Gemini is Google's generative artificial intelligence (AI) tool.  Gemini is available to all users as a chatbot at gemini.google.com.  Google AI Pro for Education (formerly Gemini for Workspace) (Gemini integrated into Gmail, Docs, Sheets, etc.) is also available as a purchased license upgrade from Vendor Risk and License Management Gemini Page. You may need to login to see this page.  Google also has a variety of Gemini tools in Google Cloud, but at this time, these apps (such as Gemini CLI, Antigravity, and more) are not currently available under EDU terms, so should not be used.

Gemini is a Core Google Workspace app and covered under the Core Terms of the Google Workspace Education Agreement.
