Google Cloud reveals new AI and machine learning innovations at Next 21, focusing on faster business value and easier accessibility. Key updates include the preview of Contract DocAI and expanded Conversational AI solutions.
Google Cloud showcases several new artificial intelligence and machine learning innovations at Next 21, continuing its mission to make AI more accessible and focused on concrete business outcomes. The event features major updates across Conversational AI, Document AI, and streamlined deployment options designed to help customers fast-track their time-to-value. Alongside these product launches, Google provides a wealth of educational content from internal experts, partners, and customers to help the community expand its AI skills.
A central highlight of the event is the preview release of Contract DocAI, a specialized tool that falls under the broader Google Cloud Document AI platform. This new solution enables users to extract valuable insights from the unstructured text found in contracts, which significantly accelerates contract lifecycles and reduces processing costs. By leveraging this scalable cloud-based AI platform, businesses scan, analyze, and understand their document workflows much more efficiently than before.
Early adopters like Ironclad demonstrate the immediate practical impact of Contract DocAI in real-world applications. By integrating this technology, Ironclad builds a Smart Import feature that allows customers to upload contracts 75 percent faster while saving up to 40 percent on operational costs. This seamless integration unlocks previously inaccessible contract data, empowering various departments to make better and faster decisions without needing to build complex AI infrastructure from scratch.
