Google Adds Generative AI to Gmail and Docs, Provides API for Developers

Google announced on Tuesday that it is enabling access to its Large Language Model (LLM) through an application programming interface (API) for select developers, as well as generative artificial intelligence (AI) in Gmail and Google Docs. Integrating the facilities as part of your workspace. Suite for select users. The new test adds a number of experiments to several Google tools that are used by businesses and consumers alike, which Google Cloud chief executive Thomas Kurian said will be expanded through the year.

“Developers and businesses can now try new APIs and products that make it easy, secure and scalable to start building with the best of Google’s AI models through Google Cloud and a new prototyping environment called MakerSuite. And in Google Workspace, we’re introducing new features that help people harness the power of generative AI to create, connect and collaborate,” Kurian said in a blog post detailing the new features. Said.

These new features begin with the PaLM API and MakerSuite, two developer-focused features that will allow users to build and test products and prototypes using Google’s language model. The PALM API is currently accessible to developers in the ‘efficient’ version, and going forward the complexities of the language model will increase. MakerSuite, meanwhile, will be a developer environment that will allow those building apps using Generative AI to quickly test engineering and test the results from their Generative AI experiments.

Google is also adding generative AI capabilities to Vertex AI, a platform used in AI and ML application development. Google is offering developers access to its Foundation model of generative AI through Vertex, which will initially offer text and image generation capabilities to enterprise customers of Google Cloud. Going forward, Google will also enable audio and video recording capabilities.

Developers also have the ability to use the AI ​​API to build their own chat applications, which have just been opened up to select developers.

Finally, workspace applications like Google Docs and Gmail are getting generative AI capabilities. Select consumers and businesses will now have access to a text generation tool within the Mail or Docs app, where they can simply ask to type a specific paragraph, and Google will generate it, similar to the way OpenAI’s ChatGPT works.

These announcements follow the launch of ChatGPT in November last year, which has fueled the popularity of generative AI tools – ChatGPT alone has added over 100 million users. Since then, Microsoft, a major investor in OpenAI, has used it to build a generative AI version of its Bing search engine. Google also sought to replicate this with the launch of its generative AI tool Bard on February 7.
