Share your AI Success Story: Android Enterprise customer testimonials & quotes needed!
Hey everyone, I hope you are having a good week. AI is evolving fast, and we're curious how it's starting to shape your work on Android. Has your company embraced it wholeheartedly or are you finding people more reserved when implementing AI? As part of our end of year festival, we had a brilliant community post by BenMcc all about the hopes and pitfalls of AI so far (well worth the read if you haven’t already), and we’re keen to keep the conversation going - what do you think of his observations about ownership/accountability and the future of AI? Whether you're a seasoned AI user or just dipping your toes in, we'd love to hear your experiences—even if they're initial observations or pilot projects. We’re looking for real-world examples and specific, impactful quotes that can be featured across our channels (or we could just have a great conversation below! 😀). It would be particularly interesting in learn about: Specific AI Use Cases: How are you leveraging AI tools in your daily work on Android? Google AI Tools: Are you using Gemini for Google Workspace, Circle to Search, Gemini models, on-device AI tools on Pixel, or other AI tools? Organizational Impact: How has AI improved your productivity, reduced costs, or streamlined processes? For example: "Gemini for Google Workspace has saved our team [X] hours per week by automating [specific task]." "Circle to Search has improved our ability to [specific action] while on the field." "On-device AI on Pixel allows us to [specific task] without needing constant internet access." Thank you in advance, Lizzie (and the Android Enterprise Team)[Community Survey] Feedback on usage of AI-related apps & services
Hello everyone, I hope you are doing well. It's time for another community survey! We’d greatly appreciate your feedback on the usage of AI-related apps and services (i.e. chatbots, AI-assisted writing tools, etc.) for work purposes. The survey below should only take ~5-10 minutes and please note your responses will not be publicly visible (or to other respondents). We will be sharing these results back with our Product team so your responses are greatly appreciated. If you have any questions, please reply to this topic and I'll try to help as much as possible. A massive thank you in advance. Lizzie
Your guide to smarter ChromeOS administration
The pace of innovation in Chrome Enterprise and ChromeOS continues to accelerate. Earlier this year, we launched a wave of powerful AI-driven features designed to fundamentally change how you manage your fleet and support your end-users. We’ve summarized the key developments below, focusing on the practical, day-to-day applications for your administrative work. Part 1: Empowering IT: AI in the Admin Console Updates focus heavily on simplifying the most time-consuming aspects of device management using Google AI and Gemini. New Feature Practical Day-to-Day Application 1. Chrome Admin Assistance (Gemini Chatbot) Instant, conversational support and task execution. Instead of navigating complex menus, you can simply ask the chatbot in natural language to perform an action. For example, "What is the status of device serial number X?" or "Initiate a remote reboot for device Y." This significantly cuts down on routine, manual administrative tasks. SIgn up as a trusted tester to avail. 2. Natural Language Processing (NLP) Search Find policies and devices instantly without precise keywords. No more guessing policy names or remembering exact search syntax. You can now use plain English for complex queries like: "Show me all devices enrolled last month" or "Find the policy for blocking USB storage." This makes fleet audits and configuration checks much faster. 3. Intelligent Recommendations (Related Settings) Ensure comprehensive and optimized configurations. When you’re viewing the details of one policy (e.g., microphone control settings), the Admin Console now surfaces other logically related policies (like audio output settings). This prevents overlooked settings and ensures a more complete and secure setup. Part 2: Powering end-users (and reducing your tickets) While your focus is on the fleet, these end-user-facing AI enhancements are vital because they impact user productivity and, ultimately, your support load. Gemini integration in Google Workspace: If your organisation does have Workspace, users now have powerful AI assistants in Gmail (summarizing threads, composing faster), Docs, Sheets, and Slides. As an Admin, you can easily pin Gemini to the Chromebook shelf, ensuring simple, centralized access for all employees. AI built into ChromeOS: Users gain productivity tools that work across any application, not just Google's. Features like Help me read and Help me write assist with comprehension and content creation in third-party or web applications. Furthermore, AI-enhanced video call controls and Live Translate directly on the device improve meeting quality and cross-lingual collaboration, leading to less friction and fewer support requests for connectivity/tool issues. Part 3: The Right Hardware To unlock these most advanced AI experiences, organizations should look to Chromebook Plus devices, which meet a higher standard for performance and memory. When planning your next refresh cycle, ensure the hardware can support the full stack of new AI capabilities to maximize user benefit. Ready for the Deep Dive?
