Introducing Gemini for Google Workspace, plus more AI offerings to better meet your business needs

February 21, 2024 — On February 8, Google announced the next chapter of the Gemini era. As part of this change, starting today, the Duet AI for Google Workspace Enterprise add-on is now called Gemini Enterprise.

Gemini Enterprise includes full usage and access to generative AI features in Workspace, such as helping me write, organize, and visualize, and more. Gemini Enterprise will continue to be the best way to get Google's most advanced AI features, like live translated captions in Meet.

Google also introducing Gemini Business, which is available to new and existing Google Workspace customers (see the availability section below for more details). Gemini Business is a Workspace add-on subscription that provides a subset of the generative AI features available in Gemini Enterprise, subject to monthly usage limits. With tools to enhance productivity, boost creativity, and save you time, Gemini Business is a good option for businesses looking to get started with generative AI.

In addition, customers of Gemini Enterprise and Gemini Business can now chat directly with Gemini through a new standalone experience (gemini.google.com). This experience, which starts rolling out today, is built on Google 1.0 Ultra model*, and provides enterprise-grade data protections and admin controls.

Gemini can be a starting point for work and a better way to research, brainstorm, and analyze information—all with the capability to double-check responses with confidence. With a Gemini Business and Gemini Enterprise plan, your conversations are not used for advertising purposes, reviewed by human reviewers, nor used to improve generative machine-learning technologies.
