Gemini in Gmail is the default choice for organizations already paying for Google Workspace, because the AI sits inside the inbox people use every day. Google documents three core jobs: summarizing long threads, with buttons for detailed summaries, next steps and action items; Help me write, which drafts a full email from a short prompt and can pull details from a Google Drive file; and contextual Smart Reply suggestions. Gemini can also rewrite and polish drafts and answer questions about a topic or a specific sender. It is available on desktop and mobile for business and personal accounts. What it does not offer is the automation of dedicated assistants: there are no prompt-based filters, automatic labels or replies drafted in the background. We could not confirm US dollar Workspace pricing from our location, so check Google's pricing page for the current per-user cost before you buy.
