Turn Google AI Studio on or off for users

Let your users try out models and experiment with generative AI prompts

As an admin, you manage how people in your organization access Google AI Studio with their Google Workspace account. AI Studio is a browser-based Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for prototyping with generative models. You can quickly try out models and experiment with different prompts.

You can turn on AI Studio as an additional service for everyone in your organization, specific organizational units, or specific groups. You must verify your domain before you can turn on AI Studio as an additional service.
