At Google for Education, we believe AI has the potential to help students, educators and education communities save time, create captivating learning experiences, inspire creativity and learn with confidence.

Today, designed together with education experts and institutions, we’re bringing Gemini for Google Workspace to education users 18 years and older with two new paid add-ons, introducing a new and powerful way of working, teaching and learning with generative AI. We’re also adding new functionality to our flagship Gemini conversational experience to help everyone learn confidently. And soon, we’ll introduce additional data protection for Gemini users 18 years and older logged into their Workspace for Education school accounts, free of charge.

Bringing Gemini for Google Workspace to more education institutions

Gemini for Google Workspace provides access to our most capable generative AI models widely available today across your favorite apps, like Docs, Gmail, Slides and more. Starting May 23rd, education institutions can add Gemini for Google Workspace to their existing Workspace for Education edition for users 18 years and older by purchasing one of the following add-ons:

• Gemini Education is a lower price offering to help education institutions get started with generative AI in Workspace, with a monthly usage limit. Through the Admin console, Admins can learn more about how people in their domain are trending towards their usage limits.
• Gemini Education Premium includes everything in Gemini Education, plus additional advanced features like AI-powered note taking and summaries in Meet, AI-enhanced data loss prevention and more coming soon. This add-on provides full access and usage of generative AI tools in Workspace.

In early testing, we heard from educators that they loved having Gemini integrated into the Workspace tools they use every day. For example, they used Gemini to:

• Go from a blank page to a lesson plan template, grant proposal or job description in Docs
• Summarize a long email thread with key takeaways and next steps in Gmail
• Create an agenda for an upcoming professional development session in Sheets
• Bring a presentation to life or illustrate a topic in class by creating an original image in Slides

We’re also piloting Gemini in Classroom with new lesson planning features that are informed by LearnLM, our new family of models fine-tuned for learning, based on Gemini and grounded in educational research.

Gemini for Google Workspace also provides access to chat with Gemini safely and securely at gemini.google.com with enterprise-grade data protection and Google’s most capable generative AI models widely available today. Gemini can help you speed up time-consuming tasks, from conducting research about IT security best practices to creating an alumni outreach plan. It can be your collaborative thought partner helping you get fresh ideas and make learning more personal for your students, like re-leveling content or creating class exercises or assignments based on their interests.
