You say deep integration, yet there is still no way to send a Gemini Canvas to Docs without a lot of tedious copy-pasting and formatting because Docs still doesn’t actually support markdown. Gemini in Google Office in general has been a massive disappointment for all but the most simplistic of writing tasks.

They can have the most advanced infrastructure in the world, but it doesn’t mean much if Google continues its infamous floundering approach to product. But hey, 2.5 pro with Cline is pretty nice.



Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but there is literally a Share button in Canvas right below each response with the option to export to Docs. Within Docs, you can also click on the Gemini "star" at the upper right to get a prompt and then also export into the open document. Note that this is a with "experimental" Gemini 2.5 Pro.


Docs supports markdown in comments, where it's the only way to get formatting.

I love Googles product dysfunction sometimes :/
