Try / AI assistant

Gemini

Google's AI assistant across chat, search-adjacent research, and Google Workspace productivity workflows.

Try

Worth testing when your team already lives in Google Workspace, but do not treat it as a blanket replacement for source review, workspace permissions, or data policy.

Pricing

The free tier is enough for occasional drafting and research. Teams should compare Google AI and Workspace add-on economics before buying seats broadly. Needs manual review for regional, Workspace, and enterprise pricing.
