3.0GPA

Best for automating Gmail, Drive and Sheets on Google Workspace

Already paying for Google Workspace? Then you most likely have Studio already. Tell Gemini what you want automated in Gmail, Chat, Drive or Sheets and it builds the flow for you. It's a fine first stop for Google-shaped chores. Step outside Google and it thins out, because third-party steps are still in beta.

Who Google Workspace Studio is for

  • Great if your company already pays for Google Workspace, since Studio comes with most editions
  • Handy when you want new emails summarised and the action items picked out for you
  • Good for people who'd rather describe an automation to Gemini than build one

Who Google Workspace Studio is not for

  • Skip it if most of your apps aren't Google's, as third-party steps are still in beta
  • Tight if you automate a lot, with 25 flows a user and 20 steps a flow
  • Not for you if you're on a personal Google account, which needs Google Workspace Experiments

Why Google Workspace Studio gets a 3.0

Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.

  • AValue for moneyIt isn't sold separately. It comes with eligible Google Workspace editions, which start at $7 a user a month on a one-year commitment, or $8.40 flexible. If your company already pays for one of them, the automation costs nothing more.
  • CFree plan and trialNo free plan. Google Workspace, the suite Studio comes with, can be tried for 14 days, and the listing doesn't say whether that needs a card. Personal Google accounts only get in through Google Workspace Experiments.
  • BFeaturesFlows start from an event, a schedule or by hand, with conditional steps, variables and Gemini steps that summarise emails or draft replies. Solid for Google's own apps. But third-party steps are in beta, and you're capped at 25 flows and 20 steps a flow.
  • BEase of useDescribe the job in plain words and Gemini builds the flow, or start from a template, then do a test run before switching it on. You can manage flows from inside Gmail, Chat and Drive. No rating on record, so a B.
  • BPlatforms and integrationsA web tool that acts in Gmail, Calendar, Chat, Drive and Sheets, with beta steps for Asana, Mailchimp and Salesforce and webhooks for the rest. Flows have to be built on a computer, though they run on any device once they're on.

What is Google Workspace Studio?

Google Workspace Studio is where Google Workspace users design, manage and share flows: automations made of a starter and one or more steps. A flow can be described in plain language for Gemini to build, started from a template or assembled by hand, and it can act in Gmail, Chat, Drive and Sheets as well as some third-party services. Studio is not sold separately; it comes with eligible Google Workspace editions. Google describes it as an evolution of the alpha product Google Workspace Flows.

Google Workspace Studio is a paid product with a free trial, starting at $7 per user / month with a 1-year commitment (Workspace Business Starter). See every plan

Good for

  • Organizations that already pay for Google Workspace
  • Automating routine work in Gmail, Chat, Drive and Sheets without code
  • People who want Gemini to draft an automation from a description

Worth knowing

  • Studio is not sold on its own: it comes with Workspace Business Starter, Standard and Plus, Enterprise Standard and Plus, and some Education editions.
  • A user can create at most 25 flows, a flow can have at most 20 steps, and flows stop once a daily run limit is reached until it resets.
  • Flows have to be created on a computer in a supported web browser; once turned on, they can run on any device.
  • Third-party integration steps are in beta, and personal Google accounts need Google Workspace Experiments to use Studio.

Key features

Flows created with Gemini
Describe what you want automated in plain language and Gemini builds a flow for it. Flows can also be started from a template or built from scratch.
Starters and steps
A starter launches the flow from an event, a schedule or a manual trigger. Steps then carry out actions or send notifications, with conditional steps and variables to pass data along.
AI steps
Steps that use Gemini can analyze new emails, write summaries, pick out action items or draft replies as part of a flow.
Managed from Workspace apps
Flows can be changed and their activity tracked from inside Gmail, Chat and Drive, as well as in Studio itself, and a test run tries a flow before it is turned on.
Third-party integrations
Integration steps, in beta, act in services such as Asana, Mailchimp and Salesforce and are connected through the Google Workspace Marketplace. Webhooks reach other services.
Sharing and approvals
Flows can be shared with other people. Depending on the policies an administrator sets, some steps wait for user approval before they run.
