Gemini + Workspace

Supercharge productivity by merging the intelligence of Gemini with the power of Workspace

My role

As UX Manager, I led the team and drove quality for the launch of one Gemini's first and and most broadly used collection of Extensions.

Challenge

Natural language AI chat brings a new level of intent understanding and interactivity, but its potential was shackled by siloed deployments. Passing a Turing test is dazzling, but Agentic AI is the dream. How might AI make users' daily lives easier?

Solution

By connecting Gemini to Workspace apps, users can use natural language for CUJs from adding items to their shopping list to summarizing their most important emails each morning to conversational calendar management.

Simple & transparent

Level up Gemini and your entire experience in the Google product ecosystem with Gemini Extensions.

As simple as flipping a switch, turning on Extensions enables Gemini to interact with your Gmail, Docs, Drive, and so much more, supercharging your productivity.

Personal, relevant, contextual

Grounded in your Workspace account's context and connected to its capabilities, Extensions take Gemini's AI wizardry to an entirely new level, with you wherever you are, so you can do more, with ease.

Chatty, in a good way

Once connected to Workspace, Gemini can respond conversationally to a host of interrogations about your day, your to-do list, your reminders, etc. Just ask with your voice or keyboard, and Gemini interprets your intent and connects to the relevant Google service to get you what you need to know.
