Google is introducing AI tools powered by Gemini for businesses.
Google said on Wednesday that some of its artificial intelligence tools for businesses will be powered by the company’s Gemini AI models and will be available at a lower cost, as it looks to compete with Microsoft-backed OpenAI.
Last August, the Alphabet unit introduced the “Duet AI in Workspace” series of AI assistants that could write in Google Docs, draft emails in Gmail, and create custom visuals in Google Slides, among other things, for $30 a month. user for businesses.
“Duet AI in Workspace” has been rebranded as “Gemini for Google Workspace” and is now available for $20 and $30 per user per month, based on available features, in addition to a Google Workspace subscription.
OpenAI sells the package, which includes the artificial intelligence model GPT-4 and the image creation tool DALL·E, for individuals for $20 per user per month and for businesses from $25 per user per month.
Companies are looking to deploy services based on generative artificial intelligence, widely considered a breakthrough technology that is attracting billions of dollars in investment and interest from customers for its ability to automate tasks and produce human-like responses.
Microsoft invested in ChatGPT maker OpenAI, taking a lead by quickly adopting genAI capabilities in several of its products, including the company’s productivity software and cloud.
Google said Wednesday that individual users can now use Gemini in their personal Gmail, Docs, Slides, Sheets and Meet apps by subscribing to Google One AI Premium, which offers additional storage and features in Gmail, Drive and Photos.
Google Workspace users also get a separate Chat with Gemini chat experience, and conversations in this tool are not used for advertising purposes.
