An assistant in Gmail and Docs, an employee for workflows. The facts side by side.
Google Gemini is first and foremost an AI assistant in Google Workspace: it helps in Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Meet and the Gemini app whenever a person asks. With Gemini Enterprise, Google also offers an agent platform with connectors, an agent builder and prebuilt agents. These remain tools that each person or your own IT team sets up, starts and checks.
An AI employee from bee-hub.ai is not another tool for individuals. It takes over a defined workflow in your business, works in the background in your ERP and inbox and presents results for approval. bee-hub.ai is responsible for setup, operation and maintenance.
