Gemini in Google Workspace: A Working Guide for VAs

This course is for VAs who already work inside Google Workspace and want to stop doing by hand what Gemini can do in seconds: summarising threads, drafting replies from your own documents, pulling data out of dozens of files, building tables and charts, and turning long documents and meetings into usable output.

You will work through the Gemini app first – model choice, file uploads, Canvas, generated media and deep research – then the side panel in Gmail, Drive, Sheets and Docs, and finally Google Vids, NotebookLM and the Google Meet notetaker. Each lesson is procedural: what to click, what to type and what to check before you send anything to a client.

By the end you will be able to set up scheduled actions and custom gems for recurring client work, build a spreadsheet from a folder of contracts, produce a detailed audio version of a long document, and turn meeting notes into tasks and follow-up emails without re-reading the transcript.

Content review due: October 2027. This course covers tools or features that change over time (The course depends on current Gemini model names, menu paths, the 2 GB upload limit, daily video-generation allowances and features flagged as experimental or not yet available, all of which change as).
