Google launched DuetAI, a tool that in its own words, under the Cloud ecosystem…

Built on top of Google’s leading large foundation models, Duet AI is specially trained to help you be more productive on Google Cloud. Duet AI in Google Cloud leverages the Vertex AI platform to provide personal and contextualized AI assistance while keeping your data private and secure.”

On the other hand, for the millions of workspace users

Examples of use are…

  • Writing emails: When you’re writing an email, DuetAI can suggest keywords, phrases, and sentences to use. It can also help you proofread your work for grammar and spelling errors.
  • Creating presentations: When you’re creating a presentation, DuetAI can help you organize your ideas and create slides that are visually appealing. It can also help you find relevant images and videos to include in your presentation.
  • Taking notes: When you’re in a meeting, DuetAI can take notes for you. It can also transcribe your meeting so you can focus on the discussion.
  • Attending meetings: If you can’t attend a meeting, DuetAI can attend on your behalf and take notes for you. It can also summarize the meeting for you and identify action items.
  • Managing spreadsheets: When you’re working with a spreadsheet, DuetAI can help you analyze your data and identify trends. It can also help you create charts and graphs to visualize your data.
  • Improve Google Docs: Get help with writing: DuetAI can help you write better documents by suggesting keywords, phrases, and sentences to use. It can also help you proofread your work for grammar and spelling errors. Improve your document structure by suggesting headings, subheadings, and paragraphs. It can also help you identify and remove unnecessary content. Find relevant information from the web and add it to your document.

Summary

DuetAI will allow us to improve our productivity both in Workspace and Cloud. In my opinion, the latter is a great differential, since the learning of this IA is based on the infrastructure itself on which it will help us.
On the other hand, on the workspace side it will make the day to day much easier, giving us that extra hand that is so often needed to be faster while remaining effective.
