In October 2020, Google announced that it would rename 'G Suite,' a suite of groupware tools provided in the cloud, to 'Google Workspace.' Not only the name but also the UI has been renewed, and the plan has been announced to significantly enhance the cooperation function between tools.

Javier Soltero, vice president of Google Workspace, revealed on March 2 that Google Assistant is now able to access core features of Google Workspace. Until now, Google has released a beta version of `` Google Assistant for Workspace'' that can use Google Workspace with Google Assistant, but with this announcement the beta version has been abolished and it is now available to the general public. ..

With ' Search and Assistant ' enabled on your smartphone, ask the Google Assistant 'What are your plans for tomorrow?' ...



The Google Assistant will tell you about tomorrow's schedule registered in Google Calendar. In addition to simply checking the schedule, it is possible to set reminders for meeting times and add / cancel / reschedule new schedules from the Google Assistant.



Google Calendar has a new 'Time Insights' that allows you to share your location and working hours within the workplace. With this function, you can share where and what kind of work you are doing with your colleagues, so you can tell your colleagues information such as when you have 'a little free time to consult' even during remote work. On the other hand, if you want to concentrate on your work without being disturbed, you can set 'Focus Time' to temporarily shut out annoying notifications.



Time Insights will be launched in the coming weeks.



Soltero also announced that he will soon implement a 'second screen experience' that allows him to attend Google Meet meetings from multiple devices. This will allow you to use it in new ways, such as 'using Nest Hub Max to have a conversation on Google Meet, while opening a document on your main PC and giving a presentation at a meeting.'



About this feature, Soltero said, 'Especially those who are attending meetings from mobile devices such as smartphones can easily make a big impact on a small screen. Google Meet for mobile splits the screen and picture-in. With picture support, you can now chat and browse Gmail seamlessly. '



In addition to the above, Google Workspace Frontline, which integrates features such as Gmail and Google Drive with custom features that allow you to share data securely, will be added in the coming weeks. Any device for field workers who often have to rely on private devices due to lack of company-provided communication tools, such as nurses, grocery store employees, and warehouse employees. It is said that it will provide a tool that can access information safely.
