Details
A new important step in Google's strategy to increase productivity: Google Workspace has been enriched with a new feature that will delight users who frequently use AI Gemini.
Google Workspace users can now use their own "advanced AI chatbots" in Google Docs, Slides, Sheets, Drive, and Gmail.
Help for those who are not yet familiar with Gems
These are individual AI assistants based on Google Gemini. They can be programmed independently using special instructions.
For example:
- you can teach Gem to help with teaching at school: You can create a Gem that generates lesson plans based on the structure required by your educational institution. To do this, you should specify the subject, topic, and the AI chatbot will find what you need.
- or in learning: you can create a digital tutor that breaks down complex topics into simple explanations.
- and you can also conduct "brainstorms";
- or record, compose, or code something.
So, Gems will be in the sidebar of every Google app you use every day.
Recall
Google has begun the global rollout of the Veo 3 video generation model, which allows creating 8-second videos based on text prompts. Only Google AI Pro subscribers have access to it, with a limit of three videos per day.
The Grok chatbot has received a "memory" function that allows it to remember details of past conversations. This makes responses more personalized, like in ChatGPT and Gemini.
