Google Rolls Out Gemini Enterprise Workspaces With Per-Department Memory
What Happened
Google announced Gemini Enterprise Workspaces, a tier above standard Workspace AI that gives admins per-department memory pools with role-based access controls. Features include cross-document recall scoped to teams, audit logs for memory writes, and integration with Vault retention policies. Pricing starts at $45/user/month with a 200-seat minimum.
My Take
Microsoft has been leading on enterprise AI memory with Copilot, and Google's answer here is sharper on governance — the audit log on memory writes is a feature legal departments will love. The 200-seat minimum tells you Google is targeting Microsoft's mid-market base, not chasing SMBs. The strategic question for buyers: do you want one model with everything (Microsoft) or department-scoped guardrails (Google)? Most regulated industries will lean Google within 18 months for compliance reasons alone.
