UW-Madison Google Workspace - Gemini Chat

Google Gemini Chat is a large language model that is designed to engage in informative and comprehensive conversations and answer a wide range of questions and prompts. With access to a massive and varied dataset, Gemini can provide detailed explanations, generate creative text, and even assist with tasks like writing emails or code. Gemini’s ability to understand and respond to natural language makes it a versatile tool.

Note: When using Google Gemini in a higher education setting through Google Workspace for Education, your data is not used to train AI models. This applies to UW-Madison Google Workspace accounts. Google specifically states that data from education users is protected and not used to improve the underlying AI models beyond the specific user session. Learn more.
