New AI Features from Google for Workspace
Google has unveiled a set of updates for Workspace that introduce innovative artificial intelligence features for corporate clients. One of the standout capabilities is the creation of podcasts from documents in Google Docs.
This feature was initially launched in NotebookLM in the fall of 2024 but was previously unavailable in Ukraine. Now, it will be accessible to Workspace users globally. The AI will not only narrate text but also generate a podcast featuring two hosts discussing the content.
While Google has not yet disclosed the supported languages, the feature is expected to be available soon.
Additionally, there will be a Help me refine tool that acts as a personal AI editor, offering suggestions to enhance the written text. This feature is anticipated to roll out in the coming months.
In Google Sheets, a new Help me analyze feature will also be introduced. Gemini will analyze data within the sheets, generate illustrative charts, and identify trends. This functionality is planned for release by the end of 2025.
