With new Duet AI features, a new redesign, and new huddles for video and audio calls, Chat is catching up with its enterprise messaging competitors like Slack and Teams.
Google is making some big changes to Google Chat , its answer to Slack and Microsoft Teams . The messaging app — aka The Product Formerly Known As Hangouts — is getting a new design, some features that will feel distinctly familiar to Slack and Teams users, and a lot of Google ’s new Duet AI collaboration tools . Most of the new features are rolling out later this year and early next, but they add up to a much more useful and competitive Chat platform.
Google is adding “huddles” to the app, which essentially offer a one-click way to start a video or audio chat rather than going through the whole rigamarole of Google Meet. The underlying tech of huddles is Google Meet, which is a surprisingly sensible bit of corporate synergy from Google — it’s just a simpler, less intense interface for getting in touch.
