It’s no secret that Google is now focused on AI and how it can integrate the tech into its apps and services. In many instances, these efforts are reflected in the progress it’s made on Gemini, the company’s dominant AI initiative. However, the tech giant is also working the technology into existing products, many of which are used by free and paid Google account holders alike. To that end, the company has announced new updates coming to Workspace, and you’ll be able to access them with a paid subscription.

Google loves making small changes to its app suite’s interfaces for no reason other than to do it for the sake of it. Sometimes, those redesigns make us scratch our heads, with us asking, “Why do we need to be teased over a new login page?” Other times, Google forces us to spend more time distinguishing between Google Chat and other Workspace apps. Google Drive has been no stranger to small upgrades over the past year or so, and those alterations have resulted in an overall lukewarm reaction. This month, the search bar in Drive is getting a minor change.
