Review by a Growth Engineer

My verdict: the perfect native option for Google Workspace teams.

If you do your meetings on Google Meet, Gemini for Workspace completely eliminates meeting note friction. One click, and you have a clean summary in your Drive. The 'Take notes for me' feature is incredible if you're in the Workspace ecosystem.

Gemini transcribes and summarizes the meeting directly into a Google Doc that's saved in your Drive and sent to the calendar. It's ultra-smooth, no need to invite an external bot. If you work on Google Workspace, it's the must-have for clean meeting notes without effort.

What I like less: features are basic compared to dedicated tools like Fireflies or Otter. No CRM integration, no automatic action items pushed to a task management tool, no advanced semantic search in transcripts.

My advice: if your team is 100% Google Workspace and you just want automatic meeting summaries without hassle, go for it. If you have more advanced needs (integrations, coaching, analytics), look at Fireflies or Gong.

Why add it to your stack?

If you're in the Google Workspace ecosystem, it's the smoothest solution for getting meeting notes without any friction. One click on 'Take notes for me', and the summary arrives in Drive after each meeting. Calendar integration means all participants automatically receive the notes.

The detailed verdict

Do I really need this?

For Google teams, it's become essential. No more taking manual notes or inviting third-party bots that create awkwardness in calls. It's transparent and native.

Does it play nice with my stack?

Perfect native integration with Google Meet, Calendar, Drive. That's the advantage of being in the ecosystem: everything communicates without configuration. Notes are linked to Calendar events, files are automatically organized.

Is it easy to pick up?

Nothing to configure, nothing to learn. One click and it's activated. It's the definition of simplicity. If your team knows how to use Google Meet, they know how to use this feature.

Is the UX any good?

UX is perfect: a 'Take notes for me' button in Meet, and that's it. Notes arrive in Drive and Calendar. Zero friction, zero configuration. It's exactly what a productivity tool should be.

Is it worth it?

If you already have Workspace Business Standard or above, it's included. The Gemini add-on adds ~$20/user/month. Good value if you're full Google, it saves paying for Fireflies or Otter on top.

What I like

  • Ideal for 100% Google Workspace teams who want automatic meeting notes without friction
  • Perfect for not inviting external bots into meetings
  • Notes arrive directly in Drive and Calendar

What I like less

  • Useless if you don't use Google Meet as your main tool
  • Limited for those who want advanced features like CRM integrations
  • Cannot transcribe meetings outside Google Meet
