This article is a translation. Read the Japanese original
Workspace Studio is a no-code automation tool that allows users to build business processes through interaction with AI. Unlike traditional code-based development using Google Apps Script, it enables the creation of workflows across multiple applications via natural language instructions.
Specific use cases introduced included a system to summarize unread emails and notify users via Google Chat, as well as a method to automatically generate draft responses by referencing documents in Gemini Notebook based on the content of an inquiry. Additionally, processes ranging from research using Deep Research to the structuring and creation of slides, as well as the automation of data analysis and dashboard creation in Google Sheets, were demonstrated.
Workspace Studio operates by combining "Starters," which define the triggering conditions for automation, and "Steps," which specify the subsequent processing. It is claimed that this allows AI to support routine tasks, leading to significant reductions in time spent.
