Google has been trying to catch up with OpenAI ever since the latter introduced the conversational bot, OpenAI ChatGPT. Notably, Google made its first move on AI with its AI chatbot Bard. But it was tepid and pushed the tech giant to come up with a new AI tactic.
How AI Works in Workspace
According to the company, the feature comes with new ways to summarise and generate text with AI in Google docs. With this option, users can generate a full email in Gmail and can create AI images, videos, and audio to illustrate presentations for the slides. Also, it will create automated notes on the Meet.
Google said it will introduce the AI writing tool first only in the docs and Gmail. It allows users to generate text automatically after typing a few words about the topic. Users can edit and refine the generated text with more AI suggestions.
However, Johanna Voolich Wright, VP of product at Google Workspace, highlighted:
“AI is no replacement for Ingenuity, creativity, and the smarts of real people.”
Moreover, with all the new features, the AI writing tool in the docs and mail seems to be more useful to the users. The AI system will complete the writing within seconds and let users edit and refine the text.
Following the Bard failure, Google doubled its commitment to making sure that it brings out better output. The AI-enabled workspace suite is expected to arrive for English-language users in the U.S. by end of the month.
