It looks like AI has finally reached a point in our lives where we cannot escape it. After OpenAI became the inception of what can only be called the AI revolution, many tech giants have made it their primary goal to get on the AI bandwagon and excel. Google has now announced a suite of upcoming AI features for various Workspace apps which includes Google Docs, Gmail, Sheets, and Slides. Check out every AI implementation in Google apps below –
Google goes AI
The new features introduce a revamped way to generate, summarize, and brainstorm text with AI in Google Docs. This is somewhat if not entirely similar to how people use OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Users can also generate full emails in Gmail based on users’ bullet points. AI imagery and the ability to generate audio and visual presentations in Slides will also be present in the new Google AI services. The quick response to the changing AI landscape around the world by Google does hint towards the company’s ambition to catch up to all the competitors currently thriving in the sector.
Reports suggest that Google had declared ‘Code Red’ back in December when senior management of the company asked staff to add AI tools to almost all end-user products. While Google is making waves in the world of AI, the company’s approach to announcing the new services can only be described as hasty. While Google has already announced a plethora of new features, as of now, only AI writing tools in Docs and Gmail will be making their way to a group of ‘Trusted Testers’ in the US. Here are all the AI features coming to Google in the near future as per Google’s recent blog post –
- draft, reply, summarize, and prioritize your Gmail
- brainstorm, proofread, write, and rewrite in Docs
- bring your creative vision to life with auto-generated images, audio, and video in Slides
- go from raw data to insights and analysis via auto-completion, formula generation, and contextual categorization in Sheets
- generate new backgrounds and capture notes in Meet
- enable workflows for getting things done in Chat
