Use Gemini to help manage Google Workspace for your organization

We are introducing new admin assist capabilities, bringing two new Gemini-powered capabilities to the Google Admin Console: the side panel and AI overviews. Designed to simplify complex administrative workflows and troubleshooting, this launch makes managing Google Workspace easier and faster. Admin assist features are available for customers with Google Workspace Business editions only.

Previously, administrators often had to toggle back and forth between different browser tabs, troubleshooting documentation, and the console to manage domain policies. With this update, we are integrating conversational AI assistance directly into your Google Workspace management surface to provide instant, contextual support.

• Gemini-powered side panel: Conveniently accessible via the Google Bar on most of the pages of the Admin console. Super admins can use the side panel to get help with complex tasks, learn about administrative best practices, and receive interactive, step-by-step guidance.
• Gemini-powered AI Overviews: A proactive search feature that triggers when you ask a question in the main Admin console search bar. This will automatically synthesize Google Workspace Help Center articles into conversational summaries, presenting you with the exact answers you need alongside direct, actionable next steps.

Whether you are looking to audit application usage or investigate configuration drifts, these features act as your personal technical co-worker—allowing you to manage your domain securely and efficiently.
