BRAD CALDER

Vice President & GM, Google Cloud Platform

Our customers are telling us that they want to focus on growth and create
lasting industry advantages, while looking for smarter ways to work. To help
make this possible, we're reimagining our Google Cloud products with generative
AI.

Today we are expanding the Duet AI in Google Cloud preview with new
capabilities, with general availability coming later this year. Duet AI can now
provide AI assistance across a wide range of Google Cloud products and services
to serve more cloud users — spanning developers, operators, data practitioners,
and cybersecurity professionals.


DUET AI: YOUR ALWAYS-ON AI COLLABORATOR

Google Cloud is committed to bringing a new way to cloud to all of our users
through the power of AI. Being a critical part of Google’s overall AI effort,
Duet AI is revolutionizing the way our users work with Google Cloud, which will
help our customers boost their productivity, gain competitive advantages, and
ultimately improve the bottom line. 

We unveiled Duet AI in Google Cloud at Google I/O in May, and showcased
developer features such as code and chat assistance. Since then, trusted testers
across the world have experienced the power of Duet AI while we worked on
expanding its capabilities and integrating them across a wide range of products
and services throughout our portfolio. 

At Next, we are announcing that Duet AI can now provide AI assistance across
more surfaces, infusing the power of gen AI across Google Cloud to help with
application development, operations, database management and migration, data
analysis and visualization, as well as cybersecurity. 


ACCELERATING APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT

Duet AI in Google Cloud provides expert assistance across your entire software
development lifecycle. This includes code generation, source citation, test
coverage, designing and publishing APIs, migrating and modernizing applications,
and much more. 

With Duet AI, developers can use natural language to quickly understand complex
code and APIs, follow best coding practices, quickly generate unit tests, and
more. Duet AI’s code and chat assistance are available in our development
environments such as the Google Cloud console, Cloud Workstations and Cloud
Shell Editor. In addition, through our Cloud Code IDE extensions, you can also
find Duet AI in third-party IDEs such as VSCode and JetBrains IDEs like CLion,
GoLand, IntelliJ, PyCharm, Rider and WebStorm. We provide Duet AI where you
spend your time developing your code, so you can stay in flow-state longer and
minimize context switching. 

Today, we are announcing a number of powerful developer features into Duet AI to
push the boundary of our AI code assistance: 



 * Application modernization: Duet AI can help you modernize your applications
   faster by assisting you with code refactoring. Typically, refactoring legacy
   applications requires migrating and refactoring code from one language to
   another, which can be expensive and take months. With Duet AI, refactoring
   code and migrating to Google Cloud is faster and easier. For example, let’s
   say you’re interested in updating a product catalog service, which connects a
   front-end website to the back-end product database. As part of this update,
   you want to migrate from C++ to Go, and want to start using Cloud SQL, 
   Google Cloud’s managed relational database. If you did this by hand, you
   would need to convert the code from C++ to Go, learn the Cloud SQL
   constructs, and update the database connection to use Cloud SQL. With Duet
   AI, you can instead open Duet AI chat right in your development environment,
   write a natural language prompt as simple as “Convert this function to Go and
   use Cloud SQL.” The function is rewritten in Go and the database connection
   is automatically converted to Cloud SQL — voilà!



Duet AI responds to a natural language prompt through a chat interface and
converts a function to Go and updates the back-end database to Cloud SQL

 * Context-aware code generation: We have started to work with select
   enterprises to allow Duet AI to be customized with organization-specific
   knowledge from their libraries and code base to generate context-aware code
   suggestions. For example, you could ask Duet AI to generate code for a
   function that finds all products under $10 in a company’s product catalog,
   and it will generate a function based on the company's classes and methods
   used to interact with the product catalog.



Duet AI helps generate code based on organization-specific content

 * API Management and Application integration: Integration is another critical
   part of application development. Applications rely on APIs and integration
   services to orchestrate communications across multiple services. Using Duet
   AI in our integration services such as Apigee API Management and Application
   Integration, developers can now easily design, create and publish APIs using
   simple natural language prompts.



Responding to natural language prompts, Duet AI uses your enterprise assets and
context to automatically generate API specifications, integration flows,
descriptions, and test cases

"At Wayfair, developer productivity is top of mind for us. We are excited to
incorporate Duet AI in our efforts to have developers across Wayfair build
applications incredibly fast! With Duet AI, we can increase developer
productivity and joy at the same time." - Mark Quigley, Director of Engineering
Enablement, Wayfair

“Duet AI is one of the top coding assistants we’ve tried. Our early experience
with Duet AI has been very promising with productivity gains around 33%. We’re
trying out newer features right now like indexing and debugging, which we expect
to push productivity even higher.” - Kai Du, Director of Engineering, Turing


SIMPLIFY OPERATING AND MANAGING INFRASTRUCTURE AND APPLICATIONS

A lot of time is spent on building and securing deployments, and connecting the
dots to investigate issues across your application. Duet AI can help you
automate deployments, ensure applications are configured correctly, quickly
understand and debug issues, and can create more secure and reliable
applications.

