Hello all!

Welcome to the 26-27 Schoolyear!  Google is off to a solid start with plenty of Workspace updates.  Check out all updates here: https://workspaceupdates.googleblog.com/ 

The following are our two favorites ⭐️

Interoperability with Gemini tools across Workspace.  It is a legit game-changer!  I can summon all of my Workspace tools in my different accounts to reference and summarize material across the entire Workspace.  The agentic feel of this is really evident in how efficient the tool is as my assistant.  This is almost a dream come true; I have always wanted help to stay organized!

Another favorite is the take note -  feature: https://workspaceupdates.googleblog.com/2026/08/take-notes-with-me-for-in-person-meetings-is-now-ava...

Speaking of special, assistant agents....use this tool to streamline your meetings and never miss a beat.  Be sure to follow all recording laws in your jurisdiction.  

Which one is your favorite?  Try out some new things and let us know.

Have a great week everyone~
