Google Introduces New AI Tool for Businesses

Google has launched a new tool called Gemini for Workspace. This tool uses Google's advanced Gemini Ultra 1.0 technology to help businesses do more with apps like Docs and Meet. It also comes with strong protections for company data. Starting today, businesses can choose from two different price plans to use Gemini for Workspace.

Gemini for Workspace is an update and new name for what used to be called Duet AI for Workspace. This change aims to highlight the Gemini name more. Before, the service helped with tasks like writing in Workspace apps. Now, it also offers a separate Gemini chatbot for users to get more work done quickly and safely.

Google's new tool is a way to compete with Microsoft, which has a similar service called Copilot for businesses. Google's Aparna Pappu, who leads the Workspace team, shared that customers can add Gemini to their Workspace apps. There are two options for adding Gemini: one for small businesses and a bigger plan for larger companies with more needs.


Using Gemini, people can write better in Docs and Gmail, use smart features in Sheets, and create images in Slides. These features are also available to personal users through Google One AI Premium Plan. Many small businesses already use Google Workspace, and a survey showed 88% of them are interested in using AI for tasks like data analysis and writing emails. The new Gemini Business add-on is designed to help these businesses be more efficient.

The bigger Enterprise plan offers more access to Gemini, including advanced AI for meetings that can translate captions in many languages and later, take notes during meetings.

Both the small business and enterprise plans come with a special chat feature. This lets users ask Gemini for advice and ideas, like finding topics for marketing emails or writing better content. The service promises to keep business data safe and private.

Google has set the price for the small business plan at $20 per user each month, and the enterprise plan at $30 per user each month. This pricing might make Google's tool more attractive to small businesses compared to Microsoft's Copilot, which costs $30 per user each month for its main plan. Microsoft also has a $20 plan, but it doesn't offer the same level of data protection.
