  Google Workspace Updates Weekly Recap - October 17, 2025

  Google Workspace rolls out a wave of AI powered updates across Meet, Sheets, Keep, Tasks, Gmail, Chat, NotebookLM and AppSheet. Highlights include AI makeup in Meet, web grounded Sheets AI, Keep reminders to Tasks, Help me schedule in Gmail, Gemini summaries in Chat, and education flashcards.

  A summary of announcements from this week: The announcements below were published on the Workspace Updates blog earlier this week. Please refer to the original blog posts for complete details.

  AI-powered makeup in Google Meet

  Now you can choose from 12 new studio makeup looks, with a range of options from a polished, professional touch to a more expressive flair. Your AI-powered makeup remains seamless and untouched—even through everyday movements like sipping your coffee or touching your face. | Learn more about using AI makeup in Meet.

  The AI function in Google Sheets is now enhanced with Google Search results for more up-to-date answers

  Earlier this year, we announced AI function in Sheets to help you generate text, summarize information, categorize data, and analyze sentiment at scale, directly from any cell in your spreadsheet. Last month, we expanded feature availability to seven additional languages. Now, we're making AI function even more powerful by automatically grounding it in results from Google Search, so it can access up-to-the-minute information from the web to answer your prompts. | Learn more about Google Search in the Sheets AI function.

  Google Keep reminders now saved to Tasks

  As announced last year, Keep reminders will be automatically saved to Tasks. This means that now users can view their Keep reminders as tasks in Calendar, in the Tasks app, and even ask the Gemini app about them (via the Tasks extension). As part of this launch, any existing date/time based Keep reminders will automatically be saved to Google Tasks. | Learn more about the reminders to Tasks migration.

  Use Help me schedule to easily set up a meeting time over email

  Gmail with Gemini will detect when you’re trying to coordinate a time within an email and will surface a Help me schedule button in the toolbar. After you click on the Help me schedule button, Gemini will automatically suggest ideal slots based on your Google Calendar and the email's context. | Learn more about Help me schedule in Gmail.

  Summarize shared files with Gemini in Google Chat, now available on mobile

  Simply tap the “Summarize” button on the file preview card in your conversation. Gemini will summarize the file so you can get a quick overview without having to leave Chat. | Learn more about summarizing files in Chat.

  Video Overviews in NotebookLM are now available to users of all ages

  Google Workspace for Education users of all ages can now use Video Overviews in NotebookLM. Users can now turn documents, slides, charts and more into engaging explainer videos that are narrated by an AI voice. | Learn more about Video Overviews in Notebook LM.

  Extract, categorize, and summarize data in AppSheet with the power of Gemini

  AppSheet Enterprise Plus users can now add the new AI Task powered by Gemini, directly into their existing AppSheet automations. The AI Task can perform the following functions: Extract, Extract Rows, Categorize, and Summarize. | Learn more about Gemini in AppSheet.

  Gemini in Google Sheets now tackles multi-step tasks with expanded editing capabilities

  Earlier this year, we introduced powerful new editing options within Gemini in Sheets like creating pivot tables, applying filters, and adding conditional formatting. Building on that momentum, we’re excited to announce that Gemini can now execute multiple actions at once from a single prompt - no need to simplify your instructions or disrupt your workflow by typing multiple different prompts. | Learn more about multi-step actions using Gemini in Sheets.

  Your organization's logo will now appear in the Gemini app

  Similar to other Google Workspace service pages, your organization’s logo will now appear next to a user’s profile picture in the Gemini app when they are using their business or education account. | Learn more about organizational logos in the Gemini app.

  Introducing Business Continuity editions: Support business continuity and resilience for enterprise customers

  When your primary systems are compromised, you need a dependable partner to keep your organization operational. Our new Business Continuity editions are designed to serve as a robust backup solution that works in tandem with your primary, non-Google Workspace collaboration platform, providing a secure and familiar environment that can be activated when you need it most. | Learn more about the new Business Continuity editions.

  Flashcards in Gemini are now available to users of all ages

  Google Workspace for Education users of all ages can now use Flashcards in Gemini.

  6 Pixel features to try this Halloween

  Pixel launches Halloween ready features across Pixel 10 devices and Pixel Watch 4. Highlights include festive watch faces, Auto Best Take for group shots, Camera Coach guidance, Gemini AI effects, Recorder with background music, and Sunrise Alarm to ease the dark days.

  Pixel Halloween Features

  J Jack O. Lantern CSO - Chief Scare Officer

  This Halloween season, you may already be conjuring the perfect costume, or researching your trick-or-treating route. Now, get ready to summon a terrifyingly good tool to go along with it: Pixel. Here are a few frighteningly fun features to try, including the latest additions released with the new Pixel 10 phones, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold and the Pixel Watch 4.

  • Try a festive Pixel Watch face. In the Pixel Watch app, select “watch faces” and then the edit icon in the upper righthand corner. You’ll see an option for a photo watch face. Once you select it, go to Google Photos and select up to 30 photos that your watch will show on its display. Try scrolling back to past Octobers for some nostalgic Halloween picks, right on your wrist.

  • Get the entire group in the shot. Speaking of group shots: You might be getting together with friends and family quite a bit this month, whether that’s to visit the pumpkin patch, swap soups, trick-or-treat, watch scary movies or hit up a costume party. Pixel 10’s Auto Best Take will make sure you all look your best in your group pic, and you can use Add Me to get everyone — even the photographer — in there. And if you have a Pixel 10 Pro Fold, you can rely on Instant View to immediately show you if you got the shot: One half of the phone will show you the photo while you can continue to shoot via the live feed on the other half — that way, you’ll really know if you got the perfect group selfie or need to take a few more.

  • Want a spooky shot? Use Camera Coach. Another helpful feature for making sure you get the image you want is Camera Coach. Maybe you’re carving pumpkins and need help figuring out how to frame them all or you want to capture an artsy image of someone’s costume: Camera Coach will ask what you want to accomplish with your photo, then guide you through to the result.

  • Generate frightening or festive photos. There are so many ways you can use Pixel for some scary fun with photos: You can ask Gemini to turn a photo from last Halloween into a short video or to make your pic look like it’s from the ancient past. There’s also Pixel Studio, where you can use AI to create any spooky scene you can imagine. And there’s no shortage of ways to play with images in Google Photos — like asking it to put your pup in a costume or creating a fall-themed collage.

  • Record an eerie track. Pixel’s Recorder app now lets you add background music to a recording. Hosting a Halloween party or a haunted house? You can record some eerie sounds and set background music to them. You can choose to create your own vibe (the “angry” and “sad” options work best for scary party purposes and would easily complement ghostly “ooOOooOOoo”s!) and Pixel will generate a track for you.

    You can record some eerie sounds and set background music to them.

  • Adjust to darker days. Halloween’s approach isn’t the only sign of fall: There are also the darker, shorter days. Help yourself adjust to the season change with Pixel’s Sunrise Alarm, which gradually brightens your screen over 15 minutes before your audio alarm goes off. Even if you can’t actually wake up with the sun these days, this can help getting up in the dark feel a bit more natural.
