  • You submit a prompt to the Gemini app
  • You ask Gemini for Google Workspace to do work for you. For example:
    • You use AI to summarize email or documents across Google Workspace apps.
    • You use AI to generate or re-draft content across Google Workspace apps, such as "Help me write" or "Create Image with Gemini."
    • You use AI to organize and track data in Google Sheets.
  • You accept a suggestion from Gemini for Google Workspace. When Gemini detects an opportunity to help you get work done, it makes suggestions that you can choose to accept or ignore. Suggestions that you ignore don't count towards active use. When you accept a suggestion, such as enhanced Smart Fill in Sheets, it counts towards active use.

Note:

  • Usage reporting from Gemini (gemini.google.com) began on August 9, 2024.
  • It might take 2-3 days for reports to show the latest data.
