Google Apps for work is now G Suite, a set of intelligent apps

Google announced the rebranding for its Google Apps for Work as G Suite. The latest rebranding effort by the company is to streamline its services and inform about the superior cloud services as initially reported by The Information. The rebranding reflects a shift in what the apps are meant to do from “Google Apps for work”. Earlier Google apps were meant to be used on the personal domain for a collaborative effort for businesses to grow. Now, “G Suite” is a set of intelligent apps that bring people together while leveraging the capabilities of machine learning, cloud and natural language processing.

Features like smarter spreadsheets with Explore option to help summarise the data will also be included. Other interesting things include smarter presentations with image detection and dynamically generated layout suggestions that speed up work.
