Frequently asked questions
In this course, you’ll practice using AI as your writing and communication partner to turn raw inputs—like notes, drafts, or meeting transcripts—into polished, audience-ready messages. The course will help you improve your clarity and influence, and how to save time by using Gemini to help you summarize, refine, adapt, and practice communications across different workplace scenarios.
This course is for anyone who writes or communicates regularly at work and wants to do it faster with more clarity and impact. It’s especially relevant for professionals who run meetings, write updates or proposals, prepare stakeholder communications, or need to practice important conversations—such as managers, marketers, sales teams, product teams, and cross-functional leads.
You’ll build four artifacts you can use at work. First, you’ll learn how to capture meeting notes and key decisions with Gemini in Google Meet, then convert them into a shareable report with actionable next steps. You’ll practice simulating stakeholder feedback to spot gaps in your work and help you prepare for high-stakes reviews. You’ll develop tailored communications by transforming one document into different formats for different audiences, like a memo for leadership or a team update with Gemini Canvas. Finally, you’ll practice your talking points with Gemini Live to strengthen your delivery before an important conversation.
