Google has announced the rollout of its Duet AI assistant across all of its Workspace apps, including Gmail, Drive, Slides and Docs. Duet, introduced at Google's I/O developer conference, offers features such as turning outlines into presentations, generating charts, writing email responses, and finding files in Drive. It also includes app-specific features like AI-based lighting and sound adjustments in Google Meet and automatic thread summaries in Chat.
However, the challenge lies in the imperfection of AI tools, and users are advised to double-check the output. Google's move with Duet is seen as a direct challenge to Microsoft's AI system, Copilot, which offers similar features across Office apps. Both companies believe AI has the potential to revolutionize work processes.
