Google Vault now supports filtered exports for Gemini in Workspace

Google Vault now supports eDiscovery filtered exports for Gemini in Workspace. This update adds a new data source to our AI compliance capabilities, allowing administrators to filter and export users’ Gemini in Workspace conversations across apps like Gmail, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides and Meet in line with the security controls and privacy provisions of Vault:

• Filter conversations by custodian and date range: Define export scopes by specific user accounts or organizational units (OUs) up to 5,000 users in size, and filter by a specific date range (with time zone selection).
• Export conversations in a JSON format: Export matching conversation histories via the Vault UI or API. While exported in JSON, the metadata tags align with the GenAI conversation format used in the Gemini app.
• Include conversation context: Exports include user prompts, AI responses, generated attachments (such as images), and links to referenced Workspace files (such as Drive documents or Gmail threads) and citations.

Google Vault enables customers to govern and export their Google Workspace data from a central tool to meet legal and regulatory obligations. Additional information governance features for Gemini in Workspace, such as retention rules and litigation holds, will follow in future releases.

Additional details

• Application scope: This update captures Gemini in Workspace conversations created when conversation history is turned on across integrated Workspace apps (Gmail, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Meet). 
• Conversation history settings: Admins can use OU-level conversation history and deletion settings in the Admin console to govern data retention (such as preventing manual conversation deletion by users or configuring automatic deletion after a period of inactivity).
• UI experience: Admins can start an export directly from the Search tab in Vault by selecting “Gemini in Workspace” from the newly alphabetized service dropdown, entering their filter criteria, and clicking “Export.”
• API support: Support for Vault API users will be available within 14 days of the UI rollout.
