4.8648 ratings at Coursera

Overview

Spending too much time writing, editing and refining your communications? In this course, you’ll learn how to use AI as your writing partner to turn rough notes into polished messages that achieve greater clarity and influence at work. You'll start by using Gemini in Google Meet to transform raw transcripts into organized reports. Next, you'll enhance your work by prompting Gemini to provide feedback from different perspectives. Finally, save time by using Gemini Canvas to adapt your writing for various groups and Gemini Live to practice your talking points.

By the end of this course, you will create:

• An action plan: Use Gemini in Meet to capture meeting notes and key decisions, then transform them into a shareable report with clear next steps.

• A stakeholder cheat sheet: Prompt Gemini to simulate a stakeholder’s perspective to help you identify gaps in your work and prepare for high-stakes reviews.

• Tailored communications: Use Gemini Canvas to quickly transform one document into multiple formats, such as a formal memo for leadership and a brief update for your team.

• A polished pitch: Practice your talking points with Gemini Live to get instant feedback and improve your delivery for important conversations, like a sales pitch or formal feedback.