For example, Duet AI in Google Cloud helps developers, site reliability
engineers, and operators monitor performance and troubleshoot issues quickly
with monitoring and logging integrations. Duet AI assists in identifying
correlations across your application, enabling you to swiftly transition from
receiving alerts to resolving issues. In Cloud Monitoring, natural language
prompts can be translated into PromQL queries to analyze time-series metrics,
such as CPU usage over time. Duet AI can also provide intuitive explanations of
complex log entries in Logs Explorer for easier root-cause analysis, and provide
suggestions for how to fix issues that are surfaced in Error Reporting.

Duet AI helps quickly troubleshoot a service issue and also recommends fixes


HELPING TO UNLOCK THE VALUE OF DATA

Data and business analysts can leverage Duet AI in BigQuery for fast data
analysis. Duet AI in BigQuery provides contextual assistance for writing SQL and
Python to access and analyze your data, which can allow data teams to focus more
on logic and outcomes. It can generate full functions and code blocks,
auto-suggest code completions and explain your code and SQL queries. Duet AI
focuses on understanding your data and its usage patterns to assist in your
analysis by suggesting what questions to ask.  

We also bring the power of Vertex AI to your data in BigQuery. With just one SQL
statement you can connect BigQuery tables with Vertex AI’s foundation models,
optimize prompts with your data in BigQuery Studio, perform text analysis or
generate new attributes to enrich your BigQuery data model. Duet AI also enables
you to generate vector embeddings in BigQuery to build powerful semantic
searches and recommendation queries.

Duet AI can easily create SQL or Python code to do things like customer
segmentation in BigQuery Studio

"Duet AI in BigQuery has helped our data team at L’Oréal accelerate our
transformation by making it easier for us to explore, understand, and use our
data. With Duet AI, we can quickly query our data to get the insights we need to
make better decisions for our business. We are excited to continue working with
Duet AI to further our transformation and achieve our business goals." - Antoine
Castex, Data Platform Architect, L’Oréal

We’re also bringing Duet AI to Looker, helping business users to analyze data
faster. Our vision for Duet AI in Looker is to enable every decision maker to
get to the right insight, at the right time, in the right format. With Duet AI
in Looker we enable conversational data analysis, automatic generation of
presentations, intelligent text summaries based on your reports, the use of
natural language to create calculations and visualizations, as well as the
ability to rapidly generate LookML models. Later this year, we’ll add a new Duet
AI experience to Looker to analyze data in a collaborative notebook experience.

Duet AI helps quickly analyze and visualize data, and export those
visualizations to slides


ACCELERATE AND MODERNIZE DATABASES

Duet AI in databases helps you take developer productivity to new levels. We’re
introducing this capability for Cloud Spanner today, and it will also be coming
to AlloyDB and Cloud SQL. With Duet AI in Cloud Spanner, you can generate code
to structure, modify, or query your data using natural language. For instance,
with a simple command such as “write a query to show all data in the messages
table,” you can have Duet AI automatically generate the required SQL for you to
further review or modify, which can significantly reduce the time to develop
code for applications. 

In addition, to make it easier to modernize your databases, we’re bringing the
power of Duet AI to our Database Migration Service (DMS). Duet AI in DMS helps
automate the conversion of database code that could not be converted with
traditional translation technologies, such as stored procedures, functions,
triggers, packages, and custom PL/SQL code. You’ll be able to use Duet AI in DMS
to migrate the last mile of Oracle to AlloyDB and Oracle to Cloud
SQL-for-PostgreSQL later this year.

Duet AI helps automate code conversion for the last mile of Oracle migrations


ACCELERATE SECURITY RESPONSE AND REMEDIATION

Duet AI helps security professionals prevent threats, reduce toil in their
security workflows, and uplevel security talent — and it’s now integrated into
our security products such as Chronicle Security Operations, Mandiant Threat
Intelligence and Security Command Center. Duet AI can quickly summarize and
classify threat information, translate natural language searches into queries,
and provide suggested next steps to remediate issues, which can reduce time for
detection and response and make overworked security professionals more
productive. For more details on how Duet AI can help security professionals,
check out this blog.

Duet AI in Security Command Center explains why cloud assets may be vulnerable
to attack, and provides recommendations to address the risk.


DUET AI ASSISTS YOU IN A PERSONALIZED AND RESPONSIBLE WAY

Duet AI was trained to deliver smarter, contextual recommendations. To serve
Google Cloud users better, we trained and fine-tuned the AI foundation models
with Google Cloud-specific content such as documentation, code examples, and
Google Cloud best practices. With Duet AI, we’re on a mission to deliver a new
cloud experience that’s personalized and intent-driven, and helps your teams
build secure, reliable, and scalable applications, all while providing expert
guidance. 

In designing Duet AI, we leveraged Google’s comprehensive approach to helping
protect customers' security and privacy, as well as our AI principles. That
means you can rest assured that your code, your inputs to Duet AI, and your
recommendations generated by Duet AI will not be used to train any shared models
nor used to develop any products. Your data and IP remain yours. In addition, to
help you comply with your license requirements and policies, Duet AI properly
cites the sources for its code suggestions.

Duet AI issues warning when suggested code may be subject to licenses

“One important highlight of Duet AI is its approach to safety and confidential
information — it lets us keep our code outside of model training or downstream
analysis that similar assistants may perform, and that’s really important to
us!” - Kai Du, Director of Engineering, Turing
