As is the case in most of the tech industry, the giants of the sector have artificial intelligence as their major bet for the present and the future, so Google was not going to be an exception, of course. A clear example of this is Gemini, the multimodal artificial intelligence of the American firm, whose technology is gradually reaching existing services of those in Mountain View, as you already know. Now, the company has announced several new artificial intelligence features that are preparing to arrive at Workspace and more specifically to Meet, and these will not be free.
In relation to this, Google announced in a recent post on its Workspace blog that all AI innovations they are developing for their different services will be paid. Specifically, the monthly subscription will be $10 per user, which is a standard fee for each of these features. In fact, Google Meet already has some of these innovations, which aim to streamline the work of employees in companies that use these services.
Google Meet will have new and interesting AI-driven features
If you want to enjoy the new features of Gemini in Google Meet, you should know that these new functions, and all the ones announced by the company for all Workspace services, can be added as an add-on to any of the following plans: Business, Enterprise, Frontline, and Nonprofit. Obviously, not all of these functions are available yet. In any case, Google has added the new AI tool “Take notes for me” in Meet, which will take notes during meetings so that users can focus on the conversation itself.
AI will be responsible for summarizing and creating a list of notes about everything that happened in the meeting, regardless of the number of participants. This tool can provide the entire conversation in context and transfer all the important details into a document that can be used as a summary. This feature is already available in Meet, but the service is preparing to receive another exciting update, although it will have to wait a little longer for it.
Google has also announced that, starting in June, its mentioned service will feature “Translate for me”, a function dedicated to automatic and instant translation of subtitles. In fact, this important addition to Meet will be able to translate and transcribe the entire conversation in real time on both screens where the meeting is taking place. It is worth mentioning, in addition, that this artificial intelligence function will be compatible with up to 69 languages, resulting in 4,600 language combinations available. As for the translated transcription of the entire conversation, it can be summarized and downloaded later in a text document.
In addition to all this, Google Meet will also allow the use of generative backgrounds as part of these new artificial intelligence features, as well as the ability to take advantage of adaptive audio benefits. In addition, Google Chat will also have the option to add a watermark when sharing screens and conversation summaries. These additional innovations do not yet have a specific arrival date to these Mountain View programs.
