Getting started with Gemini Enterprise: A guide across roles and industries
Welcome to Gemini Enterprise! Get ready to transform the way you work. Think of Gemini Enterprise as the central nervous system for AI in your organization. It's designed to help you organise and automate workflows across your entire organization and bring the power of Google AI to every employee. This guide will explain how professionals across all roles and industries can leverage Gemini Enterprise to become more efficient and impactful.
What is Gemini Enterprise?
Gemini Enterprise is Google’s agentic platform that brings the best of Google AI to every employee, for every workflow. Powered by Gemini models, it connects siloed company information to deliver actionable insights, generate content, and automate workflows with agents. It scales collaboration across applications and provides a secure, enterprise-grade platform to govern, orchestrate, and scale AI agents across the organization. It offers:
World-class Gemini models: Access Google’s advanced AI models through intuitive interfaces, and use them as the engine for all your agents and applications. Leverage the latest AI to supercharge your tasks, with features including:
An agentic platform for every employee: Innovate with gen AI across your organization, using Gemini Enterprise as a secure, user-friendly workbench. Enable every employee to build their own custom agents with no-code tools like Agent Designer, to turn expertise into automation and free employees from repetitive tasks, so they can focus on the work that really matters.
A suite of specialized AI agents: Use built-in AI Agents (like the Deep Research Agent) or connect with custom agents tailored for specific tasks (like checking order status, updating CRM, or processing returns) to automate work, conduct research, or gather information for you. (Note: Availability of custom agents may vary based on your organization's setup.)
Grounded in your reality: Break through silos to leverage data across your organization. Gemini Enterprise connects directly to your company’s information, wherever it lives, so your agents can make use of all of your data. This connection isn’t just limited to Workspace data; it includes everything from Microsoft 365 to your core business systems.
A single foundation of trust: Protect your critical information with Google’s secure, enterprise-grade cloud platform. Gemini Enterprise includes a single dashboard to visualize, secure, audit and govern all agents across your business, even if they were built with non-Gemini models. By keeping your business data safe, you can work with full confidence to build, deploy and scale your agents.

Aside from the provided prompts, you can also use your own custom prompts to securely engage with multi-modal models and your organization's data (accessible via Connectors in Gemini Enterprise). To optimize your results, keep these prompt-writing tips in mind:

State your desired output format: Tell the agent what the results should look like.
Use action verbs: Start with what you want Gemini Enterprise to do.
