Google Gemini is Google's family of AI models, available as a standalone assistant and embedded across Google Workspace (Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Meet) and Google Ads. For RevOps teams working in Google Workspace, Gemini is the most frictionless AI upgrade — it drafts emails, summarises documents, analyses spreadsheets, and researches topics from inside the tools the team already lives in.
Product Overview
Gemini for Workspace adds AI to every Google app: draft an email in Gmail with one prompt, get a meeting summary from Meet, analyse a data table in Sheets, or generate a presentation in Slides. Gemini's integration with Google Search means it has access to current information and can cross-reference web sources in its answers. For marketing and RevOps teams running Google Ads and Analytics, Gemini surfaces campaign insights and optimisation suggestions directly in the platform.
