Google's Duet AI will attend meetings for you while you sleep

Google is bringing its Duet AI to Google Workspace, with features ranging from automatic summarization of documents to something you'll probably really appreciate: a virtual avatar that can attend meetings for you when you can't make it. Unfortunately, Duet AI for Google Workspace is just for businesses right now, who will be asked to pay for it: $30 per user per month, the same price Microsoft charges for its own Microsoft 365 Copilot AI offerings for businesses. Aparna Pappu, Google Workspace's vice president and general manager, told CNBC that a consumer version will arrive next year. Some of these features were announced at Google I/O in May, but are arriving on Workspace for the first time. Still, the features look intriguing.
