Gemini is Google’s AI assistant, built into Gmail, Docs and Sheets. These 3 free modules teach it by building real projects, not by reading about features: Gemini in Gmail: Summarize a Thread and Draft the Reply, ChatGPT Projects vs Gemini Gems vs Gemini Notebook: Which to Use and Same Task, Four Assistants: ChatGPT vs Claude vs Gemini vs Copilot.

The Gemini modules cover Gemini for Google Workspace and AI Basics. Every module runs in a practice copy of Gemini, so you can learn it without an account, then set it up for real.
