GoKawiilGemini in Google Sheets adds source citations and faster bulk processing
Google updated Gemini in Sheets so AI-generated cells now display the web sources used to populate them, letting users verify data without searching separately. The update also increases Gemini's processing capacity to 3,000 cells per request, with Google claiming some 500-cell tasks run up to 55 times faster than manual entry. Google Sheets is additionally rolling out compact pivot tables and improved Excel compatibility to all users.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Citing sources directly in spreadsheet cells could ease a common concern with AI tools: confident-sounding but inaccurate output, since users can now check provenance without extra steps. The speed and scale improvements suggest Google is pushing Gemini toward handling larger, more complex data tasks that previously required manual spreadsheet work, which could broaden its appeal for business users managing large datasets.
