Put Gemini to work.

Get real value out of Google Gemini without the hype. Five short lessons for staff and managers in a Google Workspace shop: draft and summarise in Gmail and Meet, write documents and decks in Docs and Slides, get help in Sheets, and use NotebookLM to brief yourself from your own files. Plain English, real Google tools, no code. The Google-side companion to our Copilot course, so you can pick the stack you already run.

For staff and managers in a Google Workspace shop who want the daily time back: faster email, meetings that write up their own notes, quicker documents and decks, and research from your own files. Plain English, real Google tools, no code.

What you'll learn
Lesson 1 Gemini across Workspace Gemini is the AI built into Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Slides and Meet, plus a chat app of its own and NotebookLM for research. A clear picture of what it is, where it lives, and what it can and can't do. 7 min
Lesson 2 Gmail and Meet Draft a reply in seconds, summarise a long thread, and walk out of a meeting with the notes and actions already written. The two daily time sinks Gemini quietly clears, and the human check that keeps it safe. 8 min
Lesson 3 Docs and Slides First drafts, rewrites and tidy summaries in Docs, and a rough deck built from a few lines in Slides. How to go from blank page to a solid starting point in minutes, then make it sound like you. 8 min
Lesson 4 Sheets basics and NotebookLM Gemini for the everyday Sheets jobs, and NotebookLM as the standout: point it at your own documents and get answers, summaries and briefings grounded in your files, not the open web. 8 min
Lesson 5 Good prompts, safe use, and your plan The simple prompt recipe that lifts every answer, the safe-use rules for work data, how it ties to your AI policy, and a calm 90-day plan to roll Gemini out one win at a time. 6 min

Work through them in order. The single way in is lesson 1.

Before you start.

Is the course really free?
Yes, completely. All five lessons are free to read with no sign-up. If you'd like the fill-in workbook to audit your week and plan your rollout with the team, that's a quick email, and that's the only thing asked for anywhere on here. There's a free one-page summary too, with nothing asked for.
Who is this for?
Staff and managers in a business that already runs on Google Workspace. It's pitched at beginners: if you can use Gmail and Google Docs, you're ready. No technical background needed, and no code anywhere.
Do I need a particular plan to follow along?
Gemini features show up across Workspace, and the exact availability moves around by plan and over time. The course teaches the workflow and the safe-use habits, which hold whatever your plan, and it flags why a business Workspace setup matters for sensitive data.
How long does it take?
About 37 minutes all up, across five short lessons. Read it in one sitting or one lesson at a time, whatever suits.
Will it go out of date as Google changes things?
The products move fast, so the course sticks to what lasts: the everyday jobs Gemini does well, the prompt recipe, and the safe-use rules. We keep clear of exact menus, prices and plan names that change month to month.
Is this just a sales pitch?
No. It's the same honest advice JDCS would give in a conversation, written down, so you walk away genuinely more capable. If you later want a hand rolling Gemini out across your team, the first conversation is free and you keep the plan either way.
When you're ready

Want Gemini rolled out properly across your team?

Once you've tried a few wins, the next step is fitting Gemini into how your team actually works: the right safe-use rules, a short prompt pack everyone shares, and the data handled properly. That first conversation is free, and you keep the plain-English plan either way.
