Both the Gemini app and Gemini Enterprise come with enterprise-grade security and compliance controls and leverage the latest Gemini models to help users get their work done faster and with higher quality. The choice of which AI solution is a better fit for your teams largely depends on the specific needs and requirements of your business.

The Gemini app is an everyday AI assistant, designed to enhance creativity and boost productivity for individuals and teams in companies of all sizes. The Gemini app is included at no additional cost for Google Workspace commercial and public sector customers and comes with enterprise-grade security and compliance controls. It leverages data from Workspace apps, such as Gmail, Drive, and Chat, to provide personalized responses and can be centrally managed from the Workspace admin console.

Gemini Enterprise is a powerful agentic platform built to understand the full context of your business and automate complex, end-to-end workflows. Specifically developed for businesses and enterprises, it securely connects to a broad set of your organization's applications and data, allowing you to chat with Gemini grounded in your business context. Gemini Enterprise also allows teams to use a single interface to interact with Google-made, custom no-code or code, or 3rd-party agents to automate simple to complex workflows. It also provides a single pane of glass for organizations to centrally govern all the agents across the teams.

While both the Gemini app and Gemini Enterprise benefit from Google's cutting-edge AI models and enterprise-grade security and compliance controls, Gemini Enterprise might be especially beneficial for teams that need to synthesize data from a broad set of company data sources (beyond Google Workspace), leverage Google-made, custom, and 3rd-party agents, and meet HIPAA compliance and data residency requirements for NotebookLM.
