What’s changing
Gemini Audit logs are now accessible through the Reporting API (Admin SDK). This allows admins to track user activity and interactions with Gemini across Workspace app, including:
- The action performed by the user within a Workspace application, initiated or assisted by Gemini. For example: formalizing copy, generating a background, or summarizing a conversation.
- The specific app where Gemini inWorkspace apps was used, for example Chat, Gmail, or Docs.
- The specific features which were used, for example “help me write”, “remove image background” or “help me organize”.
- And more – see our API documentation for more information on the types of Gemini in Workspace activity you can query.
As part of this update, this information will be available in the security investigation tool and audit investigation tool as well.
Who’s impacted
Admins
Why you’d use it
Admins can use the Reports API to analyze how their users are engaging with Gemini at scale. These valuable insights can help organizations get the most out of Gemini. Specifically:
- Monitoring adoption and usage: Admins can track the overall use of Gemini features across the organization and within specific Workspace applications (Gmail, Docs, Slides, Sheets, Gemini app). This includes identifying the number of active Gemini users, their usage patterns per app, and the “Last Used” time stamp for each user.
- Understanding feature utilization: The reports detail how frequently specific Gemini features like content summarization and generation are used within different applications.
- Identifying training needs: By observing feature and app usage, admins can pinpoint areas where users might require additional training or resources to maximize their use of Gemini's capabilities.
- Identifying power users: The reports can help identify individuals who are heavily utilizing Gemini features, potentially recognizing internal champions who can share their expertise and best practices with other users.
