# Gemini

Gemini (Google consumer AI) permits use of outputs with attribution caveats; free-tier conversations may be reviewed and used for improvement; paid Workspace tiers have separate terms.

Gemini is Google's consumer AI assistant (formerly Bard). Free-tier conversations can be reviewed by humans and used to improve Google's products. Paid Gemini for Workspace follows enterprise data protections.

## Analysis & practical guidance

### Free Gemini is reviewed by humans — assume it

The fact most people miss: on the consumer free tier, **a sample of Gemini conversations can be read by human reviewers** and retained separately to improve Google products. Turning off "Gemini Apps Activity" stops *future* conversations from being used, but anything already reviewed may persist for up to three years. Treat the free consumer tier as non-confidential by default.

### Practical implications

- **Workspace (paid) Gemini is governed by enterprise terms** — your data is not used to train models and is not human-reviewed in the same way. This is the tier for business use.
- Output can be used commercially, but Google explicitly makes **you responsible for fact-checking** — Gemini's confident tone is not a guarantee of accuracy.
- Programmatic access is a different product (Google Gemini API / Vertex AI) with its own data rules.

### When to choose it

Consumer Gemini shines if you live inside Google Workspace and want AI in Docs/Gmail. For confidential work, use Workspace tiers; for building apps, use the API — never the free consumer tier.
