It’s been a big year for Google AI. It may seem that features like Circle to Search and NotebookLM’s Audio Overviews have been around for as long as you can remember, but they only launched in 2024. Joining them were a slew of other product releases and updates meant to make your day-to-day life even a little bit easier. Take a look at some of the top Google AI news stories that resonated with readers in 2024.
Available in open beta: migrate messages from Microsoft Teams to Google Chat
Google is expanding its data migration experience to include the ability for Google Workspace admins to migrate conversations from channels in Microsoft Teams to spaces in Google Chat, making it easier for organizations to onboard and deploy Chat.
Control whether your users can add account recovery information with two new admin settings
Google is launching two new settings that will allow admins to control whether their users can add recovery email information and phone information to their Workspace account. By default, the ability to add a recovery email or phone number is ON for most Workspace users and K-12 super admins. Adding recovery information is OFF by default for K-12 users, and phone number recovery collection is always enabled for super admins regardless of whether it’s disabled in the admin console. Any changes admins make to these settings will overrule the existing organizational unit settings, except for super admins.
Now generally available: Monitor and manage AppSheet usage in your organization with the AppSheet Admin console
All Google Workspace Admins with the AppSheet service privilege can now access the AppSheet Admin Console. The AppSheet Admin console is a consolidated location to monitor, manage and govern AppSheet across your organization. Previously, the AppSheet Admin Console was only available to those with an AppSheet Enterprise Plus license in public preview, but now any admin with sufficient privileges has access to monitor and manage their users.
