## Think fast

If you had 5 seconds to tell me where to find the “Word Count” feature within Google Docs, what would you say?

Yea, I have no idea either 🤷🏻

But that doesn’t matter because I can simply **describe** what I’m looking for and with the power of AI, Google Docs will surface the corresponding feature:

## So what? Big deal

Perhaps you knew Word Count was under the “Tools” menu; or better yet you’ve even known the keyboard shortcut to be CMD/CTRL + SHIFT + C.

But that’s only the tip of the iceberg…

### Google Sheets

I can now just highlight a table and type “pivot” and select “Insert pivot table” *(which is much faster than digging for that in the menu)*

💡

And another favorite of mine is “Freeze up to current row”

### Google Slides

My favorite “shortcut” here is to toggle on and off guides:
