Google's Workspace leader Aparna Pappu is stepping down, per an internal memo. "I'm ready for the next opportunity at Google and stepping down from my current role as GM of Workspace," Pappu told staff last week in a memo viewed by Business Insider. Pappu said she would remain in an advisory position for Workspace before transitioning to a new role within Google. Dischler moved to a new role as Google's president of cloud applications earlier this year after 15 years working on Google's ads.

The technology — called Duet AI — will cost just as much as Microsoft's 365 Copilot enhancements, which could become available in the first half of next year. Google began taking preorders for Duet AI for Google Workspace at the $30 per user price in May, but didn't disclose it publicly, Pappu said. In Gmail and Google Docs, users can input a simple text prompt and tell Duet AI to produce a result. One early customer is lingerie brand Adore Me, where employees use Duet AI to prepare copy, a Google spokesperson said. A consumer version of Duet AI for Google Workspace should become available "early next year," Pappu said.

Internal Google data obtained by Insider shows the 109 most powerful people within Google Cloud. We built an interactive org chart of the top execs and staff helping Kurian lead the division. When Insider last mapped out the Google Cloud org chart at the start of 2022, it had around 40,000 employees. The Cloud unit has seen some notable departures and reshuffles in recent months. It's been almost a year since Javier Soltero, the head of Google Workspace, departed and was replaced by Aparna Pappu.
Google is launching "Help me write" an AI-tool that can generate responses to emails in Gmail. Users can deploy the tool to request a refund for a cancelled flight, for example. The tool also includes a "Refine" feature that can tweak the generated message's length and tone. In a demonstration of the tool, Pichai used "Help me write" to respond to an email saying that the recipient's flight got cancelled. These features, which will be available to "trusted testers," will eventually be part of Google's "Duet AI for Workspace" service, according to Pappu.
Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian spent much of his time at a partner meeting talking about Workspace, tweeted Tony Safoian, CEO of Google Cloud partner SADA Systems. "Around the globe, more than nine million paying organizations, and more than three billion users rely on Google Workspace for communication and collaboration. Other major customers like Deutsche Bank use Google Cloud for cloud infrastructure, but Microsoft Office for collaboration software. Forty-four percent of software procurers whose organization plans to or currently uses Microsoft's collaboration software also use Google Workspace, according to the 2022 Forrester study. While Google Cloud is still unprofitable, it has decreased losses to $480 million, down from $890 million last year.
