Since Google Gemini hit the scene, it has been showing us new ways to boost both our productivity and creativity. But how can you put it to work in your organization?
This article will offer a starting point for you to glean a few ideas from, and is by no means an exhaustive list. These are just some of the unique things you do with Gemini for Google Workspace.
Gemini is Google's new generative AI assistant developed by DeepMind and Google Research. It’s designed to understand and generate multiple types of data like text, images, audio, and other complex information. Integrated into the Google Workspace platform, this tool helps users write, visualize, organize, and connect in new ways.
With all this in mind, you can see how Gemini represents a significant leap forward for Google, combining the best aspects of Bard and Duet AI into one versatile tool. It's designed to meet the diverse needs of both developers and content creators, with the overall goal of tailored support that boosts your productivity and enhances your creativity.
Unlike Chat GPT and Claud, Gemini is more than just a third-party chat bot. It natively integrates with Google Workspace means that it can be put to use in any Google app. Gmail, Docs, Slides, Gmail — you name it.
For a closer look at its capabilities, you can chat with Gemini here or read more about its functionalities within Google Workspace here.
Google has gone into great detail about how different companies are currently using Gemini to create customer support, data agents, employee engagement tools, and more. But there are a wealth of use cases that are still unexplored — or at least, not as frequently discussed.
Let’s take a look at a few unique ways you can leverage Gemini within your organization — and particularly — within Google Workspace.
Automatically create structured meeting agendas based on the meeting’s purpose and participants. You’ll save a lot of time with Gemini so you can focus on the actual meeting.
So you have a project plan, but now you need to make the template. If you don’t have the time, Gemini can help you design bespoke templates for project management tailored to your specific team’s needs.
Provide instant creative suggestions during brainstorming sessions. You won’t have to stop and think as much when Gemini can do the heavy lifting for you.
Without a doubt, this has been a popular use case for generative AI since it came out, but Gemini is particularly good at condensing lengthy email exchanges into concise summaries.
You can use Gemini to ensure all of your documents follow a uniform style and format automatically. If you work with a variety of different documents, this can be a life saver.
If you’re someone who often needs to create briefs or pitch decks, then Gemini can help you transform boring textual information into visually engaging presentations.
Working with a global team comes with its own set of challenges, so using Gemini to provide real-time translations in Google Meet can help you facilitate communication among international teams.
You can use Gemini to automatically populate spreadsheets with data from various sources to cut some of the drudgery from your work day.
Many of the emails we send are the same when you boil it down. Gemini can inject its knowledge to suggest responses for your emails based on past communication patterns.
Nobody ever said they love creating pivot tables, but Gemini has a knack for it. You can use it to automatically generate your pivot tables to analyze large datasets.
Creating illustrative graphs and charts from data for presentations doesn’t take much time if you use Gemini to do the hard part.
This is another way generative AI comes to the rescue. You can use it to analyze customer feedback and generate actionable insights.
Gemini has been trained on a mountain of marketing data and advertising language. So it can provide creative content ideas for your marketing efforts.
Sales pitches might be one thing but personalized sales pitches are another ball game. Gemini can use its text generation abilities to help you create tailored sales pitches based on your own customer data. But rest assured that your information is secure.
While you’re focusing on the meeting, Gemini can be in the background remembering what you actually need to do once the meeting ends, by generating task lists from meeting discussions and decisions.
No one knows what the future holds when it comes to finances, but Gemini can give you an idea by predicting financial outcomes using AI-based analysis.
Making reports is not as fun as it sounds, and when you’re tired of it, you can offload the work to Gemini and create detailed reports automatically from collected data.
If you’re not a programmer, you probably need to ask someone or turn to Google when it comes to writing code. Gemini already has the details down and can provide coding assistance and suggestions for Google Apps Script.
Compliance reports can add plenty of headaches to your work day, so using Gemini to automatically create reports can help you ensure regulatory compliance without boring you to death.
This is a big one if your company has a lot of employees. Develop chatbots to answer employee questions and assist with tasks.
Another useful task that you can offload to Gemini is the production of training documents and presentations based on existing content.
Many projects seem to always take longer than expected, but at least you have someone else to blame when you use Gemini’s predictive analytics to manage and adjust your project timelines.
If you’re like most of us, digging into research papers is not the highlight of your day. Gemini can help you summarize scientific papers or other dense material quickly for easy review.
For those of us who are clueless about cybersecurity, Gemini can be a great tool to use when you want to identify and mitigate potential security threats.
You might not have time to write all those FAQ (frequently asked questions) documents, especially if you do a lot of copywriting or content generation. Gemini is a great asset for automatically compiling frequently asked questions and their answers.
If you don’t know your way around automation scripts, or just don’t feel like putting in the time and effort, you can use Gemini to create scripts to automate your routine tasks and workflows.
This is a big one if you are someone who works with a lot of data. Gemini can take some of the pressure off of building dynamic dashboards to visualize data interactively.
You don’t always need to hire a human consultant. Instead, you can turn to Gemini to identify and predict potential risks in projects using AI.
If your customer base is rapidly growing, you’ll often find that your time to onboard all of them personally is rapidly shrinking. You can use Gemini to streamline the onboarding process for new customers with automated steps.
Generating newsletters tailored to individual subscriber preferences can take a ton of time to do manually, but Gemini is great at speeding up the process.
Automatically draft onboarding documents for new hires based on standard templates and inputs. Be sure to fine-tune the content to match with your organization’s unique policies, though.
Gemini most likely knows more languages than you do. So why not put it to work to provide immediate feedback and corrections for language learners?
Another benefit of generative AI is the instant creation of ideas — invaluable when you want to improve team collaboration with insights and suggestions from AI.
If your company has a lot of open positions to fill, then making out job descriptions is a pain. Gemini can help you automatically create detailed job descriptions based on role requirements and company standards.
Generative AI can help your marketing team generate a first draft of blog posts, articles, and social media posts. See how the Promevo Marketing team makes use of Gemini here.
Speaking of marketing content, you can also use Gemini for Google Workspace to draft video scripts and ideas. Whether you need a product promo or a welcome video for new hires, Gemini can help you get started more effectively.
Do you use Google Sheets to manage your business’s inventory? Try using Gemini to take your spreadsheets to the next level and more accurately forecast your inventory needs — without having to add in complex formulas yourself.
Do you ever feel like your technical and non-technical colleagues are all speaking different languages? Gemini can help your teams communicate more effectively via email by summarizing all of the key points and helping everyone focus on what matters, rather than getting lost in the weeds.
Does your team ever travel to in-person conferences or meetings? Gemini for Google Workspace can help you generate budgets for your trip in Sheets, so you can easily track and manage all your expenses. One of our Cloud Sales Specialists demonstrates how to generate this kind of spreadsheet here.
Try using Gemini to create compelling scenarios or fun team building exercises that teams can discuss and work through together.
Unfortunately, spell check doesn’t catch everything. Input your writing into Gemini and it can help you check grammar, spelling, and punctuation.
Gemini for Google Workspace can help you generate interesting, relevant interview questions for new hires, subject matter experts, prospects, and more.
Did you know you could use the Gemini chat feature to locate relevant training materials and further your skills across a variety of topics?
Gemini can help you elevate your coding game — whether you have prior experience or not. Use it to generate code snippets and troubleshoot website issues.
Having trouble engaging with your prospects? Use Gemini to craft persuasive call scripts, pitches, talk tracks, and more.
Generative AI is here to stay, so getting a handle on how you can leverage Gemini for Google Workspace is paramount. These ideas are just the tip of the iceberg and should give you a good place to start when it comes to using AI in your own organization.
