Chapter 5: Gemini in Google Workspace

This video shows how Google has embedded Gemini directly into Workspace apps—Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Meet—so that AI becomes a natural part of your workday rather than an extra tool to manage. Using real-life scenarios, it demonstrates how Gemini helps tame a chaotic inbox by summarising long email threads and drafting polished replies, then shifts into Docs where it transforms bullet points into structured reports and rewrites complex sections into plain English. It positions Gemini as a supportive “co-pilot” that removes friction from everyday workflows, helping you move from blank page to polished draft with ease.

The session then highlights Gemini’s strengths in data and collaboration. In Sheets, it turns raw data into clear visualisations and explanations, effectively acting as a built-in analyst. In Slides, it generates entire presentation outlines, adds draft content, and even produces custom AI-generated images, cutting hours of design work. Finally, in Meet, it functions as a live scribe, generating real-time summaries and action items so participants can stay fully engaged. The video closes by reinforcing that Gemini is not a separate tool but an integrated teammate embedded in the apps you already use daily—removing drudgery, boosting productivity, and allowing you to focus on the work that really matters.
