Many professionals use Google Workspace like Microsoft Office, treating Drive as simple storage or Sheets as a basic spreadsheet tool. This course shows you how to unlock its full potential with Gemini.
Instead of only using AI to rewrite text, you’ll learn how to use the Gemini side panel to pull critical data from across Drive directly into the document you are working on.
You’ll explore how to identify misalignments in complex Gmail threads, create data visualisations in Sheets using natural language, and generate custom designs in Slides without leaving your everyday applications.
Through practical, guided exercises, you’ll work across datasets in Google Drive, ask questions across multiple email threads, and use the =GEMINI() function to write formulas directly in Google Sheets.
Delivered by AI practitioners, this expert-led session follows our “listen, see, do” approach, giving you hands-on experience and practical skills you can apply immediately.
Our Exploring Gemini in Google Workspace (Google Sheets, Slides, Docs, Gmail, Drive) workshop is available as a private training session that can be delivered virtually or at a location of your choice in the US.
