Google has announced a series of updates to its Gemini generative AI platform, including a new Gemini experience built into the Workspace office software suite.
Gemini for Google Workspace will now be available from an updated side panel within online office applications, offering its GenAI capabilities such as generating overviews from the same window.
The updates revolve around the company's latest version, Gemini 1.5 Pro, which was unveiled during its Google I/O conference.

With access to the latest model, which is a successor to the 1.5 model introduced earlier this year, Gemini for Workspace should be able to generate deeper analysis and answers from more data sets.
Gemini 1.5 Pro also offers a longer context length, allowing you to handle and process more content in one go. Gemini within the Gmail interface, for example, can summarize the contents of multiple emails in one go.
Google has also made progress when it comes to the accessibility of its GenAI tool, which will now be more integrated into the mobile experience, starting with the Gmail app.
In the app, users will be able to generate summaries, compose intelligent contextual responses, and even interact with emails by asking Gemini successive questions.
More broadly, Google has also revealed plans to support more languages. 'Help me write', which was released in English, will soon be available in Spanish and Portuguese. Spanish is believed to be the fourth most spoken language worldwide.
In addition to adding the capabilities to the Gemini for Workspace plugin, many of Gemini's enhanced capabilities will also be available on the Google One AI Premium consumer plan, priced at $19.99 per month.
