How Gemini works

Gemini is Google's AI assistant. You meet it in two places. The Gemini app at gemini.google.com is a chat where you can ask anything. Gemini in Workspace is the same assistant built into Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Meet and the rest, where it can work with the thing you have open.

In the Gemini app

• Chat. Ask questions, draft text, brainstorm, summarize.
• Gems. Saved custom assistants with your own instructions, such as a proposal writer.
• Deep Research. Gemini researches a topic and writes a report with its sources.
• Canvas. A side-by-side space for writing and editing a document together.
• Gemini Live. A spoken, back-and-forth conversation.

Your data

• With a Workspace account, your prompts and files are not used to train the models.
• Your content is not reviewed by people.
• Gemini only shows you what you already have permission to open. It cannot reveal a file you could not open yourself.
