Duet AI, which is currently exclusive to Google Workspace for businesses at a cost of $30 per user per month, offers real-time note-taking and generates meeting summaries. Users can also employ the "Attend for Me" feature, enabling the AI to join meetings on their behalf.

Google is also improving the audio and video quality of video conferencing through Duet AI, allowing dynamic tiles with face recognition and real-time translation for 18 languages.
Google's expansion into AI for productivity tools positions it in direct competition with Microsoft, which offers a similar suite of AI tools called Copilot for its Office apps. As AI continues to evolve in workplace applications, both tech giants are pushing the boundaries of what AI can do to enhance productivity.
