Google has made a significant stride in enhancing its Workspace offerings by introducing the standalone Gemini app for its users. This development was unveiled during the recent virtual Gemini at Work summit, marking a pivotal moment for businesses utilizing Google’s suite of productivity tools.
New Features and Data Privacy
The Gemini app is now accessible to customers on Business, Enterprise, and Frontline plans, expanding the capabilities available to Workspace users. Google has emphasized that organizations will have control over how the app manages the retention of prompts and responses through the admin console. This feature is particularly noteworthy as it allows companies to tailor their data management practices according to their specific needs.
In a reassuring move for businesses concerned about data privacy, Google has stated that it will not utilize any organization’s data, prompts, or generated responses to train the Gemini application. This commitment to data security is likely to be welcomed by enterprises looking to leverage AI without compromising their sensitive information.
Additionally, the summit revealed that Gemini will also be integrated into Snapchat’s My AI chatbot, showcasing its multi-modal capabilities. Users will soon be able to engage with the chatbot by taking photos or videos and asking questions about the content, further enhancing the interactive experience.
