"If you want to move past the beginner phase and actually make Gemini work for you, here are four tricks that might not be immediately obvious but are surprisingly handy. Stop copy-pasting your own emails If you're trying to summarize a long email thread or find a specific document to pull data from, your first instinct is probably to open a new tab, find the email, copy the text, go back to Gemini, paste it in, and then ask your question."
"No need: Gemini has "Extensions" built right in. If you want to know when your flight is or summarize a Doc, just type @ in the prompt box. You'll see a menu pop up for Google Docs, Gmail, Drive, Maps, and other Google services. Select one, and say something like, "@Gmail find the email from Bob about the Q3 budget and summarize the main points.""
Gemini offers built-in Extensions that eliminate the need to copy and paste content from emails or documents. Typing @ in the prompt opens a menu for Google Docs, Gmail, Drive, Maps, and other services so Gemini can fetch and summarize relevant content directly. Users can issue commands like "@Gmail find the email from Bob about the Q3 budget and summarize the main points" to save time and reduce tab switching. A trust-but-verify approach is recommended because AI can produce hallucinations, so users should use verification features to confirm facts and outputs.
