Besides new Gemini features in Google Docs, Sheets, Meet, Chat and Vids, Cloud Next 2025 saw the announcement of Google Workspace Flows. As first teased at I/O last year, the company today announced Google Workspace Flows as a tool to “automate those multi-step processes using AI that can actually research, analyze, and generate content for you.” It’s currently available through an alpha program. It makes use of Gems, or custom versions of Gemini that you create. Like in the Gemini app, you “simply describe what you need in plain language and Workspace Flows will design and build sophisticated, logic-driven flows — no complex coding or configuration needed.” Other examples of “specialized tasks” include: checking if marketing copy fits your brand voice reviewing policy documents before approving a request, and intelligently sort customer support tickets. Workspace Flows can refer to Google Drive files for context and then “use custom-trained Gems to take the right next steps.” Google is also working to connect third-party tools to Workspace Flows.
