Confusion over Gemini charges in Google Docs despite paid Workspace
A user received an email a couple of months ago saying Gemini would be free to use inside until July. This was odd because the user already pays for (Standard plan), which is supposed to include Gemini access.
When the user actually tried using Gemini in , it could not add or modify anything in the document at all. This raised the question of why Gemini was even offered this way, and whether Google intends to charge extra for a feature that should already be included in the .
Key points
- Standard is supposed to already include Gemini
- The user separately got an email offering free Gemini in Docs until July
- In practice, Gemini could not add or edit content in the document
- This raises questions about extra charges for an already-included feature
