You can use Google Chat to send direct messages and create group spaces for team communication. It supports threaded conversations, file sharing, task creation, and video huddles. The Gemini AI assistant can summarize conversations, translate messages, draft replies, and list action items. It connects directly with Gmail, Google Drive, Calendar, and Meet, and integrates with third-party apps like Jira, Salesforce, and Asana. Spaces can hold up to 500,000 members and are accessible on desktop, mobile, and tablet.
