TechCrunch reported on March 18 that Google is integrating Gemini across Workspace.
The update adds various features, including document summaries, email organisation and schedule management.
In Google Docs, Gemini offers document summarisation and draft-writing functions. Users can automatically summarise long reports or research documents, or generate drafts of newsletters and reports. Features to match writing style or apply specific formats were also added.
In Gmail, an "AI inbox" feature was introduced to filter out unimportant emails and highlight only key messages. It also includes features to summarise long email threads or generate automatic replies based on the context of a conversation. For schedule management, an "AI overview" feature was introduced to search past emails and quickly find needed information.
In Google Sheets, features were added to automatically generate spreadsheets based on information entered by users and to create charts and graphs. In Slides, automatic formatting and text organisation functions were strengthened, and image editing tools were introduced. In Google Meet, features were added to automatically generate meeting minutes, provide real-time translated captions and reduce audio distortion.
In Google Drive, document search and summarisation functions were strengthened, and in Calendar, an "AI schedule adjustment" feature was introduced to suggest suitable meeting times based on a user's schedule. In Google Chat, conversation summarisation and automatic reply functions were added.
