Google has introduced a new offering called Gemini for Government, a suite of AI and cloud-based tools designed specifically for U.S. federal agencies. Announced jointly with the General Services Administration (GSA), the initiative is aimed at accelerating government adoption of generative AI technologies while keeping costs minimal.
Under the agreement, agencies will gain access to a wide range of AI capabilities—including tools for generating images, videos, text, and virtual agents that can carry out multi-step tasks independently. The cost per user is expected to be less than one U.S. dollar, according to the GSA.
The Gemini platform leverages Google’s existing cloud infrastructure and large language models, offering what the company describes as a “full stack” approach to AI services. It is built to integrate with existing government workflows and comply with federal cybersecurity and data protection requirements. Although the tools are commercially derived, the offering has been customized to meet public sector needs.
The move is part of a broader trend among tech providers offering low-cost AI services to the U.S. government. Just weeks ago, OpenAI made its enterprise-grade ChatGPT platform available to federal agencies for $1 under a separate agreement. Earlier this year, the U.S. Department of Defense awarded OpenAI a $200 million contract to develop generative AI applications for both administrative and cyber defense purposes.
Google’s Gemini for Government builds on its earlier deals with public sector entities, including discounted access to Google Workspace tools. Now, the company appears to be positioning itself as a central AI provider to U.S. agencies by offering secure and scalable generative AI solutions at near-zero cost.
Federal agencies are expected to use the tools to enhance internal efficiency, accelerate data analysis, and improve citizen services. According to the GSA, the new program allows government teams to test and deploy AI capabilities with minimal barriers, creating opportunities for wide-scale transformation in how services are delivered.
