Expanding Google Workspace extensions available in open beta for the Gemini app

Qué está cambiando

Earlier this year, we launched Extensiones de Google Workspace for Gmail, Google Drive and Google Docs in open beta for the Gemini app. Beginning today, we’re pleased to announce that Google Calendar, Google Keep and Google Tasks are also available as Workspace extensions in the Gemini app.

A quién afecta

Administradores y usuarios finales

Por qué utilizarlo

Extensions allow the Gemini app to interact with other Google apps and services, helping to provide more contextual and relevant responses to your prompts and take certain actions across apps. For example, you can use extensions to:

Calendar
Create an event in Google Calendar based on specific details or based on your conversation with the Gemini appFind events for a specific day, date range, or based on event detailsEdit or cancel events in Calendar
Tasks
Add reminders and tasks, including those based on your conversation with the Gemini appView a list of your tasks and update your tasks
Keep
Create notes and lists, including those based on your conversation with the Gemini appAdd an item to your existing listFind content from your notes and listsReference your notes and lists in your conversation with the Gemini app

Más información

If your prompt includes multiple actions that require separate apps or services, but one or more of the required services are not enabled, neither of the actions will be completed. For example, if you prompt Gemini to create an event on your calendar and a reminder for that event but the Tasks extension is not enabled, the event will not be added to your calendar and you will not get a reminder.As a reminder, during the open beta period, Context-Aware Access (CAA) for Gmail, Drive, Docs, Calendar, Keep and Tasks isn’t supported with Google Workspace extensions. Context-Aware Access gives you control over which apps a user can access based on their context, such as whether their device complies with your IT policy. Learn more about Context-Aware Access.Google Workspace extensions is not available to Google Workspace users accessing Gemini como servicio adicional de Google.Note that Google Workspace personal content the Gemini app gets from extensions is not reviewed by anyone to improve AI models, not used to train AI models, and not shared with other users or institutions.

Refine emails faster with updates to the “Polish” shortcut in Gmail

Qué está cambiando

In August, we announced Help me write and Refine my draft shortcuts on mobile devices. Today, we’re excited to expand Help me write to web and introduce a Polish shortcut on web and mobile that helps you refine emails even faster. 
On web, the Help me write shortcut will now appear in the body of the email when an email draft is empty. The Polish shortcut will appear for drafts with 12+ words, and pressing the shortcut text or typing Ctrl+H will automatically show a polished email output. 

On mobile, the Help me write shortcut will continue to appear in the body of the email when an email draft is empty. The Polish shortcut will now appear for drafts with 12+ words. Swiping on the shortcut text will automatically show a polished email output. From there, users can tap a refinement chip (Formalize, Elaborate or Shorten) to edit the draft in place.

The Gemini app is now a core service with enterprise-grade data protection for more Google Workspace editions

Qué está cambiando

As we recently anunciado, driven by our belief that generative AI can be transformative for every user, the standalone Gemini app (gemini.google.com) will now be included as part of most Google Workspace editions. With enterprise-grade data protections built in, users can now save time and deliver higher quality work — securely and compliantly — with an AI-powered assistant at work.

Beginning today, the Gemini app is now available as a core service with enterprise-grade data protection for Google Workspace users with the following editions:

Business Starter, Business Standard, Business PlusEnterprise Starter, Enterprise Standard, Enterprise PlusFrontline Starter, Frontline StandardEssentials, Enterprise Essentials, Enterprise Essentials PlusEducation Standard, Education Plus Google Workspace for Nonprofits

Más información

As a core service, the Gemini app will be covered under your existing Google Workspace or Google Workspace for Education agreement and will include the same technical support as other Workspace services. Gemini prompts, data, or generated responses won’t be reviewed by human reviewers or otherwise used to improve generative AI models without permission. More information on how we’re protecting your Google Workspace data in the era of generative AI can be found here.
Note: For Education customers, added data protection is available in the Gemini app as either a core or additional service.
Admin console service settings update
As part of this launch, we will be streamlining the Gemini app service settings in the Admin console. Specifically, we will be transitioning to a single checkbox for the user access setting:
The updated Gemini service setting (Admin console > Generative AI > Gemini app > User Access)
When the setting is unchecked (default state for most customers), the Gemini app as a core service with enterprise-grade data protection will be enabled only for:
Gemini for Workspace licensed usersUsers with a qualifying Workspace edition
When the setting is checked, the Gemini app will be enabled for all users, specifically:
Gemini for Workspace licensed usersUsers with a qualifying Workspace editionUsers without a qualifying Workspace edition can access the Gemini app as an additional service
Broader availability of Workspace extensions in Gemini
Expanding the Gemini app as a core service also allows these Workspace editions to leverage Extensiones de Google Workspace in Gemini, which are currently available in open beta for users 18 and older. Once enabled by an admin, extensions allow Gemini to cross reference various Google Workspace apps, like Gmail, Drive, Docs, Calendar, Keep and Tasks, as data sources to better inform its responses.

Audit security settings using the Policy API, now available in open beta

Qué está cambiando

Simplifying the management of Workspace settings continues to be a priority for us. To that end, we’re introducing new tools to help streamline the process for admins. 

Launching to open beta today, we’re pleased to introduce the Policy API, which will help super admins programmatically access information regarding how their Google Workspace environment service level settings and rules are configured. With the Policy API, customers  gain a comprehensive view of all their settings, giving them a holistic view of Workspace security and compliance configurations. Admins will no longer have to navigate through numerous pages in the Admin Console.

To start, the Policy API is available as a read-only API. In future releases, admins will be able to use the API to create, update, and delete their settings, as well as data loss prevention (DLP) rules. Admins will be able to use the API to audit certain settings in the following categories:

Authentication controls such as account recovery, advanced protection program, login challenges, passwords.ChatClassroomDocs and Drive Gmail GroupsMarketplaceMeet SitesTakeout

The Policy API can also be used to read DLP rules, including the ability to:
Read all DLP rule configurations in the admin console, including: rule names and descriptions; applicable organization units (OUs) and groups; triggers and conditions; and app-specific alert actions.Read existing DLP detectors available in the admin console including the detector name, description, and wordlist configurations.Read admin-modified system defined alerts.

A quién afecta

Super Admins

Por qué es importante

With the increase in sophistication and scale of cyber threats, the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency’s Secure Cloud Business Applications (SCuBA) project provides guidance to secure agencies’ cloud business application environments and protect federal information that is created, accessed, shared and stored in those environments. 

The Policy API provides access to the settings that are part of these recommendations published in CISA’s Google Workspace secure configuration baselines. Customers who wish to evaluate their Workspace policies against these baselines can start testing using the Policy API. In future releases, we plan to expand support for additional policies described in CISA’s Workspace baselines.
