Gemini in Slides adds editable slides

This feels like one of the first AI presentation updates that targets the actual pain of making decks, not just the novelty of generating them.

• –Editable output is the key shift: if Gemini produces a usable starting slide instead of a disposable draft, adoption gets much higher.
• –Pulling context from Drive, Gmail, and the web makes the feature more useful for real work, but also raises the bar on trust and citation quality.
• –The roadmap hint about full deck generation suggests Google wants Slides to cover the whole presentation workflow, not just isolated slide creation.
• –This is strongest for teams already living in Workspace; it’s less a standalone AI product than a retention lever inside Google’s ecosystem.
• –The rollout being in beta and tied to paid Workspace tiers means impact will be real, but initially limited to higher-intent users.
