The revolution is here for Google Workspace, and it’s arrived in the form of Gemini for Google Workspace. Gemini completely transforms Google Workspace without the need for your staff to leave any of the apps they regularly use - Gemini just makes them better.
While Google has rolled out a very basic version of Gemini to all Google Workspace clients, nearly all of the features we’re calling out for your business to start using in 2025 are only available with Gemini for Google Workspace, which is available for a low cost per user as an add-on. It will pay for itself almost immediately in enhanced productivity, enabling faster and better work from all of your people.
These are just our picks for the features that we think will return the biggest wins for your business in 2025. Gemini for Google Workspace offers much more.
1) Better Emails To Clients, Potential Clients, and Co-Workers
Like it or not, we still communicate mostly by email. One of Gemini’s biggest superpowers is upping your email game by changing your tone, shortening your emails, and so much more. It’s especially helpful when you have a difficult email you need to send, such as checking on a late project or needing to communicate something negative to a client. Here’s how to use it.
To start, we recommend using the “Polish” command to refine your draft - you’ll see right away how Gemini can help you out with everyday tasks. Then, you can explore more options, such as using it to elevate your email marketing and much more.
2) Automatic Video Creation With Google Vids
Google Vids has really upped the video creation game over similar tools such as HeyGen or Canva. Now, most Google Workspace users have access to the ability to automatically generate videos, making doing a quick video for a social media post or presentation a reality. Rather than searching for stock images to add to your video, all users can use the “Help me create” function to generate images which match what they’re looking for - a huge time saver when your goal is a fast turnaround.
You can create images of people holding your products in exotic locations, tailor visuals to specific situations, regionalize pictures to match a client's location, and much more—all for a professional video you can create in minutes.
While Google Vids is now widely available to most Workspace customers, only Gemini for Google Workspace users can ask Gemini to create a storyboard for the video and then generate it using Google Vids. If you don’t have Gemini, you can still use the templates and other features that come with Google Vids. Additionally, if you have Gemini for Google Workspace, you can take advantage of automatic image creation in Docs, Sheets, and Slides too.
