Google said customers can fine-tune its AI model with their own data while keeping the information and benefits proprietary. Google also unveiled a range of generative AI tools for its cloud-computing customers, for instance previewing access to PaLM, one of its most powerful 'large language models' that create human-like text. Kurian declined to say how much the upgraded Workspace might cost businesses or consumers. 'This next phase is where we're bringing human beings to be supported with an AI collaborator, who is working in real time,' Thomas Kurian, Chief Executive of Google Cloud, said in a press briefing.Īlphabet is giving approved test users access to new Workspace features on a rolling basis throughout the year, before a wider launch, similar to it and Microsoft's phased release of their chatbot programs.

Microsoft, Alphabet and peers are investing billions of dollars to build and deploy the technology, hoping business they win from speeding up writing and creative tasks for office workers will far outweigh the costs of these endeavors. The advances reflect how ChatGPT has spurred a race in Silicon Valley to imbue products with so-called generative AI, which learns from past data how to create content anew, just like the chatbot sensation. Microsoft, meanwhile, has teased a Thursday event about how it is 'reinventing productivity with AI,' which is expected to showcase its competing Word processor.Īlphabet also said its AI will be able to summarize message threads in Gmail, craft slide presentations, personalize customer outreach and take meeting notes as part of its upgrade to Google Workspace, a product suite with billions of users on free and paid accounts. In a replay of last month's dueling chatbot launches by the tech giants, Alphabet touted a 'magic wand' for its popular Google Docs software that can draft a marketing blog, training plan or other text, then revise its tone at users' discretion, a company official demonstrated to reporters. PALO ALTO, California, March 14 (Reuters) - Alphabet Inc's (GOOGL.O) Google on Tuesday unveiled a flurry of artificial intelligence (AI) tools for its email, collaboration and cloud software, taking aim at Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O) days before its rival is expected to make a similar announcement.
