Through our Google Workspace Labs initiative, we’ve tested Duet AI features extensively with
hundreds of thousands of users, who leveraged these tools to help them get things done at work
and in their personal lives — including with client outreach emails, job postings, project plans,
time-saving summaries, and more — and we are now ready to roll out Duet AI in Google Workspace
to organizations. Duet AI can:

What is AI and how AI, or artificial intelligence, is a broad term that encompasses
is it different from a wide range of technologies that enable machines to mimic
generative AI? human cognitive functions. Generative AI is an advanced
subset of AI that focuses on the ability to create and modify
content, such as text, images, and other content.
How it works
Currently, most generative AI models are primarily language-driven, meaning people can use simple,
conversational language in their interactions with the models. Duet AI uses two main models:
generative language and generative imagery.
Generative language models learn about patterns in language through training data, by being
exposed to enormous amounts of text in many different formats and used in different contexts.
Given a text prompt, they predict what comes next through inference, and are used to create
text-to-text content to help people write, summarize, and respond in apps like Gmail and Docs.
Generative image models produce new images using techniques like diffusion, which means the
model learns by deconstructing a large number of images into noise, and then mapping noise back
to images. Given a prompt or related imagery, they resolve noise into a correlated image, creating
text-to-image content that can help people in Google Slides and Google Meet.
Two techniques that help people guide both of these types of models toward useful output are
prompting and fine-tuning.

good prompt

will help Duet AI to better understand the context of your prompt.
Duet AI can immediately and positively impact how teams and individuals
do day-to-day work. As an example, think of a sales team prospecting
customers in a new region. With Duet AI, this team can now use AI-generated
transcripts from Meet video calls with potential customers to automatically
create custom sales pitches for each prospect, using the transcriptions of their
conversations as prompts. In that scenario, the team would save many hours
they would have spent writing documents, and be able to focus on what really
matters — closing the deals.
These are some of the many ways Duet AI in Workspace can help teams work
and collaborate better, and create additional value for organizations. In the next
section, we’ll look more closely at five Duet AI use cases to make work better.

1 Help me write
Help me write is ideal for creating content from scratch. This feature is perfect for when it feels
daunting to stare at a blank page. You can provide an initial prompt about the topic you want to write
about and let Duet AI create an initial draft for you. It can also help refine existing content, adjusting
for length, tone, and style.

You can use Duet AI's help me organize capability to create a custom template in Sheets by simply
describing what you're trying to accomplish and Sheets will generate a table that helps you get
organized. Duet AI classifies data by understanding the context of that data in a cell and labeling
it. This frees you up for more critical tasks than manual data input.

Imagine a sales leader has learned that a potential customer is looking to change providers
and has to bring the team together to get a proposal created on the same day. With Duet AI:
• The team defines roles and responsibilities in a Meet call. They then receive a transcript
of the meeting.
• They use Duet AI in Docs to organize the transcript per action item owners, who then use
Duet AI to create a project tracker in Sheets, write a sales proposal in Docs, build a slide
deck in Slides, and draft the email to initiate the engagement with the customer in Gmail.
• To help the team move fast, Duet AI can provide summaries of email threads in Gmail, so
everyone stays on top of communications and knows what to do next.
• With Duet AI, the team went from internal chat to outreach in a few hours instead of days.

Duet AI helps sellers quickly generate different types of sales materials, freeing up their time
to focus on strategy and relationship building:
• With help me write, sellers managing multiple accounts can use Duet AI in Gmail to
write customized outreach, follow-up emails, and cold emails so they can focus on
relationship management instead of creating documentation.
• With simple prompts, Duet AI helps sellers create sales presentations in Slides, sales
scripts, customer pitches, and discussion guides in Docs, customer trackers in Sheets,
and more. This allows them to reallocate precious time to sourcing and closing deals.

Sellers can also individually use Duet AI as personal assistants to help track their work better
with summaries, help me write, and help me organize:
• Duet AI can help individual sellers organize their work by creating custom trackers in
Sheets. They can ask Duet AI to create tables for leads, negotiation status, pipeline,
revenue, and other information relevant to their individual workstreams.
• Duet AI can summarize hours-long sales calls on Google Meet. Simply take the
transcript and ask Duet AI to summarize it in Docs. Sellers can then use the content of
the summary to prompt Duet AI to create follow-up messages on Gmail within minutes
of the call ending. This helps sellers keep track of all customer conversations, removes
the need for note-taking, and saves time on email writing.

Duet AI can help sales teams make every potential customer feel seen with customized
RFP responses. With help me write, help me organize, and help me visualize, Duet AI can
generate unique RFP responses and proposals:
• Use Duet AI in Slides to create customized imagery for slide decks to respond to
customers' RFPs. Help me visualize can create specific images that are relevant to
each customer’s industry and needs, which can help add a special touch and build
the relationship.
• Use Duet AI in Sheets to structure and organize customers' public data, such as the
latest earnings, business priorities, and competitors, making it easier to learn about
the customers. Then use Duet AI’s help me write in Docs to write sales scripts and
pitches that tie the customer's needs to available solutions.

