Support for Gmail, Docs, Sheets and more
Google announced in a blog this Tuesday, March 14, its next frontier of AI support, which will encompass its Workspace suite, with support for Gmail, Docs, Slides, Sheets, Meet y Chat.
The large number of writing-based features will first be available to a set of English-based testers in the United States throughout the year and then will be released to the public at a later date.
Like other AI generators, users will be able to enter their message within their workspace, like Docs and Gmail, and the AI will do the rest. Google uses examples that include “a busy HR professional who needs to create custom job descriptions, or a father writing the invitation to his son’s pirate-themed birthday party.”
Google reiterates that its AI options are intended to be used as assistants and not as replacements for human functions.
