Google has introduced “Workspace intelligence” at its Cloud Next ’26 conference on Wednesday, April 22.
This new feature aims to connect emails, chats, files and projects across Google Workspace for AI-powered context.
With this intelligence, Google will sync data across Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Drive and Chat, enabling Gemini-powered agents to assess what a user is trying to achieve.
“Ask Gemini in Google Chat” is one of the components, which acts as an integrated command line that facilitates the work.
It allows users to request briefings for the day, create documents and presentations, retrieve files from descriptions and even book meetings, all through Chat itself. This feature works seamlessly with other applications such as Asana, Jira and Salesforce.
Other significant updates are building natural language spreadsheets in Sheets, generating infographics in Docs embedded with business data, and creating a slide map in Slides using company templates.
While introducing the new sync system, Google also emphasized data security. The officials confirmed that Workspace Intelligence operates using infrastructure that is compliant and does not use customer data for advertising or machine learning without their consent.
The implementation includes administrative controls, client-side encryption, and sovereign data control capabilities for both the US and the EU.
In addition, the company also announced its eighth generation of TPU chips.
The new chips provide 2.8x better price-performance and TPU 8i to finish, offers 80% better performance per dollar.
The range of new features is not finished yet and the company is expected to roll out more in the future.
