What Gemini features you get with Google AI Plus, Pro, & Ultra [February 2026]

At I/O 2025, Google One AI Premium (and Gemini Advanced) became “Google AI Pro,” while a higher, more expensive tier was introduced with “Google AI Ultra.”

Updated 2/21/26

Free Google Search AI Mode

Free users in the US now have access to “Thinking (3 Pro)” for “Complex reasoning and generative layouts.” There are daily usage limits, with Gemini 3 Flash now powering the “Auto” model. Similarly, those in the US have access to Create Images Pro (Nano Banana Pro).

AI Pro is simply a rebrand that drops the explicit “Google One” connection, while being a bit snappier and shorter than “AI Premium.” In the US, it remains available for $19.99 per month.

Gmail

AI Overviews deliver a big upgrade to Gmail search that generates an immediate answer to save you from having to open individual emails.

Gemini in Google Workspace 

The Gemini side panel and other inline features are available in: Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Meet, and Chat. 

You also get access to Google Vids. This AI-powered video creation app lets you create, write, produce, edit, collaborate, and share videos. It’s catered towards more presentation-style videos in school or business contexts, but there are personal use cases.

AI Pro subscribers get “Higher” usage limits for Gemini 3 Pro, and Deep Search on google.com/ai to “ask more sophisticated queries and get back longer, more detailed responses.” Like Gemini’s Deep Research, responses take a few minutes. Google is performing “hundreds of searches” and reasons “across disparate pieces of information” to generate a “comprehensive, fully-cited report.” Google can ask you for more details before starting the process.

You also get a “Higher” level of Nano Banana Pro image generation and editing, while there’s AI-powered calling for local business pricing.

New is early access to Personal Intelligence in AI Mode.
