Google Workspace with Gemini

Google Workspace with Gemini is Google’s cloud productivity suite with integrated generative AI features. Gemini operates inside Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drive, Meet and Chat, while the Gemini app provides a separate conversational workspace.

Available capabilities depend on the Google Workspace edition. Business plans include the Gemini app and AI functions in Workspace applications, with broader access on higher tiers. Administrators can control access, integrations and data permissions.

The service supports browser-based work and mobile access. Google also provides APIs, Apps Script, Chat apps, add-ons and Marketplace extensions for organizations that need custom workflows.

Gemini in Gmail can summarize threads, provide search overviews, draft messages, proofread writing, suggest replies and recommend meeting times.

In Docs, Gemini can draft, rewrite, summarize and proofread content. In Sheets, it can organize data, create tables and help surface insights. Slides supports AI-generated images and presentation assistance.

Meet includes AI-assisted note taking on eligible editions. Gemini also supports side-panel assistance in Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drive and Chat.

The Gemini app supports conversational work such as brainstorming, planning, coding, deep research and data analysis. Some Workspace editions also include NotebookLM enhancements and Workspace Studio for no-code automation.

Third-party integrations are available through the Workspace Marketplace. Google documents integrations including Asana, Atlassian-Rovo for Jira and Confluence, HubSpot, Mailchimp, Monday.com, QuickBooks and Salesforce. Current integrations are primarily read-only.
