Gemini

Gemini is a conversational AI used to help you write, plan, learn, and create.

Gemini is a web-based, conversational AI assistant. It is designed to be multimodal; it can understand and reason simultaneously across different types of data such as text, images, and audio. 

Gemini is available for all Stanford faculty, staff, and students with a full-service SUNet ID. Gemini is part of Stanford's Google Workspace and is approved for Low Risk and Moderate Data ONLY.

Gemini features

Gemini can summarize documents, write emails, generate formulas, and take notes.

  • Pedagogical benefits: Gemini can serve as an adaptable tutor, capable of adjusting explanations to fit specific reading levels or learning styles to support diverse student needs.
  • Teaching strategies: Instructors can use Gemini to rapidly prototype syllabus structures, generate comprehensive grading rubrics, or draft multiple-choice questions for formative knowledge checks.
  • Exemplary use cases: A student can paste an academic abstract into Gemini to summarize the methodology in plain language, or an instructor can input a draft assignment to identify potential areas of student confusion.
