Google has launched a new tool called Google Cloud Search, which will allow its business users to search across G Suite products, including Drive, Gmail, Sites, Calendar, Docs, Contacts and more. The search service respects file-sharing permissions, so users can only access what’s available to them, whether that’s company-wide resources like a policy manual, team projects or documents only they can see.
When users log into Cloud Search either on the web or on their Android device, they’ll be greeted by “assist cards” that are supposed to highlight key files. At launch, those cards are built to show users files that are relevant for their upcoming calendar events, as well as those that require attention based on recent edits.
Google’s new service will show G Suite users information they need when they need it
Since the app is built with machine intelligence it will be capable of learning from users over time, and as it learns more about the user Google says the assist cards will become more frequent but also more relevant to the tasks at hand so users are getting not only the information and files that are best suited to a specific task or project, but also at the most relevant times so everything comes together nicely.
