Google has launched new tools to help remote teams work better together. These tools are made for AI development teams that are spread out across different places. The company says the updates will make it easier for people to share ideas and build AI models without being in the same office.

The new features include real-time code collaboration, shared virtual workspaces, and better ways to track changes in machine learning projects. Teams can now see each other’s edits as they happen. They can also leave comments and suggestions right inside the code. This helps avoid confusion and keeps everyone on the same page.
Google added voice and video integration into its developer environment. This means team members can talk while they work on the same file. No need to switch between apps. Everything happens in one place. The system also saves all conversations linked to specific parts of a project. That makes it easy to go back and understand past decisions.
Security is built in from the start. All data stays protected with Google’s standard encryption. Access controls let managers decide who can see or change what. This is important for companies working on sensitive AI systems.
Early users say the tools cut down meeting time and speed up development. One engineering lead said her team shipped a new model two weeks faster than before. Another user liked how simple it was to bring new people onto a project. They could see the full history without asking a lot of questions.

Google designed these tools based on feedback from its own AI teams. Many of them have worked remotely for years. The company believes good collaboration should not depend on location. These updates aim to give every team the same advantages, no matter where they are.
