Comprehensive, hands-on command of Google Gemini AI is what this course delivers to professionals working in any role or sector. No background in Gemini, other AI tools, or programming is expected before you begin. Participants already working in Google Workspace will draw the most from the Workspace-integrated exercises, but full participation only requires a Gemini subscription, since every exercise flags whether a feature depends on Workspace or runs on a standalone Gemini plan.
