During the Cloud Next 2026 event, Google introduced Workspace Intelligence, an AI-based system integrated into its office applications. This system includes new AI features in applications like Drive, Sheets, and Meet. Let's take a closer look at these innovations.
What is Workspace Intelligence?
Workspace Intelligence is an AI system integrated into Google's office applications. Aiming to provide automated support for users' various tasks, this system operates using data from Gmail, Calendar, and Drive. Additionally, users can control what data this system can access and have the option to disable it if desired.
Spreadsheets and New Features
Among the innovations, the ability to create spreadsheets with Gemini stands out. Users can now quickly create their spreadsheets by giving commands, which increases manual entry speed by 9 times. Furthermore, with the new Canvas tool, users can create interactive visualizations.
AI Support in Documents
Thanks to the AI writing tools added to Google Docs, users can easily create and edit their documents with Gemini. These features provide significant convenience for users in editorial tasks.
Note-Taking Feature and Innovations on Projects
The “Take Notes for me” feature offered through Google Meet has also become available for physical meetings. Last month, the number of participants using this feature exceeded 110 million. Additionally, with the projects feature added to Google Drive, it becomes possible to manage your files more systematically.
New Skills and Automated Scanning Features
The skills offered in Workspace Studio can be used to automate complex tasks. Automated scanning features developed for Chrome Enterprise users are also among the notable innovations.
All these updates are expected to be available in the coming weeks. How these innovations will be integrated into business processes remains a topic of interest.
