Google AI explained for business

Google’s AI tools can help you write, research, work with documents and automate routine tasks. Start with the tool that matches the job and the Google account your team uses.

Choose the tool for the task

Gemini

Ask, write and explore

Use Google’s AI assistant to ask questions, work through ideas and prepare drafts.

Example: “Turn these meeting notes into a clear project update.”

Gemini in Workspace

Work inside your apps

Use supported AI features in tools such as Gmail, Docs, Sheets and Meet. Availability depends on your Workspace edition and settings.

Example: “Summarise this email conversation and help me draft a reply.”

Gems

Reuse your instructions

Create a customised version of Gemini with instructions for a recurring task, so you do not have to explain the same requirements each time.

Example: “Use our usual tone and structure when drafting customer emails.”

Gemini Notebook

Understand your sources

Formerly NotebookLM

Bring together documents and other sources, then ask questions and explore summaries with references back to the material.

Example: “Compare these supplier documents and show where each answer comes from.”

Workspace Studio

Automate a process

Build and manage workflows across supported apps using plain-language instructions and configurable steps.

Example: “When an email needs my attention, label it and notify me in Google Chat.”

Example

Make important emails easier to spot

Set up a Workspace Studio flow to identify incoming emails that match your criteria, apply a label and notify the right person in Google Chat.

Configure and test the flow before enabling it. Give it access only to the information and actions it needs.

What does it cost?

Some Google AI features are included in Workspace subscriptions. Availability and limits vary by edition; personal Google AI plans and developer services are separate offerings. Check what your existing subscription includes first.

Questions businesses ask.

How do Gemini and Gemini Notebook differ?

Gemini is a general assistant. Gemini Notebook focuses on helping you understand a collection of sources and check answers against them.

Is a Gem the same as an automated workflow?

A Gem reuses instructions when you work with it. Workspace Studio is designed to run a configured sequence of steps triggered by an event or schedule.

Do we need a developer?

You can use Gemini, Gems and many Studio workflows without coding. Custom integrations or more complex processes may need technical support.

Can staff use it with business information?

Use your organisation’s approved account and settings. Personal accounts and Workspace services have different terms and controls; check which applies before connecting business information.
