Generate long-form content

Long-form content has the power to inform, entertain, and educate. But sometimes it can be difficult to organize your thoughts into a well-structured article that captures your audience’s attention and expresses ideas clearly. When deadlines loom and you have various tasks competing for your attention, AI writing tools can help you get a first draft completed, eliminating some of the hurdles that stand between you and creating long-form content.

For writers who like to take more of a hands-on approach, creating a piece of content from start to finish, you can use Gemini for Workspace to generate an outline for you to follow. You can use this outline to guide your thoughts and create a piece of long-form content that flows well in terms of narrative and storytelling. Using Help me write in Google Docs can help you compose an entire article from scratch. Just enter a clear prompt or series of prompts detailing what you want a piece of content to discuss and the audience you intend to reach.
