What is Google Workspace?

Wondering, "What is Google Workspace?" You're not alone. This new Google service package is a great tool for businesses and education, with unique free tools.

Have you seen new features coming to Google’s free apps for Google Workspace users? Or maybe you’ve seen the term “Google Workspace” while browsing the web. What is Google Workspace? Who can use it? What’s included? We’re here to reveal all.

Here’s everything you need to know about Google Workspace.

Once known as G Suite, and before that, Gmail for Your Domain, the service is now called Google Workspace. This is a Google-owned service that provides productivity applications, collaboration tools, and cloud storage in one package for your large or small business.

Google Workspace includes applications to help you and your team work together easily. There are currently 14 applications: Gmail, Calendar, Meet, Drive, Chat, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Sites, Forms, Keep, Jamboard, Apps Script, and Cloud Search.

You can also use the security and management tools Admin, Endpoint, Vault, and Work Insights.

As you’ll see below, the Workspace plans include additional features that you won’t find with Google’s free apps. You can also set up custom, secure email with your company’s domain with 99.9% guaranteed uptime.

Additionally, you have access to business-level application features, 24/7 support via phone or email, extra storage, Microsoft Outlook integration, two-step authentication, and single sign-on (SSO).

You can choose from one of four Google Workspace plans depending on your company’s size, needs, and budget. Each plan comes with a 14-day free trial to see if it fits your team.

Here’s a summary of the costs and features for each plan:

The Business plans are suitable for companies with 300 or fewer employees, while the Enterprise plan is intended for larger businesses.

If you’re ready to start your free 14-day trial for a Business plan, visit the Google Workspace website and select Get started. Alternatively, you can choose Get started below the Business plan you pick above. You’ll then provide details about you and your business to begin.

For an Enterprise plan, choose Contact sales on the Google Workspace website or below the Enterprise plan for pricing, storage, and more.

Along with businesses, Google offers its Workspace suite to educators. You can enjoy collaboration and learning tools along with privacy features and controls. Separate from Google Workspace, take a look at Google Workspace for Education plans, pricing, and features.

Did you think hitting delete on your AI chatbot conversation actually makes it disappear? Georgia Tech researchers just proved that's not entirely true. They have built a forensic tool called ORISA that can dig deleted conversations from your phone and even rebuild them into a working chatbot session you can keep talking to.

How can ORISA bring deleted AI conversations back?

Touchscreen laptops have been around for years. You can get them in all sizes and shapes. Just not from Apple. For years, the Cupertino giant has treated the idea of a touchscreen MacBook the way I treat a meeting that could have been an email: with open contempt. However, Wednesday looks like the day the company could finally change its mind. 

The latest Apple invite puts the “Pro and Tell” showcase in Los Angeles at 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET) on October 28, 2026. Instead of a regular live-streamed keynote, it is an invitation-only, hands-on event for a handful of press and creators (similar to what the company did for the MacBook Neo earlier this year). 

Two residents of Chicago have filed a lawsuit in the US over claims that robots run by Coco Robotics and Serve Robotics captured their facial and hand measurements without consent, bringing renewed attention to the food delivery robots. The cases raise a troubling question: If a robot delivers food to your door, can it also be gathering sensitive information about you?

According to a report by The Associated Press, the proposed class-action lawsuits were filed in Cook County on Oct. 9 and allege violations of Illinois’ Biometric Information Privacy Act. The complaints claim that the robots’ cameras and LiDAR sensors captured information on customers’ faces and hands as they approached the machines to pick up their orders. Both have denied the allegations.
