What’s changing
At I/O in May 2022, we announced conversation summaries in Google Chat on web. Starting today, you will see summaries that provide a helpful digest of conversations in a space, allowing you to quickly catch-up on unread messages and navigate to the most relevant threads.

Why it’s important
