BBVA and Google Cloud today announced the deployment of Google Workspace with Gemini across the global operations of the bank. This initiative will empower BBVAs 100,000 employees worldwide with secure generative AI experiences in tools like Gmail, Google Docs, Google Sheets, and more. Today, BBVA employees report that automating repetitive tasks with AI saves them nearly three hours per week on average, freeing up valuable time for more strategic, customer-focused work.
BBVA has collaborated with Google Cloud to digitally transform its operations since 2011. Now, BBVA employees will gain a powerful collaborative assistant embedded within Google Workspaces productivity tools they use every day, further solidifying BBVAs position as a frontrunner in leveraging technology for business transformation. BBVA employees will use Gemini to help summarize, draft, and find information across emails, chats, and files create professional documents, presentations, spreadsheets, and videos and even take notes and collaborate better on calls.
Beyond Google Workspace with Gemini, BBVA employees will leverage the standalone Gemini app and NotebookLM, an AI-powered research and writing assistant, to help with tasks like research, generating audio overviews of complex findings, creating reports, and more.
The partnership with Google Cloud allows us to continue transforming how our teams work, make decisions, and collaborate-using the most competitive generative AI models on the market, said Elena Alfaro , Global Head of AI Adoption at BBVA. We anticipate that Gemini with Workspace has the potential to simplify tasks and spark new ideas, which will significantly boost the productivity and innovation of our teams.
BBVA transformed the way we work with Google Workspace more than ten years ago, explained Juan Ortigosa , Global Head of Workplace at BBVA. We expect that the widespread adoption of generative AI across these tools will improve productivity and the work experience of all employees, regardless of their role, fostering a more dynamic and efficient environment.
