Objectives of this training

  • A first Gemini deliverable and a map of accessible Apps, Gems and Workspace features.
  • Navigate Gemini, history, files and settings; distinguish plausible generation from source-grounded answers. Compare thread context with reusable Gem instructions and authorised Workspace context.
  • Define goal, audience, sources and format; revise a summary and write instructions for an available Gem to reproduce that format on a second memo.
  • Demonstrate sourced research, a Docs summary or Gmail draft where authorised, and Nano Banana images in Gemini where available. Distinguish apps, accessible data and account-dependent features; do not send the email.
  • Use authorised documents to assemble a business memo, message and available visual; check names, figures and conclusions for consistency and correct discrepancies.
