Google: Google unveiled a new repository of updates for its Workspace platform, focusing on the development of AI agents, during the Google Cloud Next 2026 conference.
According to Qatar News Agency, the company introduced a new system called Workspace Intelligence, an intelligent platform that connects data and work context across Google Workspace applications such as Docs, Slides, and Gmail. This innovation aims to reduce the time spent navigating between tools and searching within messages and files.
The system operates by understanding the relationships between content, as well as the nature of projects and cooperation within institutions. This capability allows tasks to be carried out automatically without the need for direct orders.
Google explained that these updates are designed to address information overload within work environments by automating tasks themselves, rather than simply responding to commands.
The Gemini model serves as the core engine of these capabilities, enabling the execution of direct tasks through simple commands without manual intervention. It also facilitates the transformation of initial ideas into professional drafts or complete presentations, while maintaining the company's style and visual identity.
In a related development, Google has expanded its AI Overviews feature to include Gmail and Drive, allowing users to extract focused information from messages and files by asking direct questions, instead of relying on traditional search methods.
The updates also introduce a "Sheets canvas" feature, which allows the creation of interactive applications and dashboards based on data, including data stored in platforms such as Salesforce and HubSpot.
Furthermore, Google is rolling out Skills tools to automate tasks like reviewing and comparing invoices and detecting discrepancies. The Google Vids video creation application has also gained a "digital avatar" feature, enabling the production of customized videos that support 24 languages.
In addition, the company has enhanced the "Take notes for me" feature in Google Meet, extending its capabilities to include note-taking and task assignment during meetings held on platforms like Zoom and Microsoft Teams.
