It’s also taking its dedicated Google Workspace voice assistant out of beta and making it publicly available.

In addition to setting up out-of-office and work hours, users will also be able to create a new event type called focus time.

According to Google, various Workspace tools are aware of your current condition and location and adjust notifications to suit you.
