You can use Google Chat to send direct messages to coworkers, collaborate in dedicated group spaces, and organize team projects. It connects directly with Google Workspace services like Gmail, Drive, Calendar, and Tasks so you can share files and schedule meetings inside your conversations. Built-in Gemini features let you summarize missed messages, draft responses, generate action items, and translate text across multiple languages. You can also start quick audio huddles with teammates and connect external apps like Jira, GitHub, and Asana directly to your channels.
