Google Introduces Duet AI Assistant in Google Workspace: A New Era of Productivity and Efficiency

Google has begun rolling out own artificial intelligence assistant, Duet AI, in its “Google Workspace” services, in a trial version for a limited number of users.

Google announced the Duet AI assistant, which is based on generative artificial intelligence technologies, earlier at the Google l/O 2023 developer conference.

The personal assistant Duet AI is still in the experimental stage, and Google opened the door for users interested in trying it out to register through its website.

Currently, Google has started providing Duet AI to some users, on the condition that they are subscribers of the paid “Google Workspace” services within the United States.

The Duet AI assistant offers several new features within various “Google Workspace” applications, including Google Docs, Google Slides for presentations, Google Sheets for spreadsheets, as well as the video chat application Meet, Gmail for email, and more.

The personal assistant Duet AI can perform various complex tasks with a single click, depending on the application it is working within.

For example, Duet AI can generate images and backgrounds from the text commands entered by the user within the presentation application.

The personal assistant works  in a sidebar that includes a dedicated space for entering text commands.

The user can also choose the desired type of drawing, resulting in 6 to 8 expandable drawings.

When the user clicks on “Show more” and reaches the suitable image, it can be directly inserted into the presentation, as Google explained in a tweet.
