It consists of Gmail , Google Contacts , Google Calendar , Google Meet and Google Chat for communication; Google Maps as web mapping platform; Google Currents for employee engagement; Google Drive for storage; and the Google Docs , Google Sheets , Google Slides , Google Forms and Google Sites for content creation and collaboration. An Admin Panel is provided for managing users and services. Depending on edition Google Workspace may also include the digital interactive whiteboard Jamboard and an option to purchase add-ons such as the telephony service Google Voice . The education edition adds a learning platform Google Classroom and today has the name Workspace for Education.

Google has also integrated advanced AI features, including Gemini and NotebookLM Plus, into its Workspace Business and Enterprise plans. These tools enhance productivity across Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Meet, and other platforms by streamlining communication, aiding document creation, and improving meetings. Gemini Advanced offers deeper support for complex tasks and project planning via an app, while NotebookLM Plus provides AI-driven insights to help employees understand complex topics faster.

While most of these services are individually available at no cost to consumers who use their free Google (Gmail) accounts, Google Workspace adds enterprise features such as custom email addresses at a domain (e.g. @yourcompany.com), an option for unlimited Drive storage, additional administrative tools and advanced settings, as well as 24/7 phone and email support.
