Google's enterprise AI assistant — originally launched as Duet AI for Workspace in 2023, rebranded to Gemini for Google Workspace in early 2024, and now simply Gemini inside Workspace apps as of 2026 — embeds Google's Gemini family of models across Docs, Sheets, Slides, Gmail, Meet, and Drive. In 2026, Google consolidated SKUs: Gemini Business ($20/user/mo) and Gemini Enterprise ($30/user/mo) are now bundled into Google Workspace editions at no extra cost for most tiers.
Gemini for Workspace is Google's enterprise-grade AI assistant grounded on your Workspace data — Gmail, Drive, Calendar, Meet transcripts — with the same data-isolation guarantees as Workspace itself (no training on customer content, data staying in-region). The 2026 release line introduced Agentspace, a multi-agent platform that lets enterprises build and orchestrate autonomous agents across Workspace, BigQuery, and third-party SaaS.
IDC's 2026 Productivity AI share report shows Google Workspace with Gemini growing seats 38% YoY, outpacing the market's 22%. Gartner's 2026 Digital Workplace Magic Quadrant named Google a Leader for the first time, citing multimodal and long-context (Gemini 1.5 Pro's 2M token window) as meaningful enterprise differentiators. Forrester's 2026 Wave on AI for Knowledge Workers placed Gemini as a Leader alongside Microsoft Copilot.
Google's own Work Insights 2026 report found Gemini users draft emails 37% faster and generate first-draft slides 4.8× faster.
