Google Sheets is getting an improved Smart Fill feature today

In 2020, Google Sheets was updated with a feature called Smart Fill, intended to detect patterns between columns and suggest data for the remaining cells using the company’s Knowledge Graph. Today, Google announcement that Smart Fill is improved, but the resulting new feature will only be available to Duet AI subscribers. Dubbed “Enhanced Smart Fill,” the new feature is claimed to recognize and fill patterns including sentiment classification, text combining and generation, specific text extraction, address formatting, phone number structuring and emails, as well as text condensation. It’s basically Smart Fill on steroids.

The simplest way to explain how Enhanced Smart Fill works is to imagine a restaurant that wants to organize its reviews and rating data as easily as possible. With Enhanced Smart Fill, rather than manually entering data, Sheets will be able to detect a pattern in the content of existing ratings and reviews and suggest values ​​for the remaining cells.

Obviously, Enhanced Smart Fill can also be used in other areas of business, including sales, fundraising, etc. Ultimately, the improved version of Smart Fill can help make data entry and analysis extremely easy, as you will only have to accept the values ​​suggested by the app rather than entering them manually.

That being said, Enhanced Smart Fill is available today with Duet AI for Google Workspace Enterprise. So if you don’t pay $30 for the Duet AI subscription, the feature won’t appear in your spreadsheet.
