Google Treats Gemini as Productivity Backbone, Not Experiment

Google is deploying Gemini across Gmail, Docs, Drive, and Search in a coordinated rollout, embedding AI assistance directly into workflows rather than holding it at arm's length. For enterprise customers, Gemini synthesizes email threads into overviews and drafts responses by pulling from chats and Drive files. The velocity is notable: where cloud infrastructure took years to reach critical mass in organizations, AI-powered productivity features are shipping across entire user bases in quarters. This signals Google's bet that AI assistance becomes as foundational to daily work as collaboration tools.
