Plans for Italian schools
Free Gemini
Schools using Google Workspace for Education can access basic Gemini features through specific Google tools.
The free features include:
Basic Gemini Chatbot: users can interact with Gemini chatbot (based on models like Gemini Pro 1.0/1.5 Flash) directly through the web interface (gemini.google.com). This version offers fundamental AI capabilities for answering questions, assisting with tasks, and facilitating creative interactions.
Enterprise-level data protection: a crucial aspect for educational institutions is that, even with free access for Google Workspace for Education users, data is not used for training Gemini models or for advertising purposes, thus protecting the privacy of students and staff.
Access to NotebookLM: all users can use NotebookLM, a tool designed to optimize information management and simplify the creation of educational materials. The free features of NotebookLM allow users to create and interact with their notes and sources.

Starting from September 2025, all these functionalities will merge into Google AI Pro for Education, which will become the only available add-on.
