so Google workspace have introduced more and improved generative AI I'm going to give you
a full overview of the expected features that Google will be releasing with workspace Ai and
a little bit more about how this landscape is rapidly changing and evolving and will affect
you as a Google workspace user so welcome my name is Francesca d'alessio and I'm very excited to be
diving into today's video we at keep productive do plenty of productivity software videos and talking
about AI so if you do want to subscribe please do today it helps to travel to grow and naturally we
can explore many more topics like this so Google workspace AI released on the same day that openai
introduced something called gpt4 their new and improved API and experience for being
able to utilize AI every single day it's really interesting to see this landscape evolve and
Google workspace has naturally been behind mind Google have been very cautious about releasing
artificial intelligence and naturally have had the upper hand for many years but this is a time
to really strike more recently Microsoft 365 enhancing their core experiences with Microsoft
teams premium introducing intelligent recap and utilizing some of their open AI Partnerships
and relationships so Google workspace really have to get cracking on this and this is what
they're expected to be releasing over the next couple of months so just to give you an idea of
availability this will be rolling out to limited trusted testers in English-speaking countries
with Google so naturally you might not be on that list sadly but they're stated that this will be
rolling out across the year and I can imagine in different aspects when it comes to different tools
that we'll mention across this video so apparently Google's kicking this off with documents and Gmail
and they're making some pretty interesting advancements with that most recently seen
in their video announcement trailer where in Gmail it's got a really interesting ability
where it summarizes your thread and helps you to bring that context there and also help you to help
reply to that email based on certain factors and naturally we can make it more formal make
it snappy but what it does is it helps you to summarize all of those elements so Google doing
very much what a lot of the open AI integration plugins are doing at the moment and enhancing what
they've sort of already had a lot of people know that smart reply and smart composer two things
the Google have led the way on from the start so it's really interesting to see them build on
this and enhance this but according to their page of announcements they're naturally going to help
you draft reply summarize and prioritize your Gmail so it'd be really interesting to see how
they're going to take the Technologies of the foldering system in Gmail and really help you
to prioritize the email that's in there based on artificial intelligence and naturally help
you to produce better drafts and replying as you go throughout your Gmail experience the
secondary experience they're really enhancing is documents and naturally documents have been good
and they've been evolving with the smart documents in terms of reformatting the canvas that stare
with Google Docs but it really hasn't been as smart as what this entails and essentially it
is generative AI allowing you to create whatever you want for example summarizing you know like a
draft for a job description maybe whatever it being and it will naturally help you with the
smart chips to add the variables in from other apps that you may have in your Google Experience
now according to that outline they think that the documents will help you to brainstorm proofread
write and rewrite in documents so I can see this being definitely something that takes them a step
forward so they've hinted at other features inside of their preview and release of this
and I want to dive into a few areas that really interest me in terms of what Google are doing
workspace here so one of the things that they are doing is allowing you to take anything that you've
created in a document and naturally this will probably be after they've released the documents
in Gmail and allow it to turn it into a slide and to be able to Auto generate all that information
now that's a really interesting step forward for workspace because I can see it really spanning
across multiple areas so you're writing a long email and you're pitching somebody on something
and you want to create a pitch depth from that Gmail that would be interesting to see if you can
do that that way versus docs to slides but slides definitely getting a much more improved experience
and also allowing you to add Auto generative images inside of your actual slide which is
really cool and definitely something that's going to save you a lot of time sheets also looking to
get a much more improved experience I'm just going to read this out from you they said go
from raw data to insights and analytics via Auto completion formula generation and contextual
categorization in sheets really interesting to see how they can start to evolve this and improve this
and one of the things that most interested me is in their Google Cloud AI video outlining the app
builder technology and model that you can use as a developer it outlined how for example you
could take a product list in sheets and be able to convert that to the website making changes
that are relevant now so it's really interesting to see that they can span not just text images
and code but they can expand a lot more and be able to make changes based on that model so it's
really interesting to see how sheets are evolving and how they could potentially grow in the future
so Google meet is something that Google have done a good job on I think but they haven't
got anywhere near the likes of Microsoft teams for the core experience and also Microsoft teams
premium added a lot more features in the last update but Google me is getting notes allowing
you to get summarizations on what you're talking about throughout the meeting and be able to write
tasks list and some memory documents in there and that's a really interesting ability because it's
going to save a lot of time in being able to bring together information and be able to have
that at hand so you can definitely see Google meet is striking at the market for Microsoft
teams and finally they outlined the enabling workspaces for getting things done in chat so
I actually didn't see anything relevant to this but it seems interesting that they're trying to
evolve the track functionality so at the same time as a non-developer they released something called
Palm API allowing you to build experiences from that documents like experience that I mentioned
earlier it seems really interesting that you can help build applications in this now but
the Google Cloud AI trailer they outlined the experience of having a website and being able
to build on that and be able to build behind that just by talking to AI really really interested me
because it really turns the weight of of action into a lot smaller chunks for people and being
able to consume and sort of grow experiences a lot further it seems like Google was starting
to understand where their strengths are and be able to connect things up so I definitely
think that Google have made a really healthy step forward in in the fight against Microsoft 365 and
having their own if AI experience combined with their Hardware software and bring that together
it can definitely be a force to be reckoned with but if they're not going to release this faster
and sooner I think they're definitely going to be in a fight with Microsoft I think one of the
things that Microsoft have been able to do is build a strong partnership and relationship
with open Ai and they're sort of already trusted and strong in terms of their product in comparison
and they're really quite confident in being able to release stuff but Google seemed very scared and
very unavailable to be able to release this that can be quite definitely something that probably
shouldn't be doing at the moment I think they should almost be throwing themselves in the deep
end with this and sort of getting and collecting mistakes and knowledge but of course they probably
know much more about this application's 10 ID but definitely in the fight they do have the up hand
in being able to have their own Ai and their own software and their own Hardware overlayed whereas
Microsoft are relying very much on open Ai and their capabilities there so I think in the future
we'll see a good battle between these two but it really depends on Google workspace's efforts
to releasing features and being able to keep them really in tow to what Microsoft are doing but I'm
really happy to see this collaboration and this growth in Google workspaces products if you're
