Google has officially launched Duet AI, a powerful workspace assistance tool designed for enterprises. This comes after the company previously announced Duet AI as the brand for generative AI in Google Workspace and Cloud. Google Workspace, which now boasts 10 million paying customers, has seen an increase from 9 million earlier this year. With over 3 billion users, Google is now ready to offer Duet AI as a paid service for enterprises.
During the Trusted Tester program, Duet AI garnered over 1 million users. Following pre-orders for businesses in June, the general availability of Duet AI has been made possible. The initial offering of Duet AI is aimed at enterprise customers of Google Workspace and is priced at $30 per month per user. Google plans to introduce additional tiers and pricing plans for consumers, small and medium-sized businesses, and other users in the coming months. This move aligns with Microsoft’s own offering, Microsoft 365 Copilot, which was announced in July and is priced similarly.
Additionally, Google provided a preview of the Duet AI sidekick UI, which will be available as a chatbot located next to users’ profile avatars in Gmail, Docs, and Slides. This feature will assist users in their daily tasks by allowing them to simply ask Duet AI to perform various functions. For example, a financial analyst who receives an urgent request for a presentation on Q3 performance can simply ask Duet AI to create a summary of Q3 performance based on relevant content in their Drive and Gmail accounts. Duet AI will then generate a new presentation complete with text, charts, and images, saving valuable time and effort.
While the focus of the announcement is primarily on enterprise customers, it remains to be seen how Duet AI will be incorporated into personal Google Accounts. Google has not provided specific details regarding this aspect.
In conclusion, Google has officially launched Duet AI, a powerful workspace assistance tool, for enterprise customers of Google Workspace. This AI-powered tool aims to enhance productivity and efficiency by automating various tasks such as generating presentations based on relevant content. As Google continues to develop and expand Duet AI, it is clear that the company is committed to providing valuable solutions for its users across various sectors.
