Using Gemini in your browser, without installing anything

Gemini is an AI made by Google. You can use it directly in your browser, without downloading anything. This guide shows you how to sign in and ask your first question.

Check your Google account

Gemini works with a Google account. If you are not signed in yet, sign in to your Google account in your browser.

A Google work account (Workspace) must be on an eligible edition, and its holder must be at least 18 years old. For a school account, the administrator of the institution must turn on the service.

Accounts managed with Family Link may not have access to Gemini, especially for children under 13.

Open Gemini

Open your browser, then type gemini.google.com in the address bar. The Gemini page appears.

Write your question

Find the text box at the bottom of the screen. Click in it and type your question, just as you would in a message. You can be simple and direct.

Add a file (optional)

If you want to attach a document or an image, click the “Add files” button. Choose the file on your computer.

Send your question

Click the “Send” button. Gemini shows its answer below your question. You can reply to it to continue the conversation.

Start a new chat

To change topic, click “New chat” at the top left of the screen. If this button does not appear, first click “Menu”, then click “New chat”.

Gemini offers a free plan and paid plans. For prices and the differences between them, check the official Google website.

And now?

Try these two requests, for example:

• “Explain in simple terms what artificial intelligence is, in five sentences at most.”
• “Help me write a polite email asking to reschedule an appointment.”
