Glide into new semester with Gemini in Google Workspace: 7 cool hacks

Going back to school can be both overwhelming and fun. Here’s how the combo of Gemini and Google Workspace makes life easy and exciting for students:

  • Turn messy notes into full-fledged study guides

Do not waste time going through raw, confusing notes manually. Instead, upload your notes in Docs. With the help of the Ask Gemini side panel, add a prompt instructing AI to summarize the notes and organize them in bulleted points. You can also instruct Gemini to generate potential questions for self-evaluation.

  • Take notes without missing out on GDs

You can either take notes or participate actively in discussions. Gemini will change this perception for good. With Gemini in Google Meet, it is now possible to take notes of all the key decisions, major action items, and add screenshots to a dedicated Google Doc, while you can simply focus on your discussion.

By clicking on the pencil icon during a Google Meet, you can instruct Gemini to take notes and summarize the entire session.

  • Impress professors with effortless presentations

Say NO to boring and time-consuming presentations. Gemini works wonders with Google Slides and helps you convert any essay, research paper, or entire syllabus into sleek, organized, and engaging presentation decks.

All you need to do is enter a prompt explaining your exact requirements and expectations. Feel free to share one of your favorite presentations with Gemini for style reference.

  • Prep better for exams with customized quizzes

Mock exams are the best way to evaluate your syllabus preparation. Gemini in Google Forms helps you generate multiple sample questions with answer keys in no time. 

Go to the “Help me create” option in Google Forms and add the suitable prompt, for instance, “Create a 7- question multiple-choice practice quiz to assess my knowledge of Data Analytics. Make sure correct answers are provided so that I can grade myself once I’m done with the assessment.”

  • Keep your inbox clutter-free 

Your email inbox can look like a disaster with all the incoming updates around syllabus, assignments, important announcements, and newsletters. Gmail comes with the AI inbox feature that enables you to keep a tab on deadlines, to-do lists, and major activities.

You are required to have a participating AI subscription in a specific region to use this feature.

  • Create easy, engaging, and fun videos

With Google Vids, you can easily create and edit videos for projects and entertainment-based usage. Simply open “Create AI video” in Google Vids and upload one of your high-quality, clear pictures. Use the right prompt as per your requirement, and you are good to go.

  • Plan your entire semester in advance

Use Sheets Canvas to convert the boring spreadsheet into a highly interactive, fully customized personal app to help you keep a tab on classes, assignments, exams, and extracurricular activities.

Smart work, and not hard work, is the key to a great semester. Stay sorted with these amazing Gemini in Workspace features with a free-of-cost (first-year) student-based subscription.
