About this course

If your organisation runs on Google Workspace, you already have a capable AI assistant sitting inside Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Slides and Meet, plus NotebookLM for research and Google AI Studio for anything custom. Most people have barely opened it. This beginner course is for office workers, managers, students and small-business staff who want practical, repeatable ways to use Gemini for everyday work: clearing an inbox, drafting and rewriting documents, analysing a spreadsheet, building a slide deck, researching a topic from your own sources and creating a reusable custom assistant called a Gem. Every lesson is a set of hands-on flows you can run on your real files the same day, with clear notes on what stays private and what Gemini cannot yet do well. You need a Google account with Gemini features enabled; no technical background is required, and the final lesson's short Python example is optional.
