Alphabet-owned Google announced a suite of AI tools for email, collaboration and cloud software, setting its sights on Microsoft just days before rivals are expected to make similar announcements. The AI tools will be able to summarize Gmail message threads, create slide presentations, personalize customer interactions and take meeting notes. This is part of an upgrade to Google Workspace, a product suite with billions of users across free and paid accounts. Microsoft is also expected to showcase competing word processors at their event on Thursday.
