Artificial intelligence is no longer a separate tool—it is becoming part of how we work every day. With the integration of Gemini AI across, Google is redefining productivity by embedding intelligence directly into email, documents, spreadsheets, and meetings.
Instead of switching between apps or relying on third-party tools, Workspace users now have AI assistance built into their daily workflow.
