Every business wants to implement AI, and many already have. We all want to take advantage of the promises of supercharged productivity, automated basic tasks, and easier and faster work.
But where do you start, particularly if you have a “regular” business that doesn’t have a specialized need for AI solutions? Many have just started with ChatGPT and similar AI assistants. The problem with these solutions is that their free versions are limited, and the sensitive company data you enter into them can be used to train their own large language models - making your data effectively public. Nobody wants their hard work used by their competition to generate content or get new clients, which is a scenario that can happen if you’re using OpenAI.
Gemini for Google Workspace brings the power of artificial intelligence to all businesses with a secure, robust solution that works seamlessly with Google Workspace. There is no longer any need for a separate account for your AI assistant—you just turn Gemini on, and it works in all of your commonly used Google Workspace apps, from Gmail to Docs to Slides and beyond. It offers the same capabilities as ChatGPT and much more, as well as the peace of mind of knowing that your company data is secure.
Gemini for Workspace and Add-Ons
There are two basic levels of Gemini for Workspace for businesses. You choose the users that it will apply to and pay an extra fee per month for those users. You do not need to purchase it for everyone in your organization, but we recommend it for maximum efficiency.
1) Gemini Business
Generative AI tools sufficient for most businesses with monthly usage limits.
2) Gemini Enterprise
Generative AI with full access and usage, additional features for AI-powered meetings, and security protections. Despite the name, Google Enterprise is really for businesses with heavy generative AI use that will routinely go over the monthly usage limits that come with Gemini Business. Large enterprises can still use Gemini Business if they regularly use the core functions of Gemini for Google Workspace.
Optional Add-Ons
Gemini Enterprise provides a complete suite of AI features while existing Google Workspace and Gemini Business users who need specific capabilities can opt for these standalone add-ons instead.
AI Meetings and Messaging
This add-on offers AI-powered features in Google Meet for richer meetings and more effective collaboration. Since Gemini for Workspace already includes enhancements for meetings and scheduling, this add-on is really for Google Meet power users.
AI Security
AI-powered capabilities for admins to raise their security posture by automating data protection. We recommend this add-on for all Gemini for Workspace users due to the protections it offers for a low monthly cost. While it isn’t necessary to have in order to make Gemini a secure solution, we recommend it anyway for extra protection.
As far as regular Gemini security goes, Google creates a firewall around your company data, which is not used to train Gemini or any of its other AI products. Your sensitive data always stays protected and secure within your ecosystem.
Gemini for Google Workspace: Capabilities and Features
Once you’ve switched Gemini for Google Workspace on, you can begin to use a range of features that seriously expand the capabilities of Google Workspace. The following are just some of those features.
AI writing assistant for Google Docs and Slides
When you have Gemini for Google Workspace, you can ditch Grammarly, ChatGPT, and similar solutions entirely. You can use Gemini to create a sales presentation, marketing campaigns, or anything your imagination can come up with. Google has even come up with a handy guide for you for prompts to get the most out of creating with Gemini, tailored to each job function. All you have to do is put in your prompts and sit back while Gemini does most of the work for you.
Streamline repetitive tasks
Using Gemini capabilities, you can easily create templates for presentations or documents you regularly use and just go in and fill in the blanks for new clients.
Write better emails that engage
Be top of mind with your clients by making an excellent impression in your emails. Impress your teammates and managers with clear, concise emails that get your point across every time. Gemini’s enhancements to Gmail make you sound polished and tone-perfect in every email.
Be your own research analyst
Discover trends, easily summarize complex data, and find new business opportunities to drive growth for your business. If you’re still on the fence, discover how one of our clients got in on Gemini for early access and has successfully used it to transform how they run their business.
Look professional in meetings and presentations
Easily generate graphics in meetings, documents, and sales presentations. Very soon, this capability will be extended to video creation with Google Vids.
UpCurve Cloud’s AI Readiness Program
Our company has been a Google Partner for many years, since the inception of reseller programs for Google. The benefit of buying from a reseller rather than directly from Google is more personalized service and significant implementation experience. We’ve helped over 6,000 businesses make the transition to Google Workspace over the past two decades in every industry sector.
Being able to talk to or email a person with questions and problems is invaluable in an era when nearly all support is done through support tickets. Ironically, this is especially true with AI implementation. The human touch is required to make AI do exactly what you need it to, and we can guide you through the process with our AI Readiness Program.
Personalized Consultation
Each business in our AI Readiness Program receives a personalized consultation to determine what the company needs are and how Gemini for Workspace can fill those needs. As one of Gemini’s highest-volume resellers, we can make sure that your Gemini implementation is right-sized to your budget.
We will also be able to recommend highly advanced Gemini functionality over and above what you need for Google Workspace where it is required.
Custom Implementation Plan
Once we’ve consulted with you about what you need, you’ll receive a clear plan for implementation and rollout of Gemini for Google Workspace. This typically includes the number of users, suggested add-ons, any required staff training, and more.
Implementation of Gemini for Google Workspace does not involve any downtime for your business - it is simply a feature that is switched on in the background.
Early Access to Gemini features
As our customer, you get early access to any new Gemini features that are rolling out. Typically, these are announced by Google throughout the year, with customers of trusted resellers like UpCurve receiving beta access. We will send you email updates when these features become available and you can choose to opt-in for early access.
Trying out Gemini’s features for yourself is the only way you’re going to see if it will make a difference in your business. Contact us for a demonstration and we’ll show you how you can grow your business with Gemini, all for a low monthly cost per user.
