Session Description

Gemini and NotebookLM are more than simple AI chat tools. They are integrated assistants within Google Workspace that can help draft content, manage communication, analyze information, and turn everyday documents into useful insights. In this practical, demonstration-based session, participants will explore what these tools do especially well, where they are most useful in daily work, and how to begin using them effectively across common tasks.

This session builds on foundational use of Gemini and NotebookLM and focuses on designing high-impact, repeatable workflows in Google Workspace. Through scenario-based demonstrations and guided practice, participants will learn to refine prompting strategies, iterate for higher-quality outputs, and apply AI to complex work such as synthesizing information across documents, drafting and revising with a consistent voice, preparing meeting materials from source content, and accelerating analysis and reporting in Sheets.
