During its Cloud Next 2024 conference, American tech giant Google recently introduced a number of enhancements designed to increase collaboration and efficiency among its Workspace suite users. These improvements, which also include the addition of new Gemini features, are a part of Google’s continuous endeavors to further incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) into its products.
As part of the recently released improvements, Gmail users on mobile devices will now have access to voice prompting and the “Help me write” tool for simpler email composition while on the move. Furthermore, with just one click, a new “instant polish” capability may turn unpolished notes into polished emails.
Users of Google Sheets will now have easier data formatting and organizing options thanks to a new tables feature. In addition, the platform will have a number of templates for different uses and conditional notifications, which will enable automatic alerts depending on predetermined standards.
Additionally, Google Chat will now include Gemini’s AI to summarize talks and respond to inquiries. Automatic message translation and increased group capacity for up to 5,000 members are two new features.
With automatic caption translation available in 4,600 language pairs across 69 languages, Google Meet has been improved. A first glance at the “Take notes for me” feature has also been revealed.
In order to enhance its AI-powered meeting and messaging capabilities, Google is introducing a $10 per user per month business add-on. With this add-on, Gemini is connected with Chat and Meet and provides advanced AI functions.
For an additional $10 per person every month, there is an add-on that improves Google Drive security. It supports Gmail’s categorization labels, DLP controls, and experimental post-quantum encryption in addition to using AI to categorize and safeguard sensitive information.
All things considered, these changes demonstrate Google’s dedication to using AI to improve the usability, effectiveness, and security of its products for both consumers and enterprises.
