However, Google Workspace has employed AI even before generative AI became mainstream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AI has made Google Docs more intuitive and boosted the user experience. For instance, it automatically prepares hierarchical document outlines to simplify navigation. Similarly, AI has helped autocorrect misspelled words or highlight grammatical errors with recommended corrections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zoom out from the Docs environment, and you\u2019ll find that Gmail supports Smart Compose to contextually predict and autocomplete sentences right as you type your emails. Google Chat sported something similar through Smart Replies, offering appropriate responses to incoming messages. Even Google Maps leveraged AI for smarter route navigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AI has been at the core of Google Workspace, and Duet AI is set to take it to the next level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-what-is-duet-ai-in-google-docs-\"><strong>What is Duet AI in Google Docs?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-132781\" src=\"https:\/\/clickup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/DuetAI-Modules.png\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 448px) 100vw, 448px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/clickup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/DuetAI-Modules.png 448w, https:\/\/clickup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/DuetAI-Modules-300x175.png 300w\" alt=\"Modules of Duet AI\" width=\"448\" height=\"262\">\n<figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Duet AI has five underlying modules<\/em><\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Announced in Google I\/O 2023 as a \u2018Help me write\u2019 feature, Duet AI is the latest generative AI tool developed by Google Workspace Labs.

However, this journey will be anything but smooth sailing due to the following roadblocks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Google has priced Duet AI at $30 per month, which pegs it on par with its direct competitor Microsoft Copilot. Such an aggressive pricing model makes it inaccessible to SMBs, even though the company has indicated future price adjustments<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Even for enterprises and businesses with deep pockets, Duet AI may not be as much of a steal deal as it currently only performs basic content generation with limited editing functionalities<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>As a fairly new technology, the entire Duet AI toolkit is still a work in progress, with about a year of real-world training. Expect it to make mistakes and remain unreliable until the technology stabilizes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Duet AI is currently not in the capacity to handle rare, unusual, or exceptional conditions (edge cases), which may cause it to misinterpret context, generate inappropriate outputs, and deploy model overconfidence<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Duet AI is vulnerable to model hallucinations caused by a lack of grounding and factuality like any other AI technology. Such mistakes can quickly turn expensive in business applications<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite its promising appearance, this lackluster performance is why users are looking for <a href=\"https:\/\/clickup.com\/blog\/google-docs-alternatives\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">alternatives to Google Docs<\/a> AI.