Marketing
Imagine a social media team with a short window to jump on the latest social trend. With Duet AI:
• Copywriters, designers, and channel owners can use a Google Meet call to
brainstorm and make decisions. They then get a transcript of the meeting.
• The team can use Duet AI in Docs to organize the transcript per action item owners,
who can then prompt Duet AI to create a project tracker in Sheets, several versions
of copy in Docs, and visual concepts in Slides for the posts.
• To help the team move fast, Duet AI can provide summaries of email threads in Gmail,
so everyone stays on top of communications and knows what to do next.
• With Duet AI, the team can go from first chat to first post in hours instead of days.

Duet AI in Docs helps marketers quickly generate large amounts of marketing copy and find
the winning messages faster.
• With help me write, prompt Duet AI in Docs to generate large volumes of high-quality
copy for digital ads, meta content for SEO, social post captions, and email campaigns.
• Simply tell Duet AI what you’re looking for and let it start writing for you. For example:
write 250-character paid social copy about home insurance for millennials, or write a
five-step email nurture cadence for Gen-Z free-trialers of a subscription service.
• Marketers can now spend more time on high-impact work, such as deploying tests and
experiments, and measuring results to find the highest performing content mix faster
and yield better performance across channels.

With help me visualize, Duet AI can generate visual concepts in an instant, helping creative
teams move faster and at lower cost.
• Teams can generate visual concepts for mood boards, digital ads, print ads, out-of-
home billboards, and many other formats by prompting Duet AI in Slides (e.g. pickup
truck driving on Highway 1), reducing creative development costs while speeding up
campaign timelines.

Use the power of integrated Google Workspace apps and Duet AI to go from an email
thread to a large-scale customized email campaign in a few hours.
• Marketing teams can use Gmail to ask Sales for recommendations on who to
invite for an upcoming event. Duet AI can summarize the email thread with the
suggested names.
• Then, Duet AI can automatically create a list of guests in Sheets, and be used to
write customized invitations in Docs for each individual invitee. This saves time
and increases the likelihood of positive RSVPs.
• Similarly, email marketing managers can use Duet AI to create 1:1 personalized
nurture, upsell, or follow-up emails for hundreds or even thousands of contacts
across different customer datasets in Sheets.

Customer services
With Duet AI, customer support doesn’t have to wonder if responses to customers are
grammatically correct, too formal, or too casual. Duet AI can act as a personal
copywriter and ensure the writing is always on point.
• Help me write in Docs lets customer support professionals specify text tonality,
check grammar, and adjust outputs to meet the organization's standards for
consistency and clarity.
• Customer service teams can use combinations of auto-respond and help me write
in Gmail to align all emails to a more formal or casual tone of voice across external
communications, based on the organization, so customer service representatives
don’t have to worry about writing style.

Duet AI can also help customer service representatives handle high volumes of inbound
requests in less time, decrease response time, increase the number of resolved cases, and
ultimately increase customer satisfaction.
• Customer support reps can use Duet AI to organize and summarize inquiries with help
me write in Docs to get to the core of the customer's request, then use help me write
again to generate answers that can be refined as needed. This saves time and helps
cases get resolved faster. It can also help keep FAQs up to date.
• For support provided over email, Duet AI can help answer more inquiries by writing
complete responses to be reviewed by the customer support representatives. That
can help decrease response time and increase the average number of resolved
issues per representative.

Customer service teams can use Duet AI’s features to structure data for ease of reading
and learning.
• With Duet AI, customer service teams can use help me organize in Sheets to structure
and organize customer questions and support cases by topic, and use insights to
preemptively write solutions for future similar cases with help me write.
• Customer service representatives can share the insights from the organized data with
team members, as well as use the insights to update FAQs and provide feedback to
product teams so they can improve the organization's products and services.

Sales scenario
A four-person sales team with an average sales quota of $50K per seller per month
generates $200K in revenue/month. If, like many sellers, they are spending half of their time
on administrative tasks like sending prospecting emails, taking and cleaning up meeting
notes and action items, customizing pitches, and sending follow-up messaging — and if Duet
AI cuts the time those tasks take in half — then Duet AI can free up 25% of each seller’s time.
If they repurpose that work to focus on selling, that could translate into an additional $50K in
revenue/month, or the equivalent of one additional full-time seller.
Marketing scenario
A marketing team writes, localizes, and proofs all marketing copy for demand generation campaigns, but
they are spending so much time working on the copy that they don’t have time to tune it for different
channels and drive prospects to the content via social media. If they can use Duet AI to generate, proof,
and translate twice as much copy via help me write, then half of the marketing team could focus on
driving that content to the right prospects, which could conservatively give them a 20% increase in the
number of inquiries from prospects for the same cost. If the value of the pipeline they were generating
was $600K/year (or $50K/month), this would result in an additional $120K in pipeline generated by the
team. If that pipeline has a 40% close rate, that’s $48K in additional revenue.
