Important policy updates for Early Access apps starting July 30, 2024

[Update - July 31, 2024]: Google AI Studio will transition from an Early Access app to an Additional Google Service on August 2, 2024. 

What’s changing 

To ensure organizations’ continued access to services, we're changing the way Early Access apps transition to Additional Google Services:


Currently, when an Early Access app becomes an Additional Google Service, it is turned on or off by default based on your new services preference in the Admin console. This occurs even if the Early Access apps service status is set to On for everyone


Starting July 30, 2024, if you have an Early Access app service set to On, you won’t lose access to the app when it transitions to an additional service, regardless of your new service preferences. These apps will only be turned off if both settings are set to Off.


Additional details

Google AI Studio will transition from an Early Access app to an Additional Google Service on August 2, 2024. Access to AI Studio will be based on the information outlined above. We recommend that you double-check your settings ahead of time to ensure access to AI Studio is configured as you see fit.
