Select Gemini in Workspace capabilities now available to Education Plus and Teaching & Learning customersStarting today, we’re bringing generative AI capabilities in Google Workspace for Education to more educators and students around the world. The following features are now available to users 18 and older with a Google Workspace for Education Plus or Teaching and Learning add-on license at no additional cost:
- Gemini in Docs: Create content in seconds with Help Me Write and Gemini in the side panel of Docs.
- Gemini in Slides: Enhance presentations with the ability to create original images and slides in the side panel of Slides.
- Gemini in Forms: Quickly create forms and see AI summaries of responses.
- Gemini in Vids: Create polished videos with a simple text prompt or from existing slides.
These features are already available to many Google Workspace customers and users with business, enterprise, and Google One plans, as well as the Google AI Pro for Education add-on. Visit the Help Center for more information on which features are available in which plans.
In the coming months, we’ll also make some Gemini in Sheets features available to the Education Plus plan and Teaching & Learning add-on. Additionally, we’ll provide more granular controls that administrators can use to manage access to Gemini for individual Workspace apps. For example, administrators will be able to enable or disable access to Gemini in Docs and Gemini in Slides separately. We’ll share another announcement when these granular controls become available.
