What else can you ask once this one’s working?

Use it on a first draft AND a final proofread pass — the ask is different each time ("tighten" vs. "catch typos and awkward phrasing"). Also: In Sheets, ask it to recommend the one chart worth making from the data, same as the spreadsheet move. Also: For documents you'll reuse as a knowledge base across a team, see the ask-your-docs move.

Highlight text in Google Docs and have Gemini rewrite it…

Steal this promptHighlight the section in Docs, then ask Gemini: Tighten this paragraph — same meaning, about 30% shorter, keep my tone. Or in Sheets: What are the 3 things this data is telling me, and which row looks like an outlier?

What you'll get

An edited paragraph or a plain-English read on your spreadsheet, without ever leaving the document.

Why this actually matters

The advantage here is pure convenience — the same result is possible elsewhere, but nowhere else is it zero-copy-paste.

How to do it

1

Open your AI assistant

Open the AI you use (in any chat). This works in all the popular ones.

2

Paste the prompt and fill the blanks

Copy the prompt below, paste it in, and replace anything in [brackets] with your details.

3

Read it, then refine

Read what comes back and ask it to adjust — shorter, warmer, more detail. Two tweaks and it’s perfect.

Take it further ↑

This is a one-off you can run in any chat. The real magic is making it repeat — ask AI to do it every week, keep it as a living system, or have it build you a tool that does it for you. That jump from "neat trick" to "runs my work" is exactly what the ∞ apps are for.
