Gemini Enterprise Business

[Anand S]

I got an email from Google Cloud on my work account "excited to introduce you to Gemini Enterprise".

Once I signed up, it said, "you have 30 days to try Gemini Enterprise – Business edition at no cost." After that, it costs US $21/user/month, which I can subscribe to here.

The main differences from Gemini Pro (consumer accounts) seem to be:

1. Data Privacy. Google won't read or use your data to train. (In Pro, you need to turn it off explicitly. Here, it's the default.)
2. Admin Controls. Admins can turn off connectors, manage users, retention policies, etc.
3. Copyright Indemnification. If AI infringes copyright and you get sued, Google will find the case.

But if you're using Gemini via your Google Workspace account (i.e. your work account already has Pro subscription), then it makes no difference - it's all the same.

So I have no clue why Google's mailed me to buy the same product I already have.
