Introducing the next wave of AI innovation in Workspace

The abundance of emails, numerous meetings, and a multitude of tasks to address can make work appear overwhelming. Imagine having an intelligent and immediate collaborative companion that significantly alleviates this load. Duet AI offers you the opportunity to concentrate on the essential, as it manages the rest effectively.

So let’s see how Duet AI can help you in your daily life. Imagine you’re a financial analyst and you get an email at 5 PM from your supervisor, requesting a presentation on Q3 performance by 8 AM tomorrow – a situation familiar to many. Instead of rushing through data in spreadsheets, profit and loss documents, slides from monthly business reviews, and emails, you will soon have the option to simply ask Duet AI to take on the demanding tasks. A simple prompt such as “create a summary of Q3 performance” will suffice. Duet AI is capable of generating an entirely new presentation with text, graphs, and visuals, based on your relevant content in Drive and Gmail. What was once a last-minute request that typically led to an all-night work session can now be accomplished before dinner time.

Meetings you’ll love — even the ones you miss

For many of us, our days are filled with meetings and it can be exhausting to attend so many, or worse, try to catch up on the ones we miss. What if there was a way for Duet AI to make our meetings less fatiguing and more fulfilling?

The most important part of any meeting is being clearly seen, heard, and understood. However, hindrances can arise, such as camera and audio quality issues, weak internet connection, or language barriers. Google is integrating Duet AI into Google Meet to ensure that you present yourself the best way with studio look, studio lighting, and studio sound. Addressing the challenge of remote participants struggling to view everyone in the meeting room or colleagues appearing distant and unfocused, Google is introducing dynamic tiles and face detection. These advancements provide attendees in the meeting room with individual video tiles with their names. Additionally, Google is introducing automatically translated captions for 18 languages. Meet will automatically detect when another language is spoken and display the translation in real time.

To enhance your participation in meetings, Google is streamlining the task of note-taking and post-meeting recaps. Through the innovative “take notes for me” function powered by Duet AI, real-time capturing of notes, action items, and video snippets becomes effortless. Following the meeting, Duet AI will generate a concise summary and circulate it to participants. Moreover, fot a latecomers the “summary so far” feature offers a swift overview of the proceedings they missed. But what if you are unable to attend the meeting yet still wish to contribute? With the “attend for me” feature, Duet AI can join the meating, conveying your message and ensuring you get the recap.

Staying connected just got easier

Not every conversation needs a meeting; some interactions occur while you’re on the move. A swift chat is all it takes to link up with your team or resolve an issue. Google Chat has taken steps to make this process significantly smoother by introducing a refreshed user interface, new shortcut options, and improved search functionality. These updates empower you to effectively manage your conversations. Moreover, you now have the ability to engage directly with Duet AI through chat. This allows you to ask questions about your content, get a summary of documents shared in a space, and catch up on missed conversations.

When you need to talk it through in real time, you can switch to voice in an instant with huddles in Chat. These huddles are audio-centric, unplanned calls, which enable distributed teams to come together in real time without having to jump into a separate scheduled meeting. Moreover, Google is simplifying the process of creating larger communities within Chat by enabling support for up to 500,000 participants. And for situations where you need to quickly respond to time-sensitive emails while on the move or deeply engrossed in a critical task, Google is enhancing the smart reply feature in Gmail using Duet AI. This advancement enables you to effortlessly compose more comprehensive and personalized responses with just a single tap.

A refreshed user interface and huddles in Chat can make it easier to connect with your team and come together in real time for impromptu gatherings.
