Does sabiaOS use Gemini?

Yes. The AI assistant in sabiaOS currently uses models from the Gemini family via Google Cloud Vertex AI with European endpoints. Using inputs to train the models is contractually excluded. Application data is stored on German servers.

What is the difference between sabiaOS and Gemini?

Gemini is a general assistant that works in your Google apps and with uploaded files. In sabiaOS, the AI works directly in the client file – it knows the client's documents, financial plan and account data and can update data, tasks and appointments after your approval.

Can I enter client data into the Gemini app?

It depends on the account. With a Workspace business account, Google says content is not used for training and not reviewed by humans. In the personal app, parts of chats may be reviewed and used for improvement while activity saving is on. Check your use with your data protection officer.

Do I still need Gemini if I use sabiaOS?

For emails, writing and documents in Google Workspace, Gemini can remain very useful. For client work – reading documents, maintaining client data, preparing plans – the AI assistant in sabiaOS is the purpose-built option. Google itself notes that Gemini's answers should not be relied on as financial advice.

Verdict

Gemini is a strong choice if your firm runs on Google Workspace – the AI sits right inside Gmail, Docs and Drive, with clear data protection commitments for business accounts. sabiaOS uses the same model family in a different place – directly in the client file, with access to the client's documents, financial plan and account data. The two complement each other well.

What matters in this comparison

Because sabiaOS itself uses Gemini models, this is not about "better or worse". It is about the right place for the AI.

Gemini in Workspace helps where you write and communicate: in Gmail, Docs and Meet. The AI knows your emails and files, but not the structure of your client relationships.

The AI assistant in sabiaOS works where your client data lives. It knows the client file, documents, financial plan and account data, and it writes results back directly after your approval.

On data protection, a lot depends on the account and Workspace edition with Gemini. In sabiaOS the same rules apply to every customer: data in Germany, AI via European endpoints, no training, data processing agreement included.

As of October 2026. Information about Gemini is based on publicly available information from Google. Features, plans and terms may change.
