Google I/O 2022: Ever since people started working from home, and now with some at office, the use of Google Docs, Google Chat, and Google Meet has increased at a rapid pace. In order to make your work even easier, Google has announced certain updates to its workspace apps like Docs, Meet, among others at Google I/O 2022. "We’ve been working on finding more ways to use machine learning to fight information overload and keep you feeling productive. Here are seven upcoming features — most made possible by AI — on their way to Google Workspace," Google said in a blog post.

Google introduced automated summarization for Google Docs using which it will automatically parse the words and pull out the main points. "Just as we’re using AI to improve features in YouTube, we’re building it into our Workspace products to help people be more efficient. Whether you work for a small business or a large institution, chances are you spend a lot of time reading documents. Maybe you’ve felt that wave of panic when you realize you have a 25-page document to read ahead of a meeting that starts in five minutes. That’s why we’ve introduced automated summarization for Google Docs. Using one of our machine learning models for text summarization, Google Docs will automatically parse the words and pull out the main points," Google said.

Google is also launching summarization for other products in Workspace. It will come to Google Chat in the next few months, providing a helpful digest of chat conversations, so you can jump right into a group chat or look back at the key highlights. Google further announced that it is working to bring transcription and summarization to Google Meet as well so you can catch up on some important meetings you missed.
