5 Workspace announcements from Google Cloud Next '24

Vids includes a simple, easy-to-use interface and the ability to collaborate and share projects securely from your browser. It's an entirely new app that can help anyone become a great storyteller at work.

Vids will be released to Workspace Labs in June.

2. Automatically translate captions in more languages in Meet

Workspace customers can already turn on translated captions during video calls and select their preferred language, helping Meet users around the world easily communicate. Translate for me in Meet, coming in June, will automatically detect and translate captions into your preferred language. With translate for me, we're adding translated caption support for 52 new languages, bringing the total number of supported languages to 69.

This and more Meet and Chat features - like Take notes for me - will be available in a new AI Meetings and Messaging add-on for $10 per user per month. AI Meetings and Messaging can be added onto select Workspace plans.

3. Protect sensitive files with a new AI Security add-on

There's another new add-on available today: AI Security. This add-on lets IT teams automatically identify, classify and protect sensitive files company-wide in Google Drive. It uses privacy-preserving AI models that can be trained using data unique to your organization, enabling continuous evaluation, classification and protection of existing and new files in Drive. AI Security is now available for select Workspace plans for $10 per user, per month.

4. Better organize information with new Sheets and Docs features

Sheets is getting a new tables feature that formats and organizes data in a sleek, updated design. Select a template from our new set of building blocks - featuring everything from project management to event planning and inventory management - so you never have to build a spreadsheet from scratch again. This feature will be available for all Workspace plans in the coming weeks.
