Google Gemini: Module 1 – Fundamentals Fundamentals Training
Beginner · 3 days or flexible as in-house training · In-House
This workshop gives you a solid foundation in Google Gemini – from the Gemini app to Gemini in Gmail, Docs, Sheets and Meet, all the way to your own Gems. You'll learn how Gemini uses your company context from Google Workspace, why many prompts deliver responses that are too generic, and how to change that with a clear prompt framework.
In the hands-on part, you'll solve your own everyday tasks directly in the Workspace apps, build your own Gem with knowledge sources from Google Drive, and get an insight into Workspace Studio, which lets you integrate Gems into automated workflows.
After the workshop, you'll understand the key concepts, be able to use Gemini productively in your daily work, and create and share your first Gems for your team on your own.
