• Workspace users can now use Google’s brand-new Gemini AI app
• You can use the mobile’s camera to upload pictures directly into the chatbot
• The app still lacks some functionality, like Workspace extensions

Keen to get its generative AI features onto more devices, Google has announced it is bringing the Gemini AI app to Android and iOS devices for Google Workspace users, meaning employees will now be able to interact with the service from their mobile devices.

Besides its core chatbot functionalities, Google Workspace users can also directly leverage the on-device camera to use images as input.

The move is welcome news for work and education customers, who have largely had to rely on PC-based applications up until now.

Google AI is going mobile

Google’s AI has been slowly infusing into the mobile experience for months, but its key productivity enhancements have been most prominent on the desktop, especially for Workspace customers.

With the app, users can do all the usual things, such as create presentation-ready visuals and summarize information which can then go on to be used in other Workspace apps, like Docs, Slides and Gmail.

Google confirmed: “All of this comes with the enterprise data protections Google Workspace customers are accustomed to.”

However, some of the features that are available to Workspace users on the web version of Gemini are not yet supported in the mobile app. Missing features include extensions for the Workspace apps, file uploads and Gems.
