Gemini Add-ons will no longer appear under subscriptions in the Admin console for Workspace Business and Enterprise customers

What’s changing

In January 2025, we announced our plan to bring premium AI features directly to our Business and Enterprise offerings, helping our customers and their users boost productivity, creativity, and innovation, transforming how they work. We also stopped charging for Gemini add-ons that you may have purchased previously for your Business and Enterprise offerings after January 31, 2025.

This week, as part of a shift in our offerings, we will begin removing references to the Gemini Enterprise, Gemini Business, AI Meetings & Messages, and AI Security add-ons from the Subscriptions page within the Admin console (Menu > Billing > Subscriptions). This change will apply to customers whose Workspace edition now includes all functionality previously available with these add-ons. 

For example, if you had a Workspace Business Standard or Enterprise Standard subscription and a Gemini Business add-on, the add-on is no longer needed since the applicable AI features are now included in your Workspace subscription.

Important note: There will be no disruptions in service or changes in feature availability with this change. This change will have no effect on your bill.

Getting started

  • Admins: No action is needed – we will make these updates to the Subscriptions page automatically. 
  • End users: There is no end user impact or action required.

Rollout pace

  • This update will begin taking effect starting June 25, 2025 and may take several weeks to rollout for affected customers.

Availability

  • This update impacts Google Workspace customers who previously purchased Gemini add-ons

Updates to the GitHub app for Google Chat

What’s changing 

Last year, we made updates to the Google Chat integration with GitHub, a cloud-based platform that enables users to store, share and collaborate with others to write code. Today, we’re excited to announce additional updates and functionality that improve upon the overall experience using the GitHub app for Google Chat. 

Starting today, users will have the ability to: 
  • Choose from additional controls for repository notification subscriptions, allowing users to set notifications according to their needs. For example, users can subscribe only to notifications when a deployment fails, or set notifications for Pull Requests assigned only to a particular individual. 
  • Create scheduled reminders, providing a new way for teams to stay on top of open pull requests. 
  • Set personal reminders to help keep track of pull requests that require review.

See summaries of even more file types directly in Google Chat

What’s changing 

Earlier this year, we introduced the ability for users to easily summarize Google Docs, Slides, and Sheets files shared within a Google Chat conversation. Today, we’re excited to expand this feature to PDF, Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), CSV, txt, and zip files shared as Drive links in Chat.

Simply click the new “Summarize this file” button that appears within the respective file preview card in the conversation, and Gemini will summarize the file so you can get a quick overview without having to leave Chat.

Generate data with Gemini in Google Sheets

What’s changing

Currently, you can utilize Gemini in Google Sheets to generate charts and valuable insights, and today we’re excited to bring AI directly into the cells of your spreadsheet with the power of AI function. 

From a cell, you can now input a specific prompt describing what you would like to do and an optional data range, and Gemini can do the following: 
  • Use relevant information from your spreadsheet to generate text that is tailored to your specific data. 
  • Summarize information by analyzing the content of your spreadsheet and highlighting the most important parts, so you can quickly understand your data. 
  • Categorize your data into meaningful groups, so you can easily detect patterns, such as user sentiment. ai functions in sheets

Here are some examples of how you’d use this feature: 
  • Text generation: 
    • =AI(“Write a formal ad copy for the product. Cater copy to the objective and target audience”, A2:C2) 
    • =AI("Create an email to the reviewer addressing specific items in their reviews.", A2:G2) 
  • Summarization: 
    • =AI("For the customer, write a one sentence summary of their feedback.", A2:D2) 
    • =AI("You are the owner of a pet sitting business. Write a 2 sentence summary for the customer about their pet’s last stay. Be a little funny.", F2) 
  • Categorization: 
    • =AI("Categorize the customer inquiry as a compliment, exchange request, or return request.",C2) 
    • =AI("Perform sentiment analysis on the emails sent by the customers to the barbershop.", C2)
If you want to refer to two ranges that aren’t contiguous, you can use concatenation in the prompt. Here are a few examples: 
  • =AI("Write a review of the hot sauce "&A2&" using only the ingredients "&D2&" and the popularity "&E2&".", A2:D2) 
  • =AI("Find the major themes in the customer feedback of "&B2&" using the rating "&C2&" and comments: "&D2&".")

Why you’d use it 

Now you can create hundreds of rows of data quickly to do things like categorize user feedback requests or write personalized emails, all without being an expert in data or spreadsheets. Regardless of your data needs, with instant access to Gemini from any cell in your Sheet, the Al function helps you get work done faster. 

Additional details 

  • We currently support text-based responses for text generation, summarization, categorization, and sentiment analysis queries. While the input information is optional, we recommend using it for optimal results. 
  • After generating, if an explicitly referenced cell or the prompt is updated, the cell shows an out-of-sync state, and keeps the previous output for reference. 
  • To refresh a cell, you can select one or multiple cells and press “refresh and insert.” 
  • You can select multiple cells with AI functions and generate outputs; however, only the first 200 selected cells with AI functions will be generated. You can wait for the generation to complete and select more cells to generate outputs.
