SMB Owners for Google Workspace AI Feature Evaluation

Overview of the SMB Owners for Google Workspace AI Feature Evaluation Project

We are seeking genuine U.S.-based Small Business (SMB) owners / Self Employed, such as Real Estate Agents, Marketing Consultants, Ad Agencies, and Service Providers, to support the evaluation and improvement of new AI features integrated into Google Workspace. This project partners with active business owners to test AI capabilities within their existing professional environments, ensuring that AI-generated outputs in Gmail, Docs, Sheets, and Chat are relevant, accurate, and supportive of real-world business workflows.

Your Role and Responsibilities

• Execute AI Rating Assignments: Complete 2 specific rating assignments involving your daily business communications and documentation.
• Validate AI within Workspace: Test features across Google Docs (collaboration/comments), Sheets, and Chat to verify utility in a live business context.
• Apply Privacy Best Practices: Anonymize sensitive client or financial data during the evaluation (e.g., renaming "$10,000" to "$123" or "John Smith" to "ABCD") while maintaining context.
• Adhere to Pilot Timelines: Commit to a 48-hour turnaround time for assignment submission post-training.

This is a paid pilot engagement (approx. 4 hours total) where you will be given 2 Tasks to rate designed for active business owners, not a full-time employment role.

Why This Project Matters

• Seamless Integration: Evaluation is behavior-based and conducted via your existing Gmail/Workspace account, allowing you to continue your daily work without disruption.
• Influence AI Development: Provide critical feedback that shapes how AI tools serve the SMB community before wider release.
• Potential for Scale: High-quality contributions (100% accuracy) may lead to further opportunities in the ramp-up phase.
