Description
Gemini is Google’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool. The service is available as a web chatbot or mobile app.
Privacy
When logged in with your Swarthmore Google account, Google will not use your information to train their models. If you use Gemini with a personal account, Google may use your data for training purposes.
Access
The service is available as a chatbot at gemini.google.com.
There are Gemini apps for iOS and Android.
Data Retention
Gemini Chats are saved by Google for 3 months and then deleted. There is an option to create a temporary chat that is not retained in the char history.
To preserve a chat longer than 3 months, copy and paste the content into a Google Doc or print the page to a PDF file.
Individual chat responses can also be exported to Gmail or a Google Doc. This will only include a single chat response, not the entire conversation. Look for the “share” icon at the bottom of a response.
