Google Workspace is Google’s productivity suite for businesses. It includes Gmail with your own domain, Drive storage, Docs, Sheets and Slides, Meet video calls, Calendar and admin controls.
In Gmail, Gemini can sum up long threads, pull out important details and help you write professional emails. In Meet, Gemini can handle note-taking while you stay focused on the discussion. In Docs, it can create formatted first drafts that match your tone, voice and style. Vids is a collaborative video editor, and Gemini Notebook is an AI research assistant. Other apps include Forms for surveys, Sites for team and project sites, Keep for notes and AppSheet for no-code apps.
Google pitches Workspace at new businesses and startups that need business email domains, and at small businesses with everyday tasks like scheduling appointments. Professional addresses work for individual team members and for group lists such as a sales address. Shared drives keep a team’s work in one place so everyone stays up to date. You can join a Meet video meeting from your inbox or calendar with a single click, and guests don’t need a Google Account.
Google Workspace has tools to migrate email, contacts and calendar data from Microsoft Exchange and Outlook. Admins use the Admin console to assign admin roles, turn off services they don’t want people to use and enforce mobile policies on Android and iOS, including remote wipe. Apps Script lets you automate, integrate and extend Workspace, and the Marketplace lists apps to browse and install. Google says its support team is available around the clock, and partner IT companies can help you deploy and move to Workspace.
Business Starter, Standard and Plus are priced per user, with more features on higher plans. You can pay on an annual plan or a flexible monthly plan. Current prices are in the pricing box above.
