Suppose your company is eager to leverage the power of Google’s Gemini AI. In that case, the tech giant’s recent announcement will likely be music to your ears. Soon, you’ll enjoy the enhanced productivity of AI-powered assistance thanks to Gemini AI’s Google Workspace integration. Business users who subscribe to Google Workspace, Business, and Frontline plans will automatically have access to powerful AI tools.
The expansion of Gemini AI and its machine learning capabilities into Google Workspace means millions of users can now access the platform. Subscribers will no longer need to purchase it as an add-on. Anyone who doesn’t have a subscription will need to invest in one at $20 a month to add the functionality to their Google suite (e.g., Docs, Sheets, etc.)
Get Stuff Done With Google Workspace Integration
Large language models and machine learning capabilities are revolutionizing the way we work. From automating tasks to providing valuable insights that would take weeks or months to glean otherwise, Gemini AI and similar tools are freeing our time to focus on bigger priorities and produce more meaningful and creative work.
The evidence is more than anecdotal. In the Workspace integration announcement, Google cites in-house research that supports AI’s place in the modern workplace. According to the surveys, AI-powered assistance allows workers to regain over an hour and a half of their daily work time. Three-quarters of the enterprise users also say that using Gemini AI improves their work quality.
Enhanced Productivity Without Enhanced Risk
One of the biggest stumbling blocks for many companies hesitant to integrate AI-powered tools into their daily workflows is security. The Google Workspace integration of Gemini AI addresses such concerns with various security features designed to ensure your company’s security, privacy, and compliance policies aren’t at risk.
First, the application offers administrators total control over storing and managing user prompts and responses. Security administrators will soon be able to determine whether the system will store that data and, if so, for how long.
Second, Google will not use the prompts and responses from within your organization to train the large language models. To improve Gemini's generative AI capabilities, they will not access or mine your company’s data, including anything within Gmail, Docs, or other applications.
Finally, Gemini AI’s Workspace integration carries critical security and privacy certifications, including ISO 27701 and SOC 1/2/3, for extra peace of mind.
Introducing the Security Advisor
This latest Google Workspace upgrade also includes a security advisor, a full-featured security toolkit for IT administrators to remain one step ahead of threats like malware and phishing. In addition to delivering personalized and actionable insights directly to security teams, the tool offers security features for improved data protection and safe browsing. The toolkit will help your organization thwart imminent cyber threats and maintain a stronger security posture.
Google expects to roll out the Gemini AI integration into paid business accounts by the end of October 2024.
