Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

Thank you, Mr. Air, a netizen of CTOnews.com, for your clue delivery! CTOnews.com, March 14, Google announced a series of upcoming generative artificial intelligence features for its various workspace applications, including Google Docs (documents), Gmail, Sheets (tables) and Slides (slides).

These features include a new way to generate, summarize, and brainstorm text using artificial intelligence in Google Docs (similar to OpenAI's ChatGPT), the ability to generate full emails in Gmail based on brief user points, and the ability to generate AI images, audio, and video in slides to illustrate presentations (similar to both Microsoft Designer driven by OpenAI's DALL-E and Canva driven by Stable Diffusion).

This shows that Google is eager to catch up with rival Microsoft in the new artificial intelligence competition. Although Google has announced a series of new features, only the first feature, the artificial intelligence writing tool in Docs and Gmail, will be available to some "trusted testers" in the United States this month. Google said these and other features would be available to the public later this year, but did not specify when.

Here is a complete list of artificial intelligence features that Google has announced will appear in Workspace applications in the future:

Draft, reply, summarize and prioritize your Gmail

Brainstorming, proofreading, writing and rewriting in documents

Use the automatically generated pictures, audio and video in the slides to turn your creative ideas into reality

In Sheet, insights and analysis are obtained from raw data through automatic filling, formula generation and context classification.

Generate a new background and capture notes in Meet

Enable the workflow in chat to complete the task

Of all the new features, artificial intelligence writing and brainstorming tools in Docs and Gmail seem to have the most potential (see chart above). The prompt "write for me" appeared, and the user entered a request: "Job of regional sales representative." The AI system then completed their work specification in a matter of seconds, allowing them to edit and refine the text.

Google elaborated on these potential features in its press release: "whether you are a busy HR professional who needs to create a custom job description or a parent to draft an invitation for your child's pirate-themed birthday party, Workspace saves you the time and effort of writing the first edition. Just type in the topic you want to write and a draft will be generated for you immediately. With your collaborative Al partner, you can continue to refine and edit and get more advice as needed. "

Similarly, users can rewrite or extend text using the AI tool. 'you might simply list some key points about the work meeting, 'Google said. Google Docs can extend it to a "more elaborate summary" where users can manually specify the tone (for example, whether it should be "more fantasy" or "formal"). In a video demo, Google shows how to use AI to write personalized marketing messages for customers, convert key points into a complete email, and summarize a long list of email chains in Gmail.

Google's artificial intelligence tools in Gmail are worth noting that Microsoft is rumored to be incorporating similar features into its Office application suite, including Word, Teams and Outlook. Google was unnerved by the new Bing launched by Microsoft this year, and Satya Nadella, Microsoft's chief executive, described artificial intelligence-assisted search as a new model that could remove Google from its throne. However, it seems that the two companies will also compete in productivity software. Microsoft has arranged an event that will detail its "the Future of working with artificial Intelligence" on March 16.

Of course, the rush to launch artificial intelligence products also has its dangers. AI text generators are notoriously unreliable and often confidently fabricate false information. As Google integrates the technology into its enterprise software, these flaws could cause major problems. CTOnews.com noted that in today's press release, Google provided a standard disclaimer: "sometimes artificial intelligence goes wrong, sometimes it pleases you with something non-mainstream, and many times it needs guidance."
