Google on Monday announced a major Gmail redesign with a slew of new productivity tools that’ll work across the company’s other apps, like Docs and Sheets, aiming to turn the service into a hub for planning projects and collaborating with other people.
The idea is to bring Google’s separate productivity apps all to one place, with Gmail serving as the command center. The update brings Gmail more in line with competitors like Slack and Microsoft Teams, which make popular collaboration software. But instead of targeting only office workers, Google is bringing the features to its consumer version of Gmail.
