Google is broadening the capabilities of Gemini for Workspace, which now includes Arabic among a growing list of supported languages. Starting this week, users can access Gemini’s AI capabilities in the side panel of Google Docs, Sheets, Drive, and Gmail in the following 17 new languages:

Arabic, Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, Hebrew, Hungarian, Norwegian, Polish, Romanian, Russian, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, and Vietnamese.

With this update, users can now draft social media posts in Docs, summarize complex files in Drive, or manage their Gmail inbox — all in their preferred language. Additionally, Gemini’s image generation feature now supports these languages as well.

Here are some of the ways Gemini can improve the way teams work:

Gmail Integration: Sorting through emails can be overwhelming, especially for customer service teams. Gemini can now filter unread messages from clients and even draft responses in the user’s preferred language, streamlining communication.
Docs Assistance: Marketing professionals can use Gemini to help craft more compelling content. Whether it’s overcoming writer’s block or drafting promotional copy for a product launch, Gemini provides instant, language-specific support.
Drive Summaries: Sales teams often spend too much time searching for information across multiple documents. Gemini can now scan files, presentations, and notes, then present a concise summary in seconds — helping users prepare for key meetings more efficiently.

Users can research topics or brainstorm ideas in any of 40 supported languages using the Gemini app. Additionally, for international teams, Google Meet now offers translated captions in 69 languages, and Google Chat can automatically translate messages, making global collaboration even easier.

Abu Dhabi’s Robot Kitchen Is Serving Up Biryani, Not Burgers

Circus SE wants to put a tiny automated factory inside the buildings where Gulf residents live and work, bypassing part of last-mile delivery.

The most telling thing about a new autonomous kitchen now running in Abu Dhabi’s Marina Square is what it won’t cook:

“We don’t do fast food,” says Nikolas Bullwinkel, Founder and CEO of Circus SE. “We’ve actively decided not to build a machine that can only do burgers”.

Instead, the CA-1 system is built around pot-based cooking: curries, pastas, soups and rice dishes. After experimenting with highly personalized recipes, Circus deliberately leaned back toward recognizable food. “We’re going with a chicken biryani because you know it,” Bullwinkel says of the AED 40 dish.

The Germany-based robotics and food technology company operates across eight countries, and Abu Dhabi is its first deployment outside Europe. More locations are expected there and in Dubai.

In Germany, its units can be placed in supermarkets, gas stations, airports and hospitals. In the Gulf, Bullwinkel wants them inside residential and office buildings, replacing some of the complexity of last-mile delivery. “We’re basically bringing a very tiny factory a few square meters into your building,” he says. Catering company Royal Prestige supplies the ingredients and knowledge of local tastes.

The CA-1 manages up to 36 refrigerated ingredient silos alongside automated induction cooking, robotic plating and a self-cleaning dishwasher. Two robotic arms move ingredients through the system with minimal human intervention. It can produce up to 120 hot meals an hour, and a meal such as rice and curry can take around three to four minutes.

Five cameras and multiple sensors monitor heat, temperature and consistency, an attempt to approximate what a chef perceives. “You can hear something gets burned, you can smell it, you can see it at some point,” Bullwinkel says. CircusOS, the company’s operating system, adjusts recipes in real time.

You might think of the platform as a threat to kitchen staff, but Bullwinkel frames Circus as a way for chefs to develop recipes and distribute them at scale. With that being said, rising labor costs and shortages are also part of his case for automation.
