The Google Gemini Essentials course introduces learners to generative AI concepts and Google Gemini as an integrated AI assistant within Google Workspace. Unlike standalone AI chat tools, Gemini is embedded directly into everyday applications such as Gmail, Docs, Sheets, and Slides, enabling users to write, summarize, analyze, and reason without leaving their work context.
This class focuses on building correct mental models, responsible-use habits, and practical confidence with Gemini’s core capabilities. Learners will see how Gemini works across Workspace, practice the most important everyday use cases, and gain awareness of advanced features and automation options that are explored further in the Mastery class.
There are no technical prerequisites for this class.
Learners should be comfortable using Google Workspace applications such as Gmail, Docs, Sheets, and Slides, and navigating a web browser. No prior experience with generative AI or Gemini is required.

• Knowledge workers looking to improve writing, summarization, and analysis
• Business users curious about AI but unsure where to start
