This announcement was part of Google Cloud Next ‘24. Visit the Workspace Blog to learn more about the next wave of innovations in Workspace, including enhancements to Gemini for Google Workspace.
What’s changing
Earlier this year, we introduced the integration between Google Chat and Dialogflow CX through the Google Workspace Developer Preview Program.
Dialogflow helps developers build and host Chat bots that understand natural language with minimal coding effort. The enhanced
Dialogflow CX version, now generally available, provides a new way of designing virtual agents by taking a state machine approach to agent design. Now, developers have clear and explicit control over a conversation, enjoy a better end-user experience, and gain access to an improved development workflow.
The Dialogflow CX integration with Google Chat allows developers to easily create Google Chat apps that are useful in all kinds of interactions, especially those that require natural human speech. For example, consider a Chat app that helps people rent cars. A user might write, “I’d like to rent a car”. The Chat app might respond with a question like “Where would you like to pick up the vehicle?” which starts a human-like conversation with the user in which the Chat app both understands and responds with human speech while booking the car rental.
Who’s impacted
Developers
Why it’s important
Dialogflow CX enables developers to create Chat apps with virtual agents that are more conversational and capable of performing specific tasks.

What’s changing
In continuing our efforts to improve the Google Chat experience and help ensure it’s a useful tool for seamless communication, especially when on the go, we’re excited to introduce voice messages on Chat mobile (with web support coming soon).
Sending a voice message instead of typing enables you to save time, convey more information, and emphasize the most important information for the message receiver. We hope this highly requested feature helps you communicate with others more effectively.
Additional details
We will be enabling transcription for voice messages in the coming months.
Getting started
Admins: This feature will be ON by default and can be disabled at the domain or OU level by disabling all attachments. Visit the Help Center to learn more about
controlling file sharing in Chat. For purposes of
Google Vault,
Google Takeout, and
Security Investigation Tool (SIT) moderation tools, voice messages are treated as attachments (like any other message in Chat). End users: You can send voice messages on mobile (to direct messages, group chats and spaces) and receive them on all platforms, including web. However, you cannot send voice messages on web at this time. To record on your Android or iOS device, tap the microphone icon > start speaking > watch a live waveform visualize your voice. A timer counts up so you know exactly how long you’ve been recording. You can preview and then send your voice message or delete it and try again if needed. Voice messages can be interacted with (quoted, reacted to, replied to in thread, etc.) just like any other Chat message. Visit the Help Center to learn more about
