What is Google Gemini?

Gemini is Google's AI-powered  chatting assistant that can support a variety of academic and professional tasks. Gemini operates through a conversational interface. You can start with a question or instruction, known as a prompt, and continue the conversation with follow-up questions or additional instructions.

  • Brainstorming ideas and exploring topics
  • Answering questions and explaining concepts
  • Summarizing documents and information

What is Gemini Notebook?

Gemini Notebook, formerly known as NotebookLM, is Google's AI-powered research and learning tool. Unlike a general Gemini conversation, Gemini Notebook is designed to help you work with a collection of sources that you provide. 

Marist's Gemini license provides faculty, staff, and students with Enterprise Data Protection when you access Gemini and sign in with your Marist account credentials.
