American tech giant Google has recently unveiled a slew of updates during its Cloud Next 2024 conference, aiming to boost productivity and teamwork among users of its Workspace suite. These enhancements, including the introduction of new Gemini capabilities, are part of Google’s ongoing efforts to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) more deeply into its products.
Among the updates announced, mobile Gmail users will now benefit from features such as voice prompting and input with the “Help me write” function, making it easier to compose emails while on the go. Additionally, a new “instant polish” feature can refine rough notes into well-crafted emails with just a single click.
In Google Docs, a new tabs feature has been introduced to help users better organize information within a single document, reducing the need for multiple documents or extensive searching through Drive. Furthermore, full-bleed cover images will soon be available, enhancing document presentation.
Google Sheets users will now have access to a new tables feature for simplified data organization and formatting. The platform will also offer a range of templates for various purposes and introduce conditional notifications to provide automated alerts based on specific criteria.
Moreover, Google Chat will now integrate Gemini’s AI, summarizing conversations and answering queries. New features include automatic message translation and expanded group space for up to 5,00,000 members.
Upgrades to Google Meet include automatic caption translation in 69 languages across 4,600 language pairs. Furthermore, a preview of the “Take notes for me” feature has been introduced.
To enhance AI-driven meeting and messaging tools, Google is introducing a new enterprise add-on priced at $10 per user per month. This add-on integrates Gemini into Chat and Meet, providing advanced AI capabilities.
Another add-on, also priced at $10 per user per month, focuses on enhancing security within Google Drive. It uses AI to classify and protect sensitive files, supporting data loss prevention (DLP) controls, classification labels in Gmail, and experimental post-quantum cryptography.
Overall, these updates reflect Google’s commitment to leveraging AI to make its products more intuitive, efficient, and secure for both individual users and businesses alike.
