Summaries in Google Chat home now available for direct messages and read conversations 
Last year, we introduced the ability for Gemini in Google Chat to help you catch up on unread conversations in the Chat home view with summaries. In addition to being available for group conversations, spaces, or threads from home, we’re excited to announce summaries in home are now available for: 
  • Direct messages 
  • Read conversations. Prior to today, you could only review summaries for unread conversations. Now, you can review summaries regardless of read state. 
Upon navigating to a conversation in home, click the “Summarize” button to see a bulleted synopsis of the message content. This enables you to review recent activity across all active conversations to determine where best to focus your time and attention. | Rollout to Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains is complete. | Available to Business Standard, Business Plus, Enterprise Standard and Enterprise Plus. | Visit the Help Center to learn more about summaries in home.

    In October 2024, we introduced Google Drive Inventory Reporting, which provides admins with key metadata about the files in their Drive corpus via a BigQuery report.

This means you can now access the following schema fields concerning permission details for both shared drive and My Drive files:

    We know it’s important for our users to continue maintaining an established phone number and ensure that this number stays associated with them as they move to a Google Workspace business account. For example, a solopreneur with a Voice number might need to carry their number with them to a Workspace domain as their business grows. 

    To solve for this, we’re pleased to introduce a significantly improved experience for transferring a personal Google Voice number to a Google Workspace account. When using Google Voice on the web, you can go directly to “Account Settings” and then to the "Transfer your number to another Voice account" section. Here, you can enter the Voice number you’d like to transfer and the Google Workspace email address it should now be associated with. Once submitted, your admin can accept the transfer.

      After you enter your prompt, you can review the proposed multi-step research plan and revise it as needed. Deep Research will then begin analyzing relevant information from across the web on your behalf, continuously refining its analysis as it learns. Once complete, a comprehensive report of the key findings is generated, which you can export to Google Docs and share with your colleagues. It’s neatly organized with links to the original sources, connecting you to relevant websites and organizations you might not have found otherwise so you can easily dive deeper to learn more. You can also ask follow up questions or refine the report further.
