Now, Gemini can respond to questions about your data with details about trends or by creating static charts that you can insert into your spreadsheet as images. The new capability is rolling out now to most Workspace plans and to users on the $19.99-per-month <a href=\"https:\/\/one.google.com\/about\/ai-premium\/\">Google One AI Premium<\/a> plan.<\/p>\n<p>Google says Gemini does all of this by creating and running Python code, then producing an analysis of the code\u2019s results. For simpler requests, it may use normal spreadsheet formulas, but the bottom line is that it could save you the tedium and headache that normally comes with creating data visualizations. Before this, Gemini was limited to simpler tasks like telling you how to do things in Sheets or creating tables for you.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theverge.com\/news\/602215\/gemini-ai-can-automatically-turn-your-spreadsheets-into-charts\">Read Article ><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li role=\"article\">\n<div>\n<div>\n<p><img alt=\"Richard Lawler\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"34\" height=\"34\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\"   src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/chorus\/author_profile_images\/195843\/RICHARD_LAWLER.0.jpg?quality=90&#038;strip=all&#038;crop=0%2C0%2C100%2C100&#038;w=2400\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>OpenAI CEO Sam Altman on DeepSeek R1: \u201can impressive model.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The ChatGPT boss <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/sama\/status\/1884066337103962416\">says<\/a> of his company, \u201cwe will obviously deliver much better models and also it\u2019s legit invigorating to have a new competitor,\u201d then, naturally, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2024\/12\/4\/24313130\/sam-altman-openai-agi-lower-the-bar\">turns the conversation to AGI<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/chorus\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/25849821\/samaltman_openai_deepseek.jpg?quality=90&#038;strip=all&#038;crop=0,0,100,100\" data-pswp-height=\"624\" data-pswp-width=\"609\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\"><img alt=\"Screenshot of tweets by Sam Altman reading \u201cdeepseek\u2019s r1 is an impressive model, particularly around what they\u2019re able to deliver for the price. we will obviously deliver much better models and also it\u2019s legit invigorating to have a new competitor!

Like other Microsoft AI features, you\u2019ll need a Copilot Plus PC to use it.<\/p>\n<p>The feature applies whether you\u2019re using search boxes in Settings, File Explorer, or the taskbar. And you don\u2019t need to be connected to the internet for it to work, thanks to the NPU chips on Copilot Plus computers. For now, AI search is limited to Windows settings and files with image and text formats that include JPEG, PNG, PDF, TXT, and XLS.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2025\/1\/18\/24346770\/microsoft-testing-windows-ai-search-copilot-plus-pcs\">Read Article ><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li role=\"article\">\n<div>\n<div>\n<p><img alt=\"Wes Davis\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"34\" height=\"34\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\"   src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/chorus\/author_profile_images\/196306\/unnamed.0.jpg?quality=90&#038;strip=all&#038;crop=0%2C0%2C100%2C100&#038;w=2400\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cRecording is hard, so let AI do it\u201d is a bad take.<\/p>\n<p>Having lost countless nights to it, and considering my days in recording studios were some of the best of my life, Shulman seems to be either flatly lying or has no idea what he\u2019s talking about.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li role=\"article\">\n<div>\n<div>\n<p><img alt=\"Wes Davis\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"34\" height=\"34\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\"   src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/chorus\/author_profile_images\/196306\/unnamed.0.jpg?quality=90&#038;strip=all&#038;crop=0%2C0%2C100%2C100&#038;w=2400\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Microsoft drops its GitHub Copilot Workspace waitlist.<\/p>\n<p>More developers can now access Microsoft\u2019s AI coding assistance tool that\u2019s been on a waitlist since its <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2024\/4\/29\/24144454\/github-copilot-workspace-ai-coding-developer-preview-launch\">debut in April last year<\/a>, company CEO Satya Nadella announced in a LinkedIn post on Sunday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"dmcyOnBvc3Q6MTcwMw==\" role=\"article\">\n<div>\n<p><img alt=\"Wes Davis\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"34\" height=\"34\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\"   src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/chorus\/author_profile_images\/196306\/unnamed.0.jpg?quality=90&#038;strip=all&#038;crop=0%2C0%2C100%2C100&#038;w=2400\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2025\/1\/8\/24339450\/microsoft-reverting-bing-image-creator-quality-complaints-dall-e-3-pr16-pr13\">Microsoft is reverting its Bing AI image generator because of quality complaints<\/a><\/h2>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p><img alt=\"A trippy graphic displaying a collection of items like paintbrushes, books, phone messages, and a notepad to represent generative AI.
