Google is expanding its Gemini AI assistant beyond regular Chrome users to include Google Workspace accounts for businesses and schools.

What's New?

Gemini AI, which was previously only available for personal Google accounts in Chrome, is now rolling out to paid Workspace customers. This means employees at companies and students at schools can now use the AI assistant directly in their Chrome browser.

Key Features:

• Browser Help: Gemini can now help users with tasks while browsing, like summarizing web pages or answering questions about content

• Easy Access: Users can click a button in Chrome to chat with Gemini without leaving their current page

• Smart Suggestions: The AI can provide quick help with writing, research, and other tasks

Privacy for Organizations:

Google has made special privacy settings for business and education accounts. Organizations can control how Gemini works for their users and ensure company data stays secure. Workspace admins can manage these settings from their admin console.

Who Can Use It?

The feature is available for:

• Google Workspace Business accounts

• Google Workspace Enterprise accounts

• Education accounts (for schools and universities)

Future Plans:

Google has promised to add more AI agent features in the coming months. These agents will be able to do more complex tasks automatically, making work easier for users.

Rollout Timeline:

The feature started rolling out this week and will reach all eligible accounts over the next few weeks. Users will see a Gemini icon in their Chrome browser when it's available for their account.

This expansion shows Google's commitment to bringing AI tools to professional and educational settings, making everyday tasks easier for millions of users worldwide.
