Google Workspace includes multiple collaboration apps, such as Gmail, Calendar, Chat, Meet and Drive, to enable users to create an organized space and work more productively.

Google Classroom, for example, uses Workspace's core services, which enhance the communication and collaboration between teacher and student. Marketplace apps support Google Workspace to solve workflows in ways the core services are not yet capable of addressing.
Additionally, employees can use Google Assistant as a resource to guide them throughout their workday. For example, users can ask Google Assistant-compatible devices questions, such as when they have a meeting, to start or create a meeting or if they have an upcoming deadline. All these functions improve UX and, ultimately, support a more productive and organized work environment.
