As a Google Workspace administrator, you can let your users try Gemini Alpha features before they're made generally available to Workspace users.
Important notes about the Alpha program
- Gemini Alpha is turned off by default. Only an admin can turn it on.
- You can turn on Gemini Alpha features for all of your Google Workspace with Gemini users or for a subset of Gemini users within specific organizational units or groups.
- Alpha features get the same robust data protection standards that come with all Google Workspace services.
- Alpha features may not be available in all editions of Google Workspace. Check the feature availability table to see what's currently available to your organization.
Periodically, Google adds or removes Gemini Alpha features, and this page is updated for the current, supported Alpha features.
What terms apply to Alpha features?
By enabling Gemini Alpha features, you agree that the Pre-General Availability Offering Terms (excluding Section 6.1(b)), and Generative AI Services sections of the Google Workspace Service Specific Terms apply to your organization's use of the Alpha features. For clarity, Google's data protection and processing obligations with respect to Customer Data set forth in the Cloud Data Processing Addendum will apply to the Alpha features.
