Google has announced new generative AI features that will be integrated into Workspace apps. At the center of these changes is the Gemini model, which offers users new capabilities to make working with documents and spreadsheets easier. One of the most interesting features is the introduction of audio podcasts in Google Docs. This allows users to get audio overviews of documents and even listen to articles aloud, which can be useful for reviewing written content.
Additionally, Google Docs will feature a “Help me improve” function, which will leave comments with recommendations for enhancing the text. This can be useful for those who do not have access to an editor’s consultation, allowing AI to assist in editing and improving the quality of written material.
As for Google Sheets, the Gemini model will provide assistance with specific tasks such as creating visualizations. The feature called “Help me analyze” promises a wider range of capabilities, helping users understand data, identify trends, and get advice on analysis. This feature will be available later this year.
