Google Assistant has a new feather in their cap – Managing your G suite Calendar
On the latest Cloud Next Conference, Google has announced something new. They have actually launched a new feature for Google Assistant. As per this latest feature, they will now be able to manage your work calendar on G Suite.
Till now, Google Assistant was helping the users to keep track of their personal life. However, now with this new feature, they can sign in to their G suite account and then synchronize the google assistant with it. Post that, it will also be able to address the various questions about your workday. This is a new step and should work across all Google Assistant platforms like car and home Hub.
Currently, the feature will allow the Google assistant to focus on the calendar events on G suite. As on date, you will not be able to create a work-related event solely by using the Assistant. Google, however, clarified that this new feature will assist the Google assistant to actually respond about upcoming events and appointments.
Google till date has always positioned their assistant as a home tool. It has often been referred to as “Google Home “and “home Hub” Now, with this latest feature they can slowly position themselves also as a tool that can be used at a workplace. In the current scenario, where the user’s work and corporate life is overlapping, it makes sense if everything is integrated. That would surely make the user’s life simpler.
Now, this is the first step towards integration. However, we will have to wait and see how Google pulls off the full integration process and what features they introduce over the years.
This is something that only time will tell.
