As part of this change, starting today, the <a href="https://workspaceupdates.googleblog.com/2023/08/duet-ai-for-google-workspace-enterprise-add-on.html">Duet AI for Google Workspace Enterprise add-on</a> is now called <b>Gemini Enterprise</b>. Gemini Enterprise includes full usage and access to generative AI features in Workspace, such as help me write, organize, and visualize, and more. Gemini Enterprise will continue to be the best way to get our most advanced AI features, like live translated captions in Meet. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>We’re also introducing <b>Gemini Business</b>, which is available to new and existing Google Workspace customers (see the availability section below for more details). Gemini Business is a Workspace add-on subscription which provides a subset of the generative AI features available in Gemini Enterprise, subject to monthly usage limits. With tools to enhance productivity, boost creativity, and save you time, Gemini Business is a good option for businesses looking to get started with generative AI. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b>In addition, customers of Gemini Enterprise and Gemini Business can now chat directly with Gemini through a new standalone experience (<a href="http://gemini.google.com">gemini.google.com</a>).</b>This experience, which starts rolling out today, is built on our 1.0 Ultra model*, and provides enterprise-grade data protections and admin controls. Gemini can be a starting point for work and a better way to research, brainstorm, and analyze information—all with the capability to double check responses with confidence. With a Gemini Business and Gemini Enterprise plan, your conversations are not used for advertising purposes, reviewed by human reviewers, nor used to improve generative machine-learning technologies. For more information, see the latest on the <a href="https://workspace.google.com/blog/product-announcements/gemini-for-google-workspace">Workspace blog</a> and our previous post on how we’re <a href="https://workspace.google.com/blog/identity-and-security/protecting-your-data-era-generative-ai">protecting your Google Workspace data in the era of generative AI</a>.

As part of this change, starting today, the <a href="https://workspaceupdates.googleblog.com/2023/08/duet-ai-for-google-workspace-enterprise-add-on.html">Duet AI for Google Workspace Enterprise add-on</a> is now called <b>Gemini Enterprise</b>. Gemini Enterprise includes full usage and access to generative AI features in Workspace, such as help me write, organize, and visualize, and more. Gemini Enterprise will continue to be the best way to get our most advanced AI features, like live translated captions in Meet. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>We’re also introducing <b>Gemini Business</b>, which is available to new and existing Google Workspace customers (see the availability section below for more details). Gemini Business is a Workspace add-on subscription which provides a subset of the generative AI features available in Gemini Enterprise, subject to monthly usage limits. With tools to enhance productivity, boost creativity, and save you time, Gemini Business is a good option for businesses looking to get started with generative AI. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b>In addition, customers of Gemini Enterprise and Gemini Business can now chat directly with Gemini through a new standalone experience (<a href="http://gemini.google.com">gemini.google.com</a>).</b>This experience, which starts rolling out today, is built on our 1.0 Ultra model*, and provides enterprise-grade data protections and admin controls. Gemini can be a starting point for work and a better way to research, brainstorm, and analyze information—all with the capability to double check responses with confidence. With a Gemini Business and Gemini Enterprise plan, your conversations are not used for advertising purposes, reviewed by human reviewers, nor used to improve generative machine-learning technologies. For more information, see the latest on the <a href="https://workspace.google.com/blog/product-announcements/gemini-for-google-workspace">Workspace blog</a> and our previous post on how we’re <a href="https://workspace.google.com/blog/identity-and-security/protecting-your-data-era-generative-ai">protecting your Google Workspace data in the era of generative AI</a>. Roll out of Gemini starts today for Gemini Enterprise and Gemini Business customers and will continue over the next several days. </div><div><br /></div><div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><br /></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;">Who’s impacted</h3><div>Admins</div><div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><br /></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;">Why it’s important</h3><div>With these new offerings, businesses will have greater access to our robust suite of AI-powered features, which can be used to:</div></div><div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Research, brainstorm and analyze information in Gemini (<a href="http://gemini.google.com">gemini.google.com</a>), with access to Google’s 1.0 Ultra and enterprise-grade data protections</li><li>Double-check responses to validate information in Gemini (<a href="http://gemini.google.com">gemini.google.com</a>)</li><li>Chat with Gemini (<a href="http://gemini.google.com">gemini.google.com</a>) to get the words and visuals just right and easily bring the output from Gemini to your new or existing document, presentation, or email</li><li>Help you write and refine emails in Gmail—even on the go from your mobile device</li><li>Help you write, refine, and proofread content in Google Docs</li><li>Generate original images for your presentations directly in Google Slides</li><li>Create plans for projects in Google Sheets with just a simple prompt</li><li>Look your best in Google Meet with studio look </li><li>Generate background images in Google Meet</li><li>Use translated captions in Google Meet</li></ul></div></div><div><div>Gemini Business is a great option for organizations looking to get started with generative AI.
