2. Sheets Canvas Turns Spreadsheet Data Into Gemini-Built Dashboards

Google. Google rolled out Sheets canvas, a Gemini-powered feature that turns spreadsheet data into interactive dashboards and apps from a natural-language prompt. The canvas sits as a read-write layer on top of the underlying sheet and stays synchronized in real time, so edits flow both ways without any coding.
