GoogleAI Assistant

Gemini

Google's Gemini assistant for work: the Gemini app with a work account, and Gemini in Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Meet, and Drive in Google Workspace Business and Enterprise plans. Gemini Enterprise adds search and agents across company apps.

The 30-Second Take

Standardize on Gemini if you already run Workspace Business Standard or above, because it comes with the plan.

The Gemini app and Gemini in Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Meet and Drive are included. Knowledge in Microsoft 365, Slack or Jira needs Gemini Enterprise at extra cost.

Best fit
Organizations whose mail, files, and meetings live in Google Workspace; Business Standard and above include Gemini in Docs and Meet.
Main constraint
Workspace Gemini answers from Workspace content only, so knowledge in Microsoft 365, Slack or Jira needs Gemini Enterprise at extra cost.
First move
Set conversation retention and Drive sharing, then grow use team by team through champions.

Why

Watch the defaults: it arrives switched on and answers from the mail, files and meetings each person can already open. Admins write mostly about controls they could not set, and Stanford declined to switch it on inside Gmail and Docs.

Comparisons

How does Gemini compare with the alternatives?

See all 4 comparisons

  1. Gemini vs ChatGPT

    • AI Assistants

    Start with the Gemini that Google Workspace Business and Enterprise plans include in Gmail, Docs, and Meet. Buy ChatGPT seats only for people who need one assistant across tools beyond the suite.

  2. Gemini vs Claude

    • AI Assistants

    Keep Gemini as the default in the Workspace apps people already use, and add Claude seats for teams that hand off multi-step writing and analysis. Test both on your own tasks before paying for a second seat.

  3. Gemini vs Microsoft Copilot

    • AI Assistants
    • AI Costs

    Choose by the suite your company already runs. Google folds Gemini into Workspace plan prices, while Microsoft includes Copilot Chat and sells full Microsoft Copilot as a per-user add-on at US$21 or US$30, by plan.

What to verify

Qualifying edition

Users without one fall under consumer terms, where chats may be human reviewed.

Details

Check that every user holds a qualifying Workspace edition, since users without one fall under consumer terms, where human reviewers can review their chats. Confirm that Gemini not reading client-side encrypted files is acceptable. Decide whether you need per-app Gemini controls, which among business editions only Enterprise Standard and Plus offer.

Gemini beside the rest of its stackThe Stack Field, every product on every layer
FootprintGemini across the AI Knowledge Work stack. Bar height is its role on each layer.

  1. Assist

    1. AI assistant: Core

      AI assistant, core. This is Gemini's center: the Gemini app on the web, mobile, Chrome, Mac, and Windows is a core service of most Workspace editions, under Workspace data terms. From Business Standard up it has Pro model access and a 1 million token context window.

  2. Find

    1. Web research: Supports

      Web research, supports. Deep Research in the Gemini app writes research reports, 20 a day on Business Standard and above and 5 a month on Business Starter. A dedicated answer engine still owns quick cited lookups for teams that live outside Workspace.

    2. Enterprise search: Core

      Enterprise search, core. Gemini Enterprise, licensed separately from Workspace, runs permission-aware search and grounded answers across Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Slack, Confluence, Jira, Salesforce, and other connected apps. Inside Workspace, Workspace Intelligence searches Gmail, Drive, Calendar, and Chat for Gemini.

  3. Create

    1. Documents: Supports

      Documents, supports. Help me write drafts and rewrites emails in Gmail and documents in Docs, and Gemini in Slides generates images and presentations. The team's documents, templates, and wiki stay in Docs, Drive, or a knowledge tool such as Notion.

    2. Meeting notes: Supports

      Meeting notes, supports. Take notes for me writes meeting notes in Google Meet on Business Standard and above, and admins control whether users let Google AI take notes. Meetings on Zoom, Teams, or in person need a dedicated meeting notes tool.

  4. Analyze

    1. Data analysis: Supports

      Data analysis, supports. Gemini in Sheets builds and edits spreadsheets and runs the AI function, 5,000 calls a month on Business Standard and above. Gemini Enterprise is adding a Data Insights agent for questions about connected data, and governed reporting on warehouse data stays with an analytics tool.

  5. Automate

    1. Automation: Supports

      Automation, supports. Workspace Studio builds AI flows across Workspace apps without code, and Gemini Enterprise adds no-code agents, Google-made agents, and agents brought in over A2A. Automation across many non-Google apps stays with a platform such as Zapier.
