Google joins AI boom, tests generative AI in Gmail, Docs, apps

Google is testing AI-powered writing features in its Workspace apps, starting with generative AI writing tools in Gmail and Docs. These tools generate drafts for users based on a given topic, which can be refined and edited with the help of AI, with plans to integrate AI capabilities into other apps in the future.

Google, the tech giant known for its innovation, has recently announced plans to incorporate AI-powered tools into its Workspace apps. This move is aimed at enhancing the writing process for users by testing generative AI writing features in Gmail and Docs. The tool enables users to generate a draft on a given topic, which can be refined and edited with the assistance of AI. Google intends to expand this feature to other Workspace apps like Slides, Sheets, Meet, and Chat in the future. This AI-powered tool is expected to benefit users by creating customized job descriptions, invitations, and other written materials with ease.

The idea of incorporating AI into Workspace apps is not new, and other tech giants such as Microsoft, Meta, and Grammarly have also tested generative AI capabilities in their services. With this latest announcement, Google aims to take a step forward and provide a better experience for users. The company plans to initially test the AI tools with a select group of trusted testers before making it available to the public. The rollout of the new AI tools is expected to begin in the coming weeks.

Apart from the new AI-powered writing features, Google also unveiled new AI tools for developers and businesses. These tools include an app builder that will enable companies to launch their own AI chatbots. With these developments, Google is taking significant strides towards improving user experience and making the most out of AI capabilities.
