Google's June feature drop brings a boost of Gemini into the Workspace ecosystem. Its latest AI video generation model is being integrated into Slides and Vids, while Gmail, Calendar, and other Workspace apps are getting Gemini's latest smarts.
Veo 3 will now be able to generate high-quality video clips with realistic sound by simply giving it a prompt within Vids and Slides. For instance, if you're working on a DIY or training video and need a shot of a worker wearing a specific item to introduce a safety training or a video on how to safely start a campfire, all users need to do is describe it, and Vids will create it for you.
"To help you create high-quality content, faster, we’re adding powerful new features into Google Slides and Google Vids — our new AI-powered video creation app for work," Google stated in its press release.
Once the video is generated, users can go in and make edits to scripts within every scene and also modify voiceovers if needed.
Google Slides will now showcase several pre-designed templates that will help users select the one that fits their needs while crafting presentations. From project proposals and team meetings to creative portfolios, users can find these templates in the template gallery within Google Slides.
As for the rest of the Workspace apps, Gemini will now be able to access information from Gmail, Drive, Keep, and more, to help you quickly access information across these apps. For instance, if you need a specific document from Drive or want to review your unread emails quickly, Gemini can summarize them for you.
The tech gain is also bringing Gemini Live to Workspace to help users have intuitive conversations, brainstorm ideas, or simply ask Gemini a work-related question. Furthermore, Gemini's Deep Research abilities also come into play. When users upload a large document to Gemini from Google Drive, it can now combine that information with public data to give them a detailed report. It also summarizes key insights and specific facts to give users a fully rounded understanding of the topic.
That said, it is important to note that Google is keeping things private when it comes to Workspace data. The tech giant reiterates that the data won't be used to train its Gemini model, and you are always in control of your privacy settings.
Gemini in Workspace is widely available, and users can give it a spin today.
