Google Workspace with Gemini
Also known as: Google Gemini; Gemini for Workspace; Gemini for Google Workspace; Gemini in Gmail
Gemini is built into Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Meet and Drive, so it drafts emails, takes meeting notes and summarizes files where you already work. Included in Google Workspace business plans, billed per user per month, with a 14-day free trial; see Google's pricing page for current US prices (checked November 2026).
