" summary

Google Chat adds Material Design cards with inline editable widgets so dropdowns and checklists can be changed directly in the chat stream and dialogues can be launched from card buttons, plus upcoming multi column layouts and a carousel widget. The Chat API exposes two Developer Preview methods CreateSpace and CreateMembership to programmatically create spaces and add users (examples use PagerDuty, Jira, Asana) and both require explicit human authorization.
