Google Gemini & NotebookLM

Google Gemini

小草社区 faculty, staff, and students have access to Google Gemini with data protection, a more secure alternative to the consumer version of Gemini (Google's generative AI). Gemini can be used to create new content and images, help brainstorm ideas, draft or summarize writing, explore complex topics, and assist with research and creative work to enhance education and work tasks.

When logged in with your 小草社区 account, data shared with Gemini is not shared with Google. This helps ensure university data is not used to train generative AI models or reviewed by humans.
