External Services & Analytics

Google Gemini AI Commercial API

Description: Conversational AI assistance for project chat, file analysis, and AI-powered search functionality (optional feature, activated via @gemini mentions or search usage)

Provider: Google LLC

Terms of Service: https://policies.google.com/terms

Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

Usage: This is an optional feature. When you use Gemini features (by @mentioning gemini in chats or using the search functionality), your query text, search queries, project context, and optionally file content (limited to 10,000 characters) are sent to Google's Gemini API for processing. Google processes this data according to their terms and privacy policy.

Data Location: Google may process requests on servers worldwide, including outside the European Union

User Control: You have full control over this feature. Simply avoid using @gemini mentions or the search functionality if you prefer to keep all data within our EU-based infrastructure. All core protein analysis features work without Gemini integration.
