Google Workspace extends Gemini benefits to millions of customers

Every day, businesses of all sizes are getting more done, with greater confidence and in less time with Gemini for Google Workspace. Using built-in AI across our popular apps, including Gmail, Docs, and Drive, users save an average of 105 minutes per week, according to our recent study of enterprise customers.* And it’s not just about getting more done, but getting it done really well — 75% of daily Gemini for Workspace users say it improves the quality of their work.

Driven by our belief that generative AI can be transformative for every employee, today, we’re announcing that the standalone Gemini app (gemini.google.com) is now included as part of Workspace Business, Enterprise, and Frontline plans. With enterprise-grade data protections built in, employees everywhere can now save time and deliver higher quality work — securely and compliantly — with an AI-powered assistant at work.** 

Now, millions of Workspace customers can access the benefits of AI, while knowing that their organization’s privacy, security, and compliance policies will be upheld. Through the admin console, customers will have choice and control over how the Gemini app handles user prompt and generated response retention, while having our assurance that Gemini does not use your organization’s data, user prompts, or generated responses to train or improve Gemini models. As we’ve said since the beginning of our generative AI journey, your data is your data.

Businesses looking for the most comprehensive AI experience from Google, can unlock additional AI features and use Gemini directly in Gmail, Docs, Drive and more with the Gemini for Workspace add-on. (For tips on how to get started, see our Beyond the prompt blog series.)

Introducing security advisor, new security insights, and data protection capabilities

We also know that security concerns extend beyond just the use of AI. Staying ahead of security threats that continue to grow in sophistication and scale is a never-ending challenge, particularly for small and midsize businesses. That's why we’re introducing our new security advisor, a powerful toolkit to help thwart the latest cyberthreats. 

Think of it as your personal security expert that can offer business-tailored insights, actionable  guidance, and additional threat prevention and data protection controls. Security advisor delivers insights directly to an IT administrator’s inbox, with tailored recommendations to enhance the organization’s security posture. This includes a guided experience for implementing recommended threat defenses, account security measures, and data protection capabilities. It’s security made simple.

Over the next few weeks, we’re starting to roll out security advisor to all Workspace Business edition customers.

New industry certifications for Gemini for Workspace

In the era of generative AI, our commitments to data privacy, confidentiality, and security remain core to our product design. Earlier this year, we enhanced Gemini for Workspace to support HIPAA workloads at the request of our healthcare and life sciences customers. Today, we’re announcing that Gemini for Workspace is one of the first generative AI solutions to be certified according to industry security and privacy standards such as SOC 1/2/3, ISO 27001, and ISO 27701. With Gemini, you’re getting an enterprise-grade AI-powered assistant that can help you meet your compliance requirements today — something unavailable with similar solutions in the market.
