Setup requirements
Qualifying Google Workspace edition, admin controls, Drive sharing hygiene, DLP and Vault policies, access and data-region decisions, and user training.
IBM Cloud account, region choice, assistant instance, integrations/API design, skills and content, deployment channel, governance, and potential implementation support.
Data and security
Google states Workspace data is not used to train models outside the domain without permission and that Gemini applies existing access, DLP, Vault, and data-governance controls; validate edition-specific availability.
Validate IBM Cloud region, IAM, private endpoints, data isolation, chat-log handling, activity tracking, compliance scope, retention, and what your team must manage.
