Session write-up
This half-day session at the Sheraton Mall of the Emirates in Dubai was for CIOs, CTOs and IT teams looking to get more from Google Workspace. Matty Courtney, Customer Engineering Lead at Google Cloud, joined Yahya Zakir Sait and Jojo Varghese.
The agenda moved from what teams have today to what was coming. It covered advanced Workspace features for workflow and data protection, then how the suite evolved from separate apps into one connected workspace. The AI part came weeks after Google had announced generative AI features for Workspace in March 2023, the work that later became Duet AI and then Gemini. The final part showed AppSheet, Google's no-code platform for turning spreadsheets and forms into working apps without writing code.
The practical takeaway: AppSheet is often the fastest way for a Gulf business to digitise a paper or spreadsheet process, such as site inspections, stock counts or approvals, using the Google accounts staff already have.
