On Google Search

The feature takes search queries and uses AI to generate snapshots of key information, along with links for further exploration and suggested next steps. Users can then engage in a new conversational mode where they can ask Google more about the topic.

17. Google is also testing a Perspectives filter in Search results, which lets users exclusively see firsthand or expert information from forums, social media sites, and video-sharing communities. With this feature, users can benefit from the experiences of others to inform their search results.
Workspace and Office
18. Google Workspace users have benefited from AI features in the past year, as they were able to write over 180 billion times with the help of AI. But this is just the beginning, as the company is now expanding the power of generative AI to all of the Workspace apps with Duet AI for Google Workspace.
19. Gmail users will soon be able to enjoy the benefits of AI-generated responses that take the context of email threads into consideration, making it easier to respond to messages on mobile devices.

21. In Meet, Google is introducing unique background generation for video calls, and Docs is receiving smart chips, variables, and templates to improve assisted writing. Users will soon see refined spell check and grammar suggestions in Docs, as well as a new proofread suggestion pane that helps with concise writing, avoiding repetition, and using a more formal or active voice.
