What is Google Gemini?
Gemini is Google’s assistant for questions, writing and creative tasks. Its free offering includes image generation and editing, Deep Research and Canvas, with access and allowances that depend on the feature.
If your draft needs a separate interactive artifact alongside the chat, compare Claude for that workflow.
Official website: gemini.google.comHow do you use Gemini Canvas for a draft?
In Gemini, open the tools under the prompt box and choose Canvas. Ask for the format you need, then select one passage to edit directly or ask Gemini to revise just that part. Compare the revision with the original before reusing it.
- Try a short draft with one clear requirement, such as keeping all dates and facts intact while shortening the wording.
- Use the share or export options for that draft type and open the result once before handing it off.
