TL;DR Google has unveiled Workspace Intelligence, a semantic layer that connects Gmail, Docs, and Drive.

Unlike generic chatbots, this version has “institutional memory,” meaning it understands your company’s specific history, project context, and unique professional voice.

Our workdays are often spent not just working, but also searching for a chart hidden in an email or juggling multiple tabs just to answer a simple question. Recently, Google made this easier in your personal life with Personal Intelligence, which lets Gemini search your Gmail and Photos so it automatically knows your travel plans, projects, and preferences without you having to explain.
