Chat is a messaging and team collaboration tool that helps Workspace users connect and collaborate to get things done. It is designed to be simple but powerful, with features like real-time or anytime chat, team collaboration, and intelligent features like smart compose, autocorrect, and summarization.
To use Chat, you can sign in and explore its features, including Gemini, which is a helpful teammate that provides answers, summarizes conversations, finds files in Drive, and brainstorms new creative ideas. Chat also allows you to express yourself with custom emojis, reactions, inline GIFs, and rich text formatting.
Chat is built for teamwork and allows you to create a space to share team updates or collaborate on a project. You can also huddle with teammates for real-time problem-solving or drop-in collaboration throughout the day. Additionally, Chat connects at scale, keeping everyone on the same page with announcement spaces supporting up to 500,000 members.
Chat is included with Workspace at no additional cost and integrates in helpful ways with Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Meet, Groups, and more. It also plays well with others, allowing you to migrate your existing data from Slack or Teams using Chat APIs or Workspace partners like CloudFuze and CloudM, or enable cross-product collaboration with interoperability solutions from Mio.
