The complete curriculum for Gemini — across Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Gmail, Slides), in the standalone Gemini app, and through Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM). The integrations Google built into your existing tools.
Google's agent story after May 2026: Gemini Agent (Mariner absorbed), Gems, Deep Research, Gemini Notebook, and the Workspace integrations that actually work.
Drafting, smart replies, summarizing threads, finding key info across your inbox. The Gmail workflow that uses Gemini's context-awareness for real time savings.
Google's June 2026 wave, sorted out honestly: Gemini Omni for video, Deep Think for hard reasoning, and Nano Banana image generation inside Gemini Live. What each is for and which to reach for when.
Google's July 16 rename, honestly split: what's cosmetic (the name) and what's real (a secure cloud computer that runs code on your sources, plus notebooks spreading into the Gemini app and Search).
Google's July 21 release, decoded: 3.6 Flash in the Gemini app now, Flash-Lite heading into Search, a security model you can't have — and the honest read on the missing Pro flagship and the Gemini 4 tease.
Google's July 28 double-drop: Gemini in Docs now generates images, diagrams, and infographics from your document's context, and can summarize, answer, and act on comment threads. The prompts to try and the rollout fine print.
Gemini 3 Pro Image (aka Nano Banana Pro): real text inside images, edit photos from a sentence, Search-grounded accuracy. What it does, what it costs, and how to try it free.
Free, AI Pro, Ultra, and the API — plus what's already bundled with Google One, so you don't end up paying twice.
The "Help me write" workflows, refining drafts, custom tone, generating outlines, fact-checking against your other docs. Real document workflows, not toy examples.
Smart Fill, formula generation, data cleaning, chart creation, analyzing trends. The Sheets workflow that closes the gap with Excel + Copilot.
Gemini in Google Slides: generate decks from Docs, restructure and rewrite slides, generate images in place, and the review pass — the missing piece of the Workspace suite.
Setting up notebooks with source documents, asking questions across PDFs, generating study guides and podcasts. The free Google tool every researcher should know.
Loading entire codebases, long documents, video transcripts. The use cases where Gemini's 1M+ context window genuinely changes what's possible.
Building Gems for specific tasks, integrating with Google Workspace data, sharing with your team. Like Custom GPTs, with Workspace integration.
Setting up Deep Research workflows, refining the research prompt, evaluating the output, citing sources properly. The feature that competes directly with Perplexity.
The I/O 2026 wave: the Daily Brief morning digest, the Gemini Spark personal agent, and the 3.5 Flash/Pro split — what each does and when to use it.
Assembling Gemini's research tools into a single workflow: Deep Research for discovery, Gemini Notebook for source-grounded mastery, long context for synthesis — and the briefs that make it compound.
What the Gemini API means for business users: chat versus pipes, Apps Script and no-code routes inside Google Workspace, cost mechanics, and scoping your first automated workflow.
Governing Gemini across a Google Workspace: sharing hygiene and the oversharing audit, admin controls, data boundaries between consumer and Workspace Gemini, and the two-line team policy.
The Gemini team rollout for Google-first shops: plan and seat strategy, role-based recipes across Gmail/Docs/Sheets/Meet, the one-page policy, and surviving the week-two cliff.
Gemini in Slides for presentations, Meet for live note-taking, mobile workflows, integration with Calendar and Tasks. The advanced curriculum.
In May 2026 Google consolidated its agent story. Project Mariner was retired as a standalone product; its technology now powers Gemini Agent — the unified agentic mode inside the Gemini app.
Gems are Google's answer to Custom GPTs. They're custom Gemini agents with system prompts, instructions, and access to your Workspace data.
Gemini's integration across Google Workspace is broad but uneven. Some apps got real agentic capability; others got 'help me write' buttons that don't change what's possible.
Spark turns Gemini from a chatbot into a worker: Tasks, Skills and Schedules that run multi-step jobs across your Google apps on a schedule. The mental model and the workflows that pay off.
All 25 Gemini lessons are available today — plus every other tool track, the hands-on builds, and the playground. Founding pricing — $9/mo Pro, $19/mo Pro+ — locks your rate for life: the price you join at never goes up.
