Gemini in Google Workspace

Gemini built directly into Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Meet and Drive. The old add-on SKU is gone: as of 2026 every paid Workspace plan includes Gemini, with the deeper Docs and Sheets features starting at Business Standard. This is the version most UK SMEs will actually use day to day.

• Help me write in Gmail and Docs, with the company's own Drive content as grounding
• Sheets formula generation, data cleaning and chart suggestions from natural language
• Meet note-taking, transcription and action item extraction in real time
• Side panel chat in every app that can reference the document, thread or sheet open in front of you
• Enterprise data residency and admin controls; content not used to train models

• Draft a reply to a long supplier email chain with the right tone and history
• Generate first-draft minutes plus owners and dates from a Meet recording
• Build a Sheets margin model from a verbal brief instead of fiddling with INDEX MATCH
• Turn a Drive folder of policy PDFs into a Q&A side panel for the operations team
• Produce a Slides client update deck from a Doc in one prompt

Quality is uneven across surfaces; Meet notes and Gmail are strong, Slides generation is still rough. Business Starter only gets Gmail and the Gemini app, not the full suite. If your team is half on Microsoft 365, you are paying for both Copilot and Gemini.

Included in Workspace plans: Business Starter from £6.65/user/month (limited Gemini); Business Standard £13.20/user/month (full Gemini in Docs, Sheets, Meet); Business Plus £21.10/user/month. Pricing rises modestly from 14 September 2026.
