The AI function in Google Sheets is now enhanced with Google Search results for more up-to-date answers

What’s happening

Earlier this year, we announced AI function in Sheets to help you generate text, summarize information, categorize data, and analyze sentiment at scale, directly from any cell in your spreadsheet. Last month, we expanded feature availability to seven additional languages. 

Now, we're making AI function even more powerful by automatically grounding it in results from Google Search, so it can access up-to-the-minute information from the web to answer your prompts.

For example, you can now use the AI function to find the daily box office schedule for newly released movies, track the daily market sentiment for a new product launch, or get the latest weather information as you plan an upcoming vacation.
