What’s changing
Earlier this year, we introduced Google Vault support for the Gemini app on web and mobile for select Google Workspace editions. Beginning today, this functionality is available for Google Workspace Education Fundamentals customers as well.
Admins can use Vault for eDiscovery tasks to search Gemini app conversations and create an export of your search results. Specifically, the following actions can be taken around Gemini app data:
- Search prompts and responses with a number of filters, such as user and date, to quickly refine your search. These searches can be across groups of users or by Organizational Units (OUs) up to 5000 in size.
- Export conversations in an XML format for the above searches via the UI or API.
For more information, please refer to our original announcement. In addition, Google Workspace Admins can view aggregate reports of Gemini usage in their domain using Admin Console.
Additional details
- Workspace for Education Admins can also view aggregate usage reports of the Gemini app through Admin Console under Generative AI > Gemini Reports.
- This update is not applicable for Gemini for Google Workspace features (ex. Help me write in Gmail), as no prompts or responses are retained for those interactions. Visit our Privacy Hub for more information on how we’re protecting your Google Workspace data in the era of generative AI.
