Starting today, Google Workspace suite users can access Gemini-powered AI experiences directly from Gmail, Docs, Sheets, and Meet, for free. Until now, access to Gemini on these services was limited to users with the Google One AI Premium subscription, which costs Rs 1,950 per month.

“We believe AI is foundational to the future of work, and its transformative power should be accessible to every business and every employee at an affordable price. That’s why today we’ve decided to include the best of Google AI in Workspace Business and Enterprise plans, bringing the latest generative AI capabilities to our business customers without the need to purchase any add-ons,” said Jerry Dischler, president of cloud applications at Google, in a press release.

While this is fantastic news for many Workspace suite users, Google has increased the price of all Workspace suite plans by around $2 a month, bringing the subscription’s starting price from $12 to $14 a month.

Gemini-powered AI enhances day-to-day operations across the Workspace suite, offering tools like email summarisation, writing improvement in Docs, and access to the Gemini chatbot. Paid Workspace suite customers enjoy additional benefits, including Gemini Advanced, which leverages cutting-edge generative AI models, NotebookLM Plus, a robust research tool, and advanced image and video generation capabilities powered by Gemini.

As the race for agentic AI accelerates, both Microsoft and Google are expanding their AI-powered features and services. While these tools primarily target enterprise customers through subscription plans, many features remain accessible to general users for free, ensuring a wider reach and adoption.

As nutrition is the central concern of regenerative agriculture, India must prioritise nutritional security by enhancing domestic production of pulses and oilseeds—crops that require fewer inputs and naturally fix nitrogen in the soil. To address this, the government has launched the Rs 11,440 crore ‘Mission for Aatmanirbharta in Pulses’ (2025–26 to 2030–31) — it aims to scale up domestic pulse production to 350 lakh tonnes.
