One thing that's kind of interesting is how many small businesses in particular (but large ones as well) are going to be sort of grandfathered into picking MSFT or GOOGL here. What I mean is that one of my small businesses already has some exposure to Google via spreadsheets and the like in Google Docs, so it's kind of a no-brainer to stick with Google's version, provided it's comparable to Copilot.
I've been eager to do deeper analytics on my companies, but have been really hesitant due to security concerns. I know this doesn't eliminate them, but it does seem to... corral? them a bit. I'm sure others are in my situation.
Yeah, because most companies already have exposure to these workspaces, I don’t think there’s going to be loads of customers jumping ship. If you were already in the Google camp, you’re most likely going to stay in the Google camp and vice versa.
Maybe the only reason in the long run would be if one greatly outperforms the other in terms of quality.
Will be interested to see when they roll out Copilot to us where I work. Just started activating Google Labs for some of their generative AI things at home.
Great stuff. I used Duet AI in a presentation today. I'd call it Duet lite as I only used it to create a creative bed of images for backgrounds. But, the more significant fact is that it was available.
I'm impressed by their speed of deployment, it's really something to roll this out to so many people. According to Google, Google has about 6 million business customers on Workspace.

I think this is a good thought process. The enterprise stuff probably doesn't move the markets all that much, at least longer term.

Thanks for your reply George! I haven’t tried Google Labs myself yet. How are your first impressions?
Very early, so I’ve only used the search enhancement, but so far that’s seemed well-designed and helpful.
