Background-
Google has rolled out major updates to its Workspace platform, adding new features to help people work faster and more efficiently. The company said the changes will help users cut down on routine tasks and finish daily work more quickly.
The updates bring new tools across Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Chat and Drive. Google has introduced a system called Workspace Intelligence, which pulls data from these apps to help users write emails, create documents and organize files. The company said users can control what data the system can access and switch it off at any time.
One of the key updates is new smart tools for Google Sheets powered by Gemini. Users can now build spreadsheets using simple instructions and fill in data automatically. Google said this can make spreadsheet work nearly nine times faster by cutting manual entry. It can also turn raw data into neat, organized tables.
Google has also upgraded writing tools in Docs. Users can now create, edit and improve documents using basic instructions. The system can also pick up a user’s writing style by learning from past documents and emails.
The company said these tools are meant to reduce repetitive work and improve efficiency at the workplace. It added that the tools will help workers spend more time on important tasks instead of manual formatting and data entry.
Google is up against other big tech firms also building smart office tools. The company said its edge lies in the wide use of Workspace across workplaces around the world, which makes it easier to roll out new features quickly.
