E013 - New Google Chat UI on the web and PWA, New Drive and Vault search operators, New Google Workspace Frontline SKU is available, huge update to Workspace Addons and more!

Written By Jesse Nowlin

No guest this week, just an hour of updates and analysis from our hosts Jesse and Steve. There are a bunch of major updates this week and a few smaller but still important ones. Apologies for some of the family sounds in my audio, we had to record on Friday during the day when the kids were home and playing due to being offline Monday for Passover. ~Jesse
