"And now employees are using Gemini to rapidly consolidate, summarize, and distribute that news through Google Chat, so we can ensure all of our teams are well-informed and equipped to build the best possible solutions for our customers."

"Smart chips have been another amazing addition to our Chat and Meet experience. The ability to link to documents, channels, and people directly in Chat has really changed how we're interacting with these products. If we’re having an important conversation through Meet and need to loop someone in, we can drop it as a smart chip and they’ll immediately be notified in Chat."
- Jason Coutu, IT Czar, Vendasta
"By making it easier to pull resources together, Chat reduces barriers to getting work done, allowing us to make actionable decisions in the moment, while improving collaboration across all our teams."
- Frej Krook, Collaboration Community Manager for Employee Tools, Trimble
"To further enhance our incident management capabilities, we recently built a Chat app to monitor network status, the status of all IT applications, and any help desk tickets assigned to our team. Since Chat apps work across web and mobile, we have essentially built a monitoring system inside of Chat and can access this from wherever we are."
- Adrian Giacometti, Cloud NetDevOps Tech Lead, Paack & Antonio Bernabé, Cloud Infrastructure Manager, Paack
