What’s changing
We are expanding support for the Gemini app for Google Workspace for Education users of all ages:
The Gemini app is covered under the Google Workspace for Education Terms of Service for all Workspace for Education users. Those terms include enterprise-grade data protections, so your data is not reviewed by anyone or otherwise used to train AI models. Gemini also supports compliance with many industry regulations like FERPA, COPPA, FedRamp, and HIPAA.

Admins and end users
Why it’s important
AI can be a valuable tool for learning and creativity, which is why we are making Gemini available to all Google Workspace for Education users. Gemini incorporates LearnLM, our family of models fine-tuned for learning and built with experts in education, making it the world’s leading model for learning.
All of your Google Workspace for Education users will be able to use to the Gemini app (gemini.google.com and the mobile app) to do things like:
- Ask questions and receive in-the-moment support
- Create lesson plans and extra study materials
- Get feedback on their work and check their understanding
- Practice using technology that will prepare them for an AI-driven future
- Brainstorm new ideas
A distinct experience for younger learners (students under 18):
- Stricter content policies that prevent potentially inappropriate or harmful responses. For more information, check out The Keyword, Gemini safety center, and policy guidelines for the Gemini app.
- A youth onboarding experience with AI literacy resources – endorsed by ConnectSafely and Family Online Safety Institute, to help younger students use AI responsibly
- The first time a user asks a fact-based question a double-check response feature runs automatically powered by Google Search. In subsequent searches, a user can validate an answer by clicking Double-check response.
Additional details
The Google Workspace Service Specific Terms, which include terms relevant to the Gemini app, have been updated to reflect the change regarding age restrictions. Google will process your users’ data as described in the Generative AI Workspace privacy hub.
