Overview
- Gemini in Google Docs now supports saved instructions for tone, style, and formatting that the assistant will remember across projects.
- Users set these rules in the Docs side panel, so they can ask for bullet points, a concise voice, or a fixed summary layout without retyping the same prompt.
- Active instructions show up on the sources page beneath each answer, and past rules appear in Docs’ Gemini personalization settings for easy review and edits.
- 9to5Google reports the rollout targets paid Google AI tiers first and is limited to US English accounts with a cap of 1,000 active instructions per account.
- Google has not detailed availability for free users or other regions, following recent moves to weave Gemini more tightly into Workspace after April’s chat-to-file export upgrades.
