Alphabet Inc.’s Google has unveiled a number of artificial intelligence (AI) tools for its email, collaboration, and cloud software. The software can draft a marketing blog, training plan, or other text and then revise its tone at users’ discretion, a company official demonstrated to reporters.
Microsoft, on the other hand, has hinted at a Thursday event about how it is “reinventing productivity with AI,” which is anticipated to highlight its rival Word processor.
In addition, Alphabet stated that as part of its update to Google Workspace, a product suite with billions of users across free and paid accounts, its AI will be able to summarize message lines in Gmail, create slide presentations, tailor customer outreach, and take meeting notes.
The developments show how ChatGPT has sparked a race to incorporate artificial intelligence, which learns from past data how to create content afresh.
In an effort to speed up writing and creative chores for office workers, Microsoft, Alphabet, and other companies are investing billions of dollars in developing and deploying the technology.
Similar to Microsoft and the phased release of its chatbot programs, Alphabet is granting authorised test users access to new Workspace features on a rolling basis throughout the year before a broader launch.
Alphabet, which is concerned about potential harm to society as well as possible harm to its image as a trustworthy information source, has lagged behind Microsoft in its generative AI rollout thus far.
The market valuation of Alphabet’s chatbot Bard fell by $100 billion as a result of a factual error it made in a demo last month, according to Reuters. Microsoft’s Bing search chatbot also attracted attention when it professed love or threatened test users.
