Google presented “Workspace Intelligence” at its Cloud Next ’26 conference on Wednesday, April 22.
This new feature aims to connect emails, chats, files, and projects in Google Workspace for AI-driven context.
Using this intelligence, Google will sync data across Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Drive, and Chat, allowing Gemini agents to assess what a user is trying to accomplish.
“Ask Gemini in Google Chat” is one of the components that works as a built-in command line making work easier.
It allows users to request briefings for the day, create documents and presentations, get files from descriptions, and even book meetings, all through Chat itself. This feature works seamlessly with other apps like Asana, Jira, and Salesforce.
Other significant updates include creating natural language spreadsheets in Sheets, generating infographics in Docs integrated with business data, and creating single-pass slides in Slides using business templates.
When introducing the new synchronization system, Google also focused on data security. Officials confirmed that Workspace Intelligence operates using compliant infrastructure and does not use customer data for advertising or machine learning purposes without their consent.
The deployment includes administrative controls, client-side encryption, and sovereign data control capabilities for the US and EU.
Additionally, the company also announced its eighth generation TPU chips.
The new chips deliver 2.8x better value for money and 8i TPU for inference, delivering 80% better performance per dollar.
The series of new features is not yet complete and the company is expected to roll out more in the future.
