Welcome to the Google Gemini! Google Gemini is an AI assistant which can understand, generate, and process multiple types of data. Upload and interact with items like text, images, code, and so much more. 

Our Texas State Google Workspace provides access to Google Gemini in a safe, secure, and private environment. Data and interactions are not used to train the Google AI models.

What Can Gemini Do For Me?

Google Gemini helps with writing, planning, problem-solving, and data analysis. Draft communications, organize projects, generate reports, or get instant answers to complex questions.

    • Log into Google Gemini using your TXST NetID and password, just like you log into other campus services. You should log out of your personal account, if you have one, or use a separate web browser for your personal Google account.

    • If you already have a personal account with Google (e.g., Gmail), you will now have multiple accounts and profiles: Your personal account with all of the Google products you've subscribed to, and your TXST account. The TXST account will contain services subscribed to by the university. Google services such as Google One, Google Drive, and Google Workspace are not included in the TXST version. You may wish to use a different browser - one for your personal Google account and another for your TXST account.

    • All students, faculty, and staff are able to use the tool.

    • Ongoing

    • Access to Gemini and its features like Canvas and Deep Research is provided at no cost to TXST users.

    • The primary reason is data protection. When you use your TXST account, your conversations and any data you upload are considered "Core Services" under the university's enterprise agreement. This means your data is not used to train Google's AI models, is not reviewed by people, and is handled in a way that supports compliance with regulations. A personal account does not provide these protections.

    • The Gemini App is a versatile AI assistant. You can use it to:

      • Plan & Create: Draft lesson plans, syllabi, instructional materials, and assessments.
      • Research & Analyze: Accelerate literature reviews, summarize articles, and use the "Deep Research" feature to generate comprehensive reports on a topic.
      • Communicate: Draft emails, newsletters, and other communications.
      • Learn: Get step-by-step help with homework, create personalized practice quizzes, and get feedback on your writing.
      • Code: Get help writing, explaining, and debugging code.

    • This tool is authorized for use with TXST confidential data. See Information Security's Data Classification Guide. 

      The TXST Google Workspace for Education Gemini service provides enhanced data protection that supports compliance; it is appropriate for university-related work that may involve protected information. Your conversations and uploaded data are not used for model training. Always follow existing university data handling policies. This tool is authorized for use with TXST confidential data.
