During the Cloud Next 2024 event, Google announced many new functionalities and AI-powered tools for Google Workspace services like Gmail, Docs, and Drive. From an innovative AI-driven video editor to an enhanced writing assistant in Gmail, here's what's Google announced:

Google Vids: Video editing powered by AI

Google revealed an addition to its workspace app called ‘Google Vids’, an application capable of crafting editable storyboards, selecting video styles, and recommending scenes from stock media like videos, images, and background tunes. Moreover, users can incorporate preset voiceovers or create their own.

Gemini AI boost to Gmail

Voice prompts are being integrated into the 'Help Me Write' feature of the Gmail mobile app, enabling users to compose and send emails using their voice across Android and iOS platforms. Additionally, a new 'instant polish' feature harnesses Gemini AI within Gmail, crafting emails swiftly from rough notes with just a click. These new Gmail features are slated to soon reach Gemini Enterprise and Gemini Business customers, as well as Google One AI Premium subscribers.

Revamped Google Sheets and Docs features

Google Sheets is receiving a tables feature for data formatting and organisation, accompanied by new templates for specific projects such as event planning and inventory management. These enhancements will be accessible across all Workspace plans in the upcoming weeks. As for Google Docs, a revamped tabs experience promises streamlined organisation of related information within documents, coupled with personalisation options like full-bleed cover images for documents. These features will roll out to all users in the coming weeks.
