Google has announced that it is rolling out some AI-assisted features to some of its productivity apps. The rollout isn’t worldwide, however, as the company specifies that these features will only be made available to trusted testers in the US, similar to its Bard chatbot. But the new features will reach all users by the end of this year.
These features will roll out to Google Docs, Gmail, Sheets, and Slides. Within Docs, for example, the interface will offer easy access to AI so you can discuss, summarize or brainstorm as you write your piece. In Gmail, AI can gather context from short bullet points and compose an entire email. And as for slides, you can generate images, audio and video on the fly so that you can make a better presentation.
Google has highlighted some of the features that will soon reach all Google users.
- Draft, reply, summarize and prioritize your Gmail
- Brainstorm, proofread, write and rewrite in Docs
- Bring your creative vision to life with auto-generated images, audio, and video in Slides
- Go from raw data to insights and analysis via autocomplete, formula generation, and contextual categorization in Sheets
- Generate new backgrounds and capture notes in Meet
- Enable workflows to carry out your activities in Chat
You can even choose the tone of writing to best suit the occasion, use AI to help you with a draft based on a given topic, summarize long chain emails to save some time, proofread or even rewrite your document.
