In its Cloud Next 2024 Conference, Google introduced a new set of updates. These updates enhance the productivity and teamwork of Workspace users. These new features, such as Gemini capabilities, allow Google to fully leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to offer users an even better service. Google’s products will now have the power of AI.
Let’s discuss these recent updates one by one in this blog post. For one, mobile Gmail users can enjoy advanced features such as voice prompting and “help me write.” These features will help users compose emails seamlessly and instantly. There is also an additional feature called “instant polish” that refines your email by eliminating all the rough notes. Instant Polish modifies your email so that it is well-crafted, and it does all that with just a single click.
Google Docs has also updated itself with a new tabs feature, simplifying the organization process. Users can better organize all their information into a single document. This reduces the need to create multiple documents, as you can have everything you need in one place. It just makes searching and finding information easier. Moreover, it won’t be long before Google Docs also includes full-bleed cover images.
Google Sheets has come up with a new table feature that simplifies the data organization and formatting. The platform also provides a fresh collection of templates meant for various purposes. In addition, conditional notifications have also been added as a part of its latest update, offering automated alerts.
Google Chat now incorporates Gemini’s AI, which effortlessly summarizes conversations or chats and answers queries in no time. Its other latest additions include automatic message translation and an increased group space that can accommodate as many as 500,000 members.
Google Meet has also made it to Google’s latest updated products list. It added automatic caption translation with the power to translate 69 languages and 4600 language pairs. The “take notes for me” is also a part of its updated version. This amazing feature allows users to sit back and relax during meetings rather than utilizing all their focus on scribbling notes. Now, you can actively participate in the conversation while this tool takes notes for you. Moreover, another feature called “Translate For Me” is also coming up that will enable captions to be translated in real-time.
To further enhance user experience, Google is tempting customers with a new add-on, adding AI-powered Gemini into Chat and Meet. However, to enable this feature, each user will need to pay a price of $10 per month. Additionally, there is another add-on that works as a tool to strengthen Google Drive’s security, which comes at the cost of $10 per user per month. This add-on is a software extension that classifies and protects important files, including DLP (Data Loss Prevention) controls, experimental post-quantum cryptography, and classification labels in Gmail.
All these updates have one single goal—to make the best use of AI to provide users with better service in terms of intuitive touch for seamless operations, enhanced security, and better efficiency. This overscores Google’s continuous and utmost dedication to improving the platform for individual users and businesses.
