What’s changing
The
Google Classroom API enables third-party developers to manage classes, rosters, invitations and more in Google Classroom. Since 2019, teachers have been able to
create or reuse a rubric for an assignment, however this capability did not previously exist in the Classroom API. To improve upon this experience, we’re excited to announce that developers can now manage assignment rubrics via the
Classroom API.
More specifically, developers can read and write rubrics using the API, and also see student submission scores broken down by the corresponding rubric criteria, rather than just accessing the total score, enabling deeper insights into student performance.

Admins and developers
Why it’s important
This update enables developers to create and manage rubrics on behalf of teachers at scale, and retrieve rubric-based grades to support more holistic student performance insights.

What’s changing
Building upon AI-powered features such as
help me write,
image generation, and
more using Gemini in Google Docs, we’re excited to introduce a new way for users to create highly structured, styled, and visually-appealing documents with Gemini.
Today, we’re introducing
help me create, a new feature that lets you build a full document using content in Drive from a single, custom prompt. Simply click to create
at the top of a new document or go to
File > New > Help me create to get started. After describing the document you want to create, which includes the option to pull in content from your files using “@ filename”, Gemini will transform your blank page into a long-form document with
cover images,
in-line images, stylized text, tables, content from your Drive files, and more.
Who’s impacted
End users
Why you’d use it
Help me create is designed to help you get started with a first draft of your document. For example:
- A marketing manager at a CPG company can create a launch plan for a new product using the following prompt: Create a marketing plan to support the launch of a new line of coffee flavors. Include timing, owners, deliverables, and create a cover image that shows different types of coffee.
- A manager can create a vision document to keep their team on track by telling Gemini: Create an overview document of our team charter and goals based on [Team charter brainstorm notes], and include a cover image that shows team bonding in an office setting.
- A small business owner specializing in eco-friendly products can create a proposal for a new client by typing: Create a proposal for my new client using the deliverables listed in [Customer meeting notes – November 30, 2024]. Outline the scope of work, pricing, and timing, and create a cover image that shows eco-friendly cleaning products and inline images.
You can also choose from a variety of starter prompts to expedite the creation process for common document use cases. For example, you can select:
- A roadmap for a product launch that includes strategy breakdowns and outlines key milestones, timelines, and initiatives (with the option to include images for each feature).
- A party planning checklist with a timeline of tasks, milestones, deadlines, and dependencies.
- A template for a 15-minute daily standup meeting with teammates that includes a table for each individual to leave their updates.
