What Is Gemini for Google Workspace?

Gemini brings advanced generative AI models to popular apps like Docs, Gmail, and Slides. Key features include:

• Gemini Education: An affordable option that helps educational institutions begin using generative AI in Workspace. It includes a monthly usage limit for administrators to track usage patterns within their domain.
• Gemini Education Premium: This add-on encompasses all the features of Gemini Education, plus advanced tools like AI-powered note-taking and summaries in Meet, as well as enhanced data loss prevention.

How Educators Are Using Gemini

Educators have quickly adopted Gemini to improve their daily workflows. Examples include:

• Document Creation: Gemini in Docs efficiently creates content ranging from lesson plan templates to grant proposals.
• Email Summaries: In Gmail, Gemini summarizes lengthy email threads, highlighting key points and next steps.
• Agenda Building: Educators use Sheets to plan professional development sessions, making the process more efficient.

Data Protection and Future Enhancements

Data protection is prioritized, with additional safeguards soon to be introduced for Gemini users aged 18 and older who log into their Workspace for Education accounts, at no extra cost.
