April brought a wave of exciting Google Workspace updates, including enhancements to popular tools like Google Vids, Docs, Sheets, and Slides, plus deeper Gemini AI integration and a major language expansion for Notebook LM. Google Cloud Next '25 also took place this month, and Cloudasta was there to learn firsthand about the upcoming updates and how we can help you take advantage of them.
Let’s break down what’s new and how these changes can make your daily work smoother, smarter, and more efficient.
Google Vids continues to evolve as a fast and accessible way to create video content with the help of Gemini AI. This month’s update makes AI voiceovers even easier to manage. Thanks to a new sidebar option, you can now quickly edit, replace, or remove voiceovers created with the Help Me Create feature, perfect for fine-tuning your scripts without starting from scratch.
Building Blocks for code in Google Docs now support even more programming languages. This feature is especially useful for technical teams working collaboratively inside Workspace. While popular languages like Java and JavaScript were already supported, the growing list now includes even more tools for developers and educators.
If you love Smart Chips in Sheets, you'll enjoy this upgrade. You can now add multiple people chips in a single cell, making collaboration smoother. Just format your list of emails into people chips via the "Format" > "Smart Chips" > "People Chips" menu, a real time-saver for shared project sheets or event planning.
Slides is getting a visual and functional upgrade. A redesigned sidebar replaces several top-menu options, giving you faster access to features like:
This revamped interface makes building professional slide decks easier and more creative than ever.
Notebook LM, Google's powerful research and summarization tool, now supports audio overviews in over 50 languages. Not only can it import and understand multilingual content, but it can also export summaries in your language of choice. Whether you're reviewing academic papers, interview notes, or reports, Notebook LM is a multilingual research assistant at your fingertips.
At Google Cloud Next, Google teased exciting features on the horizon. One highlight is Google Workspace Flows, a new way to automate workflows using AI agents instead of simple rule-based logic. These agents can actively manage and optimize processes like approvals, scheduling, and data handling.
