Google said it will test its AI in Gmail and Google Docs with a limited number of testers in the coming weeks. The trial will include new AI-powered writing capabilities for the apps in question, allowing you to create a variety of compositions with just simple user prompts. Interestingly, Google has said that the power of generative AI will find its way into other workplace applications as well – a sign of Microsoft’s determination to counter a series of AI initiatives in its own products.
Microsoft’s AI initiatives focus on Bing and Edge According to the data It prompted Google to declare a “Code Red”. To make matters worse, the software giant last week officially announced the integration of artificial intelligence into its business applications. His so-called Dynamics 365 CopilotImplemented automation in various applications including Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales, Live sales, Dynamics 365 Customer Service, Dynamics 365 Customer Insights, Dynamics 365 Marketing, Dynamics 365 Business Central and Microsoft Supply Chain Center. This put more pressure on Google, but it is now ready to fight back.
This Tuesday, the search titan said it will integrate artificial intelligence into its various apps, including Slides, Sheets, Meet and Chat. However, ditto It happenedis testing this AI initiative with Google Docs and Gmail. In its latest announcement, the company shared how generative AI will work in two applications.
“In Gmail and Google Docs, you can just type in the subject you want to write about and it will instantly generate a draft for you.” he wrote Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian. “So if you’re a manager hiring a new employee, Workspace saves you the time and hassle of writing your first welcome email. From there, you can refine or shorten the message, or make the tone more playful or professional—all with a few clicks.”
According to Google, more AI experiences will be tested throughout the year before the features are released, allowing users to:
- Design, respond, summarize and prioritize Gmail
- Brainstorm, proofread, write and rewrite documents
- Bring your creative vision to life with automatically generated images, audio, and video in Google Slides
- Go from raw data to insights and analysis through spreadsheet auto-completion, formula generation, and contextual classification
- Create new backgrounds and take notes in Meet
- Enable workflow to do things in a conversation
Google’s AI integration plan looks promising. As published DemoApparently, users could use natural language in their commands to prompt the AI to perform various tasks. Some include wrapping up long email conversations, taking important notes in meetings, writing responses and personalized messages for each person, creating presentations, and even creating images. However, as Google points out, the jobs that generative AI will produce are only a “first version” of the “draft”. Accordingly, users can enhance or “rewrite” designs with other AI personalization features that Google will integrate into apps, such as: B. Gmail’s “I’m feeling happy” option for a more playful tone. Given that these AI capabilities will eventually be added to applications widely adopted by professionals and businesses, Google highlighted the undeniable fact about AI and its shortcomings.
“AI cannot replace the ingenuity, creativity and ingenuity of real people.” is known Johanna Woolich Wright, vice president of Google Workspace product management. “Sometimes AI gets it wrong, sometimes it makes you fancy something, and often it needs guidance.”
