Has anyone here managed to enable extensions for their Google Workspace account (not just personal gmail)?

I've tried enabling this setting for both a legacy free Google Apps domain, and for a paid Business account: https://static.wixstatic.com/media/bb4812_1dc8e704bf6d4a49af...

Neither account displays the extensions icon, and visiting https://bard.google.com/extensions just redirects to https://bard.google.com/chat

Bard's integration with Gmail is extremely basic -- it's just using regular Gmail search to include a few relevant emails in its prompt and then trying to answer your question. There's no AI in the email side.

We launched a much more capable Gmail + AI assistant this morning here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37585990#37586627

We're using embeddings + vector DB + x-encoder + more to deliver a much smarter & capable assistant.

Just shooting from the hip, but if you're logged into multiple accounts simultaneously, try just one. I've found that the u=1 URL query param (or maybe /u/1 path, whatever it is) incrementer to select among active sessions is reasonably persistent with most, but not all, Google apps. Notably, Google Analytics would drop the ball at times, leading me to manually add it back

Thanks. I already use a separate Chrome profile for each Google account.

This would be useful for Google Workspaces if it respected all of the ACL's across shared google drives. To be able to ask questions about the document repository would be a nice thing to have. Currently Bard isn't supported for Workspace.

No thanks, stay away from our emails. Last thing people want is their email content and personal google drive including images to be part of a giant LLM that is publicly available for anyone to use.

I would assume that Google already uses gmail data for training Bard. Is there reason to believe that's not true?
