Google Gemini

Conversational AI to help you write, plan, learn, and create

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

As a generative AI service, Gemini App requires the highest level of caution. Therefore, its use is restricted to protect university and personal information.

Do not input High Risk Data into Gemini prompts. Your prompts and conversations should contain only publicly available or non-sensitive information. This is a critical security requirement. Prohibited data includes, but is not limited to: 

  • Any confidential or proprietary university information Protected Health Information (PHI)
  • Personally Identifiable Information (PII)
  • Code or software intended for a patent application
  • Any information you are not authorized to share publicly. 

Treat all conversations with Gemini as public. Do not assume privacy for any information you provide. 

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 NotebookLM Plus.  Our team is working with Google to find solutions in the future.

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.
