Google’s new Workspace Intelligence brings generative AI into Workspace apps, using content from Gmail, Drive, Calendar, Chat, Docs, and Slides to provide context-aware suggestions and task automation via features like Ask Gemini. Google says these capabilities run on Workspace’s secure, compliant infrastructure with per-user permissions, admin controls, DLP integration, regional data residency, and optional client-side encryption to ensure data governance and that customer data isn’t used to train external models or for advertising. #WorkspaceIntelligence #GoogleWorkspace
