Google Gemini (formerly Bard) is Google's AI assistant. Gemini is available in several tiers, with different names. Please note, this information is accurate as of August 6, 2024, but functionality and access are likely to continue to change in the upcoming weeks and months. 

 

Gemini Chat Experience

Gemini Chat is available free of charge through your Wesleyan Google account, and can be accessed at gemini.google.com or through your Google Apps. Data uploaded by users is NOT excluded from training Google's model. 

Users, therefore, can only upload data the university’s Data Security and Privacy Protection Policy classifies as "Public". Any information classified as "Classified" or “Restricted” cannot be entered. Examples of data that should not be used are information that the user has a contractual, legal, or regulatory obligation to protect, which includes, but is not limited to, information covered by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), Social Security Numbers (SSNs), and Protected Health Information (PHI). Researchers should be sure to review guidelines governing the privacy of their research data before entering it into Gemini.

Gemini for Workspace

This tier includes Gemini Education and Gemini Education Premium, and is integrated into Google Gmail, Sheets, Docs, Slides and Meet. It is currently not available with the Wesleyan Google license.
