Google Rolls Out Gemini AI App to All Education Workspace Users For Free

Google officially launched the Gemini app for all Workspace for Education users this month. Starting now, students, teachers, and school admins can access it without needing a paid upgrade or additional configuration.

Gemini, Google’s AI assistant and content tool, now runs directly inside the Workspace side panel. It works across Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drive, and Gmail. Users can summarize documents, generate lesson plans, write emails, or organize files with just a few prompts.

The rollout covers every version of Workspace for Education—Fundamentals, Standard, Teaching and Learning Upgrade, and Plus. Schools don’t need to enable anything. Admins still have access to control panels if they want to manage visibility, but the feature stays on by default.

Unlike the Gemini for Google One offering, which includes a premium tier and a dedicated mobile app, this version does not carry a price tag or branding changes. It simply adds Gemini’s capabilities to existing Google tools already used in classrooms.

Google says it designed this release to “support teaching and learning,” but the actual feature set mirrors what’s already live in corporate Workspace accounts. The difference? Schools get it without having to argue for more budget.

The app started appearing in user accounts this week and should roll out globally over the next few days. Anyone logged into a Workspace for Education account can find the Gemini icon in the side panel and start using it right away.
