Introduction

As a Google Workspace admin, navigating the additional features and enhancements offered to your organization's suite of tools is crucial. One such feature is the Gemini add-on, which brings Google's generative AI capabilities to your Workspace environment. However, many users may be uncertain about its availability and cost implications. This article will clarify these aspects, providing you with insights into whether Gemini is part of your current subscription.

What is the Gemini Add-On?

Gemini is a set of generative AI tools available as add-ons to Google Workspace. These tools enhance applications like Gmail, Google Docs, and more, offering features that aid in productivity and collaboration. They are particularly beneficial for businesses seeking to leverage AI to automate tasks and improve user experience.

Is Gemini Included in Google Workspace Subscription?

Gemini is not a standard component of any Google Workspace subscription. It is an add-on that incurs an additional cost, on top of your existing Google Workspace plan. Therefore, to use Gemini features, your organization needs to specifically purchase the Gemini add-on.

Understanding Gemini Pricing

Gemini features require a subscription separate from standard Google Workspace editions. The pricing is as follows:

  • Gemini Business: $24 USD per user per month (or $20 USD with an annual plan)
  • Gemini Enterprise: $36 USD per user per month (or $30 USD with an annual plan)
  • AI Meetings & Messaging: Available at an additional $12 USD per user per month
  • AI Security: Also available for an additional $12 USD per user per month

Steps to Access Gemini Features

  1. Verify Subscription Needs: Determine if your organization benefits from AI-enhanced tools in applications like Gmail and Google Docs.
  2. Select Appropriate Plan: Choose between Gemini Business or Gemini Enterprise based on the required features and organization size.
  3. Purchase Add-On: Coordinate with your billing administrator to purchase the desired Gemini add-on through your Google Workspace admin console.

Additional Considerations

  • Language Settings: Gemini features are accessible in multiple languages, including English, Spanish, and Portuguese.
  • Feature Availability: Some features might only be available in certain Google Products and require specific language settings.
