What it is
Gemini is Google's assistant, woven into Workspace and available as a standalone chatbot.
Where it shows up
In the browser, and in desktop apps on Mac and Windows.

Common questions

How do I see who is using Gemini?
Install Northbeams across your fleet and your first sweep lands within 24 hours, with every Gemini user attributed by name across browser, desktop, CLI, and MCP. No proxy, no MITM cert, no network change.
Can I block Gemini?
Yes. Block it, allow it by team, or sandbox it in one click, and coach users toward a sanctioned tool at the DNS layer.
Is Gemini sanctioned or high-risk?
That is your call. Northbeams sorts every tool as sanctioned, unknown, or high-risk and lets you set the policy per team. Gemini sits in the unknown bucket by default until you decide.
