Gemini consulting
Google Gemini consulting for Workspace teams
For organisations on Google Workspace: we check what Gemini would surface from Drive and Gmail, roll it out team by team, and build Gemini API work into your own systems.
The risks before rollout
Wide Drive sharing
Files shared with the whole domain or anyone with the link.
Orphaned shared drives
Folders nobody owns but everyone can open.
No usage rules
Staff unsure what they may ask Gemini to work on.
Results nobody measured
No way to show the rollout paid off.

Gemini finds what people can already open
Google states that Gemini in Workspace works within each user's existing access to files. So the risk sits in old sharing settings: content people can open without knowing it becomes easy to find. A sharing review before rollout deals with that first.

- Owners named for shared drives
- A record for your auditors
Questions
What does a Google Gemini consultant do?
A Gemini consultant checks what Gemini in Google Workspace would surface, fixes risky sharing, writes the usage policy and rolls Gemini out team by team. Solve8 also builds Gemini API work into internal systems.
Is Gemini in Google Workspace safe for company data?
Google states that Workspace content is not used to train generative AI models outside your domain without permission, and that Gemini works within existing file access. The main risk is files shared more widely than intended, which a sharing review fixes before rollout.
Should we choose Gemini or Microsoft Copilot?
The suite you already run usually decides it: Gemini fits Google Workspace and Copilot fits Microsoft 365. Organisations that run both should compare them on a few real tasks before buying licences for everyone.
Can Gemini work with our other business systems?
Yes, through the Gemini API. We connect it to systems such as your CRM, ERP or job management software, with access limited to the data each task needs.
How do we roll Gemini out without disrupting staff?
Start with one team and one or two tasks, measure them against a baseline, then add teams once the usage policy and sharing fixes have held up.
