Workspace

Google has begun broadly rolling out Pics, its AI image generation and editing app built on Nano Banana, to Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers plus Business and Enterprise Workspace plans. The app supports object segmentation, text translation in 29 languages, and 4K upscaling, with direct integration into Docs and Slides.

Google announced Workspace Intelligence at Cloud Next 2026, integrating Gemini across its productivity suite. The system automates tasks including Google Sheets construction and data entry (claimed 9x faster than manual), document writing in Docs, and cross-app assistance drawing from Gmail, Calendar, Chat, and Drive.

Google is expanding its Gemini-powered 'Take Notes for me' feature beyond virtual meetings to in-person sessions via the Meet mobile app. The company also announced Drive 'Projects' for centralized file organization and Canvas for interactive Sheets visualizations at Cloud Next 2026.
