Google Workspace gets smarter: AI is now standard for every business

Are you feeling the pressure to do more with less? Do you struggle to keep up with the ever-increasing demands on your time and resources? What if there was a way to work smarter, not harder, and gain a competitive edge? 

For years, Google Workspace has been the place where teams collaborate, develop ideas, and grow. Whether you work at a small business or a large organization, Workspace helps you get things done. And now it’s becoming even easier. 

Google has added AI to Google Workspace. And you don’t have to pay extra if you’re already using Google Workspace (Business or Enterprise). It’s simply included. 

 

What does this mean for me? 

Imagine this: You type emails faster because Gmail helps you find the right words. Or you get a summary of a long email, so you immediately know what it’s about. You no longer have to stare at a blank screen when you need to write a document. Docs helps you get started, gives suggestions, and summarizes long texts. 

Data analysis becomes a lot less complicated. Sheets helps you discover patterns and makes spreadsheets easier to understand. Meetings become more productive. Meet can automatically take notes, and if you join late, you immediately get a short summary of what has already been discussed.

Go even further with Gemini Advanced and NotebookLM Plus 

But that’s not all. Google is also bringing even more advanced AI power to Workspace with: 

  • Gemini Advanced: Your AI partner for bigger challenges. With the Gemini app, you can brainstorm ideas, develop plans, and tackle complex projects right from your laptop or phone. You can even create “Gems,” which are like your own team of AI experts, customized to assist with specific, repetitive tasks. 
  • NotebookLM Plus: Imagine having a smart research assistant for every employee. Just upload your documents, articles, or reports, and NotebookLM Plus can give you instant insights and audio summaries. It’s perfect for getting up to speed on new topics quickly or for onboarding new team members. You can even share customized Notebooks with your team to boost collective knowledge. 

Simpler and more affordable 

AI used to be complicated and expensive, often requiring separate add-ons and complex pricing structures. But Google is now making it simpler and more affordable than ever to get the AI power you need with Google Workspace. They’ve eliminated the need to worry about separate AI add-ons. Now, everything is included in one streamlined plan. 
 
For example, customers who previously needed both Workspace Business Standard and the Gemini Business add-on were paying $32 per user, per month. Now, they get all those AI features – and more – for just $14 per user, per month. That’s a huge saving!  

 

Safe and reliable 

Of course, security is paramount. You don’t have to worry about your data. Google doesn’t use your data, prompts, or generated responses to train AI models outside of your domain without permission. Your data remains yours, and Google doesn’t sell it or use it for ad targeting.  
 
Consequently, Gemini for Workspace is one of the first AI productivity solutions to attain safety, privacy, and security certifications, including SOC 1/2/3, ISO 27001/17/18, and ISO 42001.
