The AI briefing works automatically before meetings. It scans linked documents, emails, and past chats. It then creates a short summary. This summary highlights key points and action items. Users see this summary right before their meeting starts. The goal is saving preparation time. People can join meetings better informed.
Google says the tool understands context. It identifies important discussion topics. It also flags unresolved questions from previous talks. Users get a clear picture of meeting goals. This helps meetings stay focused and productive. The AI works within existing Google security rules. User data remains private.
Some users worry about AI accuracy. Google states the tool is designed for reliability. It pulls information from trusted sources like meeting invites and Drive files. Users can still review all source material. The AI summary is just a starting point.
The AI briefing feature is rolling out now. It will be available to Google Workspace customers. This includes business and education users. Access might depend on specific Workspace plans. Google expects broad availability soon. The feature supports multiple languages. It integrates with Google Calendar and Meet.
