Image description: Thomas Kurian: We're introducing a new offering called Gemini Business, which lets organizations use generative AI in Workspace at a lower price point than Gemini Enterprise, which replaces Duet AI for Workspace Enterprise.
Sacha Sayan: Hey Thomas, can I pay for it with Google Pay in Google Wallet, which replaced Google Pay, which replaced Android Pay, formerly known as Google Wallet?
Sacha Sayan: If not we can jump on a call and discuss billing. I'll send you an invite on Google Meet, the enterprise Google Chat, previously Duo, which replaced Allo, the replacement for Hangouts, the rebrand of +Hangouts, which replaced Talk and Voice.
Michael Parker: Just to clarify do you mean you'll send an invite on Google Meet, or Google Meet (original)?
Sacha Sayan: Great question Michael. As a Google Workspace user, formerly GSuite, otherwise known as Google Apps for Work, previously Google Apps Premier Edition, aka Gmail for Your Domain, which would you recommend?

Actually let’s figure it out on Google Wave

I hate that slack and Teams exist while Wave died for nothing.

Reminder that Google Allo launched a little over a month after they launched Google Duo.

Absolutely cackling, honestly I might save these screenshots so that when I forget what the current fucking names of these things are, I have a reference

It’s crazy how little they care for their branding. I don’t even try to remember or even know their latest product changes, I just got tired with them.

Can’t wait for Gemini Apps for Business

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

Not to be confused with Gemini Business Apps.

I am seeing at least 20 promotions in this screenshot.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago

Exactly my thought.

Churn is awful for users, but it is a great way to show “impact”, and thus get promoted within Google. So, fuck the users, churn it is.

See also “launching a product that everybody knows is a bad idea”.

Also, since it’s very hard to get promoted for just keeping things running but possible to get promoted for shutting things down, even if they have tens of millions of users, there’s the evil twin of unnecesary launches: shutting down popular services.

Soon they'll rebrand the company as a whole to Googleplex.
