Google Gemini
This service provides access to the Gemini web app. This doesn't include the paid Google AI Pro for Education add-on (also known as "Gemini for Workspace"), which integrates AI directly into apps like Gmail, Docs, or Sheets. That service is not currently licensed by Stanford.
The Gemini app is a web-based, conversational AI assistant available to you through Stanford's Google Workspace suite. Designed to be multimodal, it can understand and reason across different types (or modes) of data simultaneously. These modes include text, images, audio, and more.
To understand more about what Gemini is and how it works, read An overview of the Gemini app, available on Google's site.

Data security
Google Gemini is approved for low, moderate, and high-risk and protected health information (PHI) data. This covers the vast majority of everyday academic, research, and administrative work. Your conversations are not used to train Google's models, and the same data-handling commitments that apply to your Stanford Google Workspace apply here.
Rates
Free of charge
Please note:
- Currently paid versions and features cannot be purchased for use with a Stanford account due to Google's licensing policies. This includes Google AI Pro for Education, an add-on that integrates AI integration directly into Gmail, Docs, Sheets, and Slides, and advanced capabilities in Gemini and Gemini Notebook Plus. Our team is working with Google to find solutions in the future.
While Stanford University provides access to the standalone Gemini App, the integrated Gemini for Workspace features (AI features embedded directly within Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Gmail) are currently disabled for all Stanford Google Workspace accounts due to data privacy and compliance concerns. To learn more, refer to Gemini in Workspace apps: Feature access (Docs, Drive, GMail, Cal, Chat, Studio).
Get started
Visit gemini.google.com (be sure your Stanford Google account is selected).
Please note: The Gemini web app offers the same functionality found in Gemini in the Stanford AI Playground. However, your conversations in the different platforms will remain separate.
