Introducing Admin Assist, a Gemini-powered sidepanel and search overview in the Google Admin Console to simplify administrative tasks.
Admin Assist brings two Gemini-powered capabilities to the Google Admin Console: a Sidepanel accessible via the One Google Bar that provides contextual help, step-by-step guidance, and best practices; and Search Overviews that synthesize Help Center articles into conversational summaries with actionable next steps when administrators query the main search bar. Aimed at Super Admins of Business editions, the feature is on by default and requires no end-user settings, streamlining domain management and troubleshooting.
