Google has taken a significant jump forward by infusing artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities into Google Workspace. The new ‘Duet AI,’ aims to transform Workspace into a powerful, AI-powered platform for seamless collaboration and enhanced productivity.
Initially, Google Workspace made real-time collaboration possible. With the introduction of Duet AI, Google is now integrating the prowess of generative AI throughout Workspace. The objective is to accelerate workflows, enrich meetings, and simplifying tasks like writing, organizing, and visualizing.
Since the introduction of AI-driven features in Gmail and Google Docs, Google has noticed a positive response from users. Duet AI has proven useful in various professional and personal activities, such as composing emails, job applications, or devising project plans. Google’s AI-enabled grammar, spell check, smart compose, and quick reply features have assisted users over 180 billion times in the past year alone.
The capabilities of Duet AI are now extended to Gmail Mobile, enabling users to draft comprehensive replies with just a few prompts. This AI-assisted composition tool will soon offer contextual assistance, generating professional responses, including relevant information like names, thereby streamlining communication.
