My company uses google workspace and every google doc, spreadsheet, calendar, online meeting and search puts nonstop callouts and messages about using Gemini. It's gotten so bad that I'm about to try building a browser extension to block that bullshit. It clutters the UI and nags. If I wanted that crap, I'd turn it on.
I see - I feel the same way about Copilot (as my company uses the Microsoft ecosystem).
Sounds like you don't like a product choice that your company made. Have you considered talking to your company?
Oh yes, I'm sure they'd change their entire setup and way of doing business based on my complaint.
I also find those "please please please try me!" popups annoying, but at least Google Workspace is one product where deep AI integration actually makes sense. I like the ability to quickly get summaries or edit documents by telling it what needs to be done in generic terms.
Yes it smells like google+, but at least gemini is actually a good product
