Additional information about Gemini for Google Workspace

Do users need a license to chat with Gemini (gemini.google.com)?

How your users access Gemini depends on whether you have the Gemini for Google Workspace add-on:

  • With the Gemini for Google Workspace add-on: When you buy the Gemini for Google Workspace add-on, Gemini is turned on by default as a core service. To let users access Gemini as a core service with their Google Workspace account, assign them a Gemini for Google Workspace license.

    Tip: When you purchase the Gemini for Google Workspace add-on, Gemini as a core service is available to licensed users.

  • Without the Gemini for Google Workspace add-on: If you don’t have the Gemini for Google Workspace add-on, you can turn on Gemini as an additional Google service in your Google Admin console. Your users don’t need a license to access Gemini as an additional service. Note: you must verify your domain before you can use Gemini as an additional service. For detailed steps, go to Turn Gemini on or off as an additional service.

Additional details about the availability of Gemini for Google Workspace features

Each time you submit a generative AI request, it starts a process that uses a tremendous amount of data center resources. Google has planned for this increase in computational usage, and will attempt to make Gemini for Google Workspace responsive to everyone who has subscribed to this add-on. 

However, we expect customer usage to dramatically increase because of the transformative nature of these features. Consequently there may be times when your use and experimentation may cause Gemini for Google Workspace to be slower or delays in wait time. 

Contact your account representative or Google Support if you experience slower than usual Gemini for Google Workspace response times.

Additional details about the usage of Gemini for Google Workspace

You and your users may not use Gemini for Google Workspace in a way that degrades the services for other Google Workspace customers, such as submitting an excessive number of requests.

To protect the service and ensure Gemini for Google Workspace is available to other customers, Google may reduce your access to AI features if we reasonably determine that you've exceeded usage limitations.

Is client-side encryption compatible with Gemini for Google Workspace?
