Google renamed its Google for Work application as G Suite and also updated its Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, and Slides app with machine learning features. As a result of the update, cloud-based Google Drive now gets the Quick Access feature that shows important documents at the top, inside the app.Google Calendar will now be using machine intelligence to suggest the best time to meet friends and colleagues to users automatically. "And, when the list of invitees grows long and no times are available, Calendar will suggest times across the group where the conflicts are easiest to resolve, such as recurring 1:1 meetings,"The company will also be integrating the technology into Google Sheets to show a textbox where users can type anything and receive answers automatically. As for Google Docs, a new Explore tab will show related topics, images, and other content to users. The tab can also be used in Docs to search for documents on Google Drive.
