Google today unveiled a range of updates to its Workspace productivity apps aimed at easing the workflow of remote teams. Among the features announced at the company’s I/O event are auto-generated text summaries of chat conversations to help keep team members on the same page.
The summary feature was rolled out in February to Google’s Docs word processing tool, where it is used to generate an overview of text within a document. The company today extended the summaries to Workspace “Spaces” — the chat rooms that enable conversations and file sharing for a specific purpose, such as a particular team or project.
