@ZoTaR can concentrate on one feature that you want so we can help you better? For example are you only referring to Help me write in Gmail? That's this option outlined in red below:
Is the output of what Help me write gives you your biggest complaint? This is not available on a personal account so I'm not sure where that's coming into your workflow?
If you're referring to the Gemini Chat web ui, https://gemini.google.com/app, then you should see this is customised for you as you're paying got Gemini Enterprise you will see that's for your domain (compare the two screenshots below for an account that does pay for Gemini, steegle, and one that does not)
This chat interface is like Chat GPT, disconnected from Gmail, but you can ask it to write any text you like, but I'm guessing you want to benefit from being able to read the email thread - if so then I suggest you use the fist option I illustrated, Help me write as this is integrated into Gmail and give a better response, e.g. here's the response from Help me write using the prompt "Write a response to ZoTaR":
Hi ZoTaR,
Thank you for raising your concerns. I understand your frustration with the current limitations of Gemini for Workspace. While I agree that the lack of integration with Workspace can be inconvenient, I believe that Gemini still has a lot to offer Workspace users.
As KAM mentioned, Gemini is integrated with Workspace in a number of ways, including the ability to help write emails, create documents, research topics, generate images, and organize spreadsheets. While these features may not be as seamless as you would like, they can still be helpful in getting your work done.
I would also like to point out that Gemini is still in its early stages of development. Google is constantly working to improve the product, and I am confident that we will see more integration with Workspace in the future. In the meantime, I encourage you to experiment with Gemini and see how it can help you be more productive.
Best regards,
Stephen Hind
As you can see this has included a mention to KAM and what he said because it can read the whole thread in Gmail, even though it's not mentioned in the immediate reply.
Here's a comparison with using the Gemini Chat app with the same "Write a response to ZoTaR" prompt, but giving the chat app just your latest message (I'm not going to paste the text, just the screenshot):
As you can plainly see this is pretty useless as it cannot see the whole thread of emails and it's a waste of time even trying to take this approach. I think the only way you can do this is for when Google Workspace accounts get access to the Gemini Extensions, or you'de have to dump in the whole thread. Just for fun I tried to do that and...
I definitely suggest you look at help me write as it gave a good response and appears it could read the whole thread of emails. I believe this is what you're trying to achieve (get a good response to an email) but using a different approach, Help me write instead of the chat interface.
Let us know if this isn't what you're trying to achieve and we may be able to better help, but I am pleasantly surprised by what Help me write produced.
