A new AI Meetings and Messaging add-on
AI features like Take Notes for Me (now in preview) let you drop the pen and lean into the conversation instead of taking notes. Translate for Me (coming in June) will automatically detect and translate captions in Meet with support for 69 languages (equal to 4,600 language pairs), helping people feel more confident and connected to their colleagues, regardless of language. And later this year we’ll launch automatic translation of messages and on-demand conversation summaries in Google Chat.
At Pepperdine University, these features enable meetings and learning in multiple languages: “The captioning within Google Meet is going to be a huge game changer in extending equity and accessibility, especially for those with language barriers…With Gemini for Google Workspace, we can now quickly transcribe meeting minutes within Google Docs and summarize them in a succinct way to share with our users.” — Jonathan See, CIO, Pepperdine University
We’re making all of this available today in a new AI Meetings and Messaging add-on for just $10 per user, per month, and it can be added to most Workspace plans.
A new AI Security add-on
Data privacy and security continue to be top of mind in the era of generative AI, with data breaches increasing by 20% last year. Unlike traditional email and productivity solutions, Gmail and Workspace were built from the very beginning on a cloud-native architecture, rooted in zero-trust principles, and augmented with AI-powered threat defences. That’s why Gmail blocks more than 99.9% of spam, phishing attempts, and malware from reaching your inbox. And now, using large language models, we’re blocking an additional 20% more spam in Gmail and can evaluate 1,000 times more user-reported spam in Gmail every day.
To help businesses of all sizes keep up with the evolving security landscape, today we’re making available a new AI Security add-on for $10 per user, per month that allows IT teams to automatically classify and protect sensitive files company-wide in Google Drive. This capability uses privacy-preserving AI models trained using data unique to your organization, enabling continuous evaluation, classification, and protection of existing and new files in Drive, for all of your employees, including frontline workers.
Because the job of security is never done, we’re also continuing to innovate to help you keep your data safe and make Gmail the most secure email for business. To that end, we’re extending DLP controls and classification labels to Gmail in beta. To help protect your most sensitive data against quantum computer attacks, we’re adding experimental support for post-quantum cryptography (PQC) in client-side encryption together with our partners, including Thales and Fortanix.
More improvements coming to Workspace
We’re also continuing to improve and add capabilities to existing Workspace and Gemini features, including:
● Voice prompting and instant polish in Gmail: Send emails easily when you’re on the go with voice input in Help Me Write, and convert rough notes to a complete email with one click.
● New building blocks and notifications in Sheets: Our new tables feature (generally available in the coming weeks) do the heavy lifting to format and organize data with a sleek design. Select a template from our new set of building blocks — from project management to event planning — so you never have to build a spreadsheet from scratch again. We’re also introducing conditional notifications: automatic alerts based on custom triggers like a change in a status field.
● Tabs and personalization in Docs: Now with tabs, you can organize information in a single document instead of linking to multiple documents or searching through Drive to find what you’re looking for. We’re also making it easy for you to personalize documents with full bleed cover images that extend from one edge of your browser to the other. Both features will be generally available in the coming weeks.
● Increased member capacity and interoperability in Chat: Increased member capacity of up to 500,000 in spaces will be generally available in the coming weeks. We’re also streamlining everyday communication with the general availability of messaging interoperability for Slack and Teams through our partner Mio.
