Gmail And Docs Will Now Feature AI Chat

With the launch of tools on Tuesday that will let users write text in Gmail and Documents using the company's AI technology, Google is stepping up its drive into generative artificial intelligence.

A small group of users of Workspace, which contains Gmail and Google's productivity tools, are able to access the AI testing goods.

Workspace minimizes the time and effort of composing that first version, according to Johanna Voolich Wright, vice president of item for Google Workspace. "Whether you're a busy Professional who must develop customizable job descriptions, or a parent drawing up the invitation for your child's pirate-themed birthday celebration, Workspace would save you the time and effort of composing that first version," she wrote in a blog post. Simply type the subject you want to write about, and a draft will be created for you right away.

The ChatGPT chatbot, developed by San Francisco startup OpenAI, was debuted in November, and it soon became the most talked-about issue in technology this year. Users can ask questions or make requests on ChatGPT, and the platform responds with surprisingly complex and original responses. Leading technology firms are currently striving to include such capabilities within their own products.

With Google's test, a user may enter "write an email to the team" into a text box in an email and the program will generate a three-paragraph thank-you message that they can amend, expand upon, or format as a bulleted list. The application can be asked to attempt again by the user as well.

Microsoft 365, the productivity suite that was known as Office 365 until October 2022, is Google's main competitor in the market. Microsoft, a significant OpenAI investor, will talk about AI and productivity tools on Thursday at a LinkedIn online event.

According to a Google spokesman who talked with Trade Algo, consumers, along with some business and educational customers, would have early access to the newly released features. The business gave no information on the release date or whether the extra features would be a part of standard packages or charge extra.

Google stated that it intends to introduce more artificial intelligence (AI) features to Workspace later this year, including the creation of formulas in Sheets, the automatic generation of images in Slides, and memo in Meet.

A "code red" alert has recently been implemented by the corporation for workers to respond to ChatGPT. Google announced this month that it would upgrade its renowned internet search engine with AI elements. Also on Tuesday, Thomas Kurian, CEO of Google Cloud, announced that the company has begun testing a tool for creating business chatbots. Workspace is a part of the cloud industry.

"We're really excited about the possibilities that generative AI will open up," Kurian wrote. Kurian claimed that the technology will transform "how businesses operate," allow developers to create new applications, and help people express themselves. constituents.”
