Let users' Assistants access Google Workspace

Google Assistant is not available for managed Chromebooks.

As an administrator for an organization, you control whether people in your organization can access services such as Google Calendar, Meet, and Gmail, using the Google Assistant. Users can also set up multiple accounts at once on their Assistant devices. For details, see Use multiple accounts at once on your Google Assistant devices.

The Assistant now allows people to perform work-related tasks on the go or while working from home. For example, the Assistant can respond to questions and commands such as:

• What's on my schedule today?
• Create an event for 1pm on Friday.
• Where's my next meeting?
• What's my first meeting tomorrow?

Turn on access to Google Workspace

To turn on access to Google Workspace for the Google Assistant, in the Admin console, make sure Search and Assistant and User access to Google Workspace data and services are turned on for your organization. For details, see Turn Search and Assistant on or off.
