Gemini 3.5 has quietly become the value pick. The Flash tier is fast and cheap; the larger models handle big documents and mixed media — text, images, spreadsheets — without breaking stride. For anyone routinely feeding in long contracts or reports, the large context window alone earns its place.
The natural home is a Google Workspace business. If your email, docs and storage already live there, Gemini sits one click away and the integration is genuinely useful rather than bolted on.

Confirm whether your Workspace business terms or consumer terms apply before sending company information — they’re not the same, and only one is appropriate for client data.
