Google adds Workspace Intelligence and Gemini to Workspace
At Google Cloud Next, Google announced it is adding AI Overviews to Gmail for Workspace users. The Gemini-powered feature provides instant, natural-language answers and concise summaries pulled from across multiple emails and conversations, letting users query Gmail search with plain language. AI Overviews will be the default when Gemini for Workspace and Workspace Intelligence access to Gmail are enabled; admins and end users must also have Google Workspace smart features enabled. The capability was previously available to consumers via Google AI Pro and Ultra subscriptions and will now roll out to business, enterprise and education Workspace tiers (including Business and Enterprise editions and Frontline Plus), while AI Overviews in Drive is being made broadly available after beta.
