Google unveils new features for Docs, Gmail and more amid AI race

Google announced Tuesday a new set of artificial intelligence features for its various Workspace apps. 

The generative AI tools include the option to automatically generate drafts based on prompts in Docs and Gmail, as well as the ability to auto-generate images, audio and video for presentations in Slides.
