Tech giant Google showed off its latest artificial intelligence (AI) tools this week at the CES 2024 trade show in Las Vegas.
Google’s booth offered a glimpse of AI-powered features across the Google and Android ecosystem – including generative AI tools for both creative and work-use cases.
Duet AI, which is integrated across Google Workspace and Google Cloud, is a generative AI tool that can be used for summarizing content and drafting emails, lists or data sets.
The exhibit featured an example in which the user sought Duet AI’s help in drafting an apology letter for missing a friend’s birthday.

Duet AI’s integration into Google Sheets allows users to fill out a spreadsheet based on their prompts. Google also offers Duet AI for developers and for security functions.
The Duet AI assistant is available to Workspace subscribers for an extra charge of $30 for each user.
The booth also shed light on features available to Android users such as the experimental Magic Compose, which is currently in a limited availability beta.
WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)?
Embedded in Google Messages, Magic Compose uses generative AI to offer suggested responses based on the context of a conversation with others in the app.
It can also be used to revise text written by the user into a different style, such as making the message "lyrical" or "Shakespearean" if a user wants.
Google’s CES exhibit also featured Magic Editor, which was made available on select Pixel phones late last year.
Users can erase unwanted objects from photos by circling or brushing them, move objects by tapping and dragging them across the photo, resize them by pinching, or improve the background lighting.

Video editing is also getting an AI-aided boost with YouTube Create, a beta feature currently available on Android that allows users to add captioning automatically and clean up audio, as well as filters and other effects. YouTube Create also contains a library of royalty-free music and sound effects.
