look good, too
September 29, 2016
We built Google Docs to help you create your best work — from work, school or home, and everywhere in between. We know crafting presentations, projects and reports takes time and energy. That’s why today we’re introducing
Explore in
Docs
,
Sheets
and
Slides
to bring you insights, design tools and research recommendations so you can create better work, faster.
Explore uses Google smarts to help you create amazing presentations, spreadsheets and documents in a fraction of the time they used to take… so you can get on with what’s most important in your life. It’s like having a researcher, analyst and designer by your side.
Insights, instantly
Today’s updates to
Explore in
Sheets
help you decipher your data easily, whether you’re new to spreadsheets or a formula pro. Just ask Explore — with words, not formulas — to get
answers
about your data. You can ask questions like “how many units were sold on Black Friday?,” “what are the top three items by sales price?,” or “what was the total cost of jackets last month?” Less time crunching numbers + crafting formulas = more time to find key insights and use them.
We’ve also added new formatting suggestions to help make your data pop. Explore in Sheets is available on the web,
Android
and now on
iOS
, too!
Beauty, baked in
Crafting the perfect pitch deck or sharing your team’s story is hard enough without having to make it look great, too.
Explore in
Slides
makes design polishing simple. As you work, Explore dynamically generates design
suggestions
, based on the content of your slide. Simply pick a recommendation and apply it with a single click — no cropping, resizing or reformatting required.
We’ve seen that people save over 30% of the time they would have spent on formatting when they use Explore. So even if design isn’t your style, rest assured you’ll have a beautiful presentation to be proud of. Instantly.
Research, made simple
Explore in
Docs
makes researching and writing reports on the go a whole lot easier. Whether you’re writing about mobile retail trends or planning your next team offsite, you’ll get instant suggestions based on the content in your document. We’ll automatically recommend related
topics
to learn about, images to insert and more content to check out in
Docs
on your
Android
,
iPhone
or the web.
We know that it’s helpful to refer to other content when writing an analysis, summary or proposal. That’s why we’ve also made it easy to find a related document from Drive or search Google, right in Explore. Less time spent switching between apps more time to polish your ideas.
We designed
Explore in
Docs
,
Sheets
and
Slides
to make creating and working easy and most of all, fast — all backed by the power of Google. Let Explore save you time so you can focus on what matters most.
