I once tried using Gemini directly in Google Sheets to make a graph. I never managed to get it to do exactly what I wanted; after wasting way too much time on it I was able to fix the problem in a matter of seconds. It's fascinating because it is quite different from the situation in coding agents where they are in general really quick to read code and find issues/fixes.
- bharatsuthar 1mo agoTried Gemini in Google sheets today and it was horrible. I simply asked it to apply a nice visual formatting (bold, header filling, currency signs etc) but it made everything look ugly despite working for 4-5 mins.
- peezd 1mo agoYeah, it seems like such an easy value add (especially since they gate it on gemini subs) to make Gemini do a great job in the google productivity apps, but they are generally pretty awful. Claude with MCP access to the google workplace APIs consistently does a better job with any manipulation of google docs
- sidibe 1mo agoYeah I don't know what's holding it back in the browser, doing stuff to sheets is fine from antigravity.
