Overview
Gemini is Google's AI assistant for writing, research and summarising. As well as a standalone web app, it is built into Google Workspace, so it can help directly inside Docs, Gmail, Sheets and Slides.
That integration is its main draw: teams already living in Google’s tools can draft emails, summarise long documents and pull answers without switching apps. It handles large amounts of context well, which suits working across long files.
A free tier covers general use; the deeper Workspace features sit on paid plans. As with any assistant, output quality varies by task, so treat its answers as a starting point to check.
