What Are the Features of Gemini?

Here are the features of Gemini AI Assistant in Google Workspace.

A conversation with Gemini can help you discover, create, analyze, infer, correct, and integrate perspectives. The result can then work directly with Google Workspace office production tools, and make you work more effortlessly.

Furthermore, Gemini utilizes robust data protection measures designed for enterprises. The content submitted or provided during the conversation won’t be used for AI training or review by the other party. It ensures strict data security protection.

Overall, Gemini is an intelligent assistant that can enhance your productivity within Google Workspace while maintaining robust safeguards for your proprietary information.
