Avoid Falling Behind: Master Google Gemini Now

hi I'm Jamie and welcome to teachers Tech today I  want to show you how to use Google Gemini if you   work in the Google environment this is something  you need to learn before you fall behind I want   to show you in three different types of accounts  how to use Gemini I'm going to show in my personal   account that I have upgraded with Gemini Advanced  I want to show you in my Google workspace for   business account to see what all the options are  there and I also want to show you just the free   account of all the things that you can do and is  it even worth it upgrading to pay for it when you   can do all this for free so these are the things  I want to show you today on teachers [Music] Tech   when I'm showing you how Gemini works today I'm  going to be showing you out of my personal account   that has the upgraded to Gemini Advanced the  reason I'm doing this is because it has all the   options I'll let you know if it's not available  in one of the other ones if you are using the   free one you'll probably notice that there's a  link to bring you to this page to upgrade to the   advanced one this is what I'm doing right here  I'm just trying this for free for two months to   see if I like it very similar how you have to pay  for chat gp4 or Co co-pilot for the upgrades now   the difference is between the free and the paid  for version here notice mine is $26.99 Canadian   how much is that us I'm not even sure is that $1  199.99 let me know I'm just curious about that   down below in the comments now I the big thing  here that you do have the latest uh technology   when it comes to AI with using this one and uh if  we move down here this is embedded into your Gmail   docs sheets slides and meet and I am going to show  you how how to use Gemini in those as well in this   video here I am in my Gemini Advance this is the  1.0 Ultra up at the top you can see where it says   it I can actually switch back to the 1.0 Pro if I  wanted to but since I'm paying for it that doesn't   make much sense now the first thing that I want  to show you is down in settings right here so if   I go ahead and click on this if you don't want to  have dark theme like I have you can go and toggle   it on and off now I keep my real time responses  on and this is on by default extensions is an   important part here and that's why I'm showing you  from this account because currently in my business   work account it's not there so what I mean by  that is if I go over so this is my Gemini for   teachers Tech this is a business account that I  paid for if I check my extension under settings   notice that it says coming soon and the extensions  are an important part of Gemini that connects to   your Google drive to your Gmail just to make  everything more powerful so when it comes on   everything I'm showing you from my other account  here will be applicable and that's why I'm working   from this one here so I'm going to go ahead  and click extensions because I want to make   sure you have it turned on the way you want now  these top ones I actually have them toggled off   you can see how they're toggled to the gray  and I'm not going to be using them you can   see what they'll do and it's just about using the  at symbol and then it's going to pop up but we'll   come back to that in a moment I want to make sure  I have my Google workspace on and YouTube because   with Google workspace here I'm going to be able  to find location of files ask it to sum up docs   break things down and with the YouTube One on I  can actually put a YouTube link of a video and it   can sum up that video and I'll show you how that's  done a little bit later too but let's go back now   and we're going to go and create our first prompt  I do want to point out these extensions here are   available in the free one so this will work what  I show you in there now let's go and start a new   chat just by clicking here so down at the bottom  here we're going to enter a prompt but before we   write anything we're going to take a look at the  different connections we have with the extensions   so I'm just going to go and put the at symbol and  notice I have Gmail Google Docs drive and YouTube   YouTube here these other ones are disabled like I  showed you when I went through them now I'm just   going to pick Gmail to begin with and I'm going  to go through a few different examples I'm going   to go and say I wanted to uh find all the emails  that are utility bill in the last year now if I go   ahead and submit this it's going to go through all  of my emails and in the last year find any utility   bill and what I like about this it will kind of  give me a brief summary but then it's also going   to connect all those individual emails that I can  open up uh just by clicking so here we go right   here it went through showed me the last year of  different bills that I have that are utility ones   and then it shows me it's coming from Gmail if I  click on any of these These are going to open up   that individual email in a new tab so this makes  a lot easier searching in here than in your Gmail   because you can have a conversation when you're  when you're trying to find a certain email in it   I do want to point out a couple of features and  I'm I'm going to come back to different ones you   do have listen here so if I click listen in the  last year you have received two emails that are   utility build it will read it to me and I find  the way it reads it doesn't have a that fake AI   sounding voice it actually has quite a nice voice  to it now let's try something else so let's try   this as a prompt let's go back using our at and  this time we'll do Google Drive let ask ask this   question so can you find me all documents that  mention academic indicators in PDF format let's   go ahead and submit this now it goes through  my Google Drive finds the different documents   that I'm looking for and shows me that they're in  PDF here and again I can click on them right here   and it's going to open up in a new tab let's  try this now I'm going to go ahead and create   new chat when I do this I can always go back to  previous chats here as well I'm going to search   for a file I want to get a summation of a certain  file I wrote but I can't remember the exact name   so I'm going to use the at Google Drive and I'll  say find a file about Football let's say I know   I wrote one I don't remember the title but I know  it has football in it I'm going to hit submit it   went through and found this document right here  called the National Football League so what I   can do now is if I go down to the prompt and this  time I'm going to say at Google Docs and I'm just   going to paste in this prompt Give me a summary in  five brief points that I wrote about the National   Football League I want to point out here if you  look at the National Football League notice I   have it in quotations here because that refers to  the exact file the exact name over here let's go   ahead and submit this and there we go it took five  different points precise points that it pulled out   of the document I still have it linked here now  what can I do with this I could copy paste this   out of here but what I I like here at the very  bottom with sharing notice if I click on share   and Export I can export to this to a brand new  Google Docs or into an email draft in Gmail that   I could quickly send to somebody here's a tip  about how to use Google Gemini you're going to   love this one so I'm just going to enter a new  prompt little differently this time I'm going   to go and I already did a search about graph and  education and health so here's a graph haven't   really even looked at it here but I'm just going  to go ahead and uh right click on this copy the   image go back over here and paste it in now the  other thing I want to point out is there's the   use the microphone I'm going to ask it to do  something for me can you sum up this graph for   me and let me know what it's about and let's go  ahead and send this now take a look at this so   just from a copy and a paste of that graph into  it spoke in asking it for a summation it gave me   some information here now I could have been more  precise with my prompt on this but I just wanted   to show you the ease of this now do remember when  you go ahead and ask this different questions   there's going to be show different drafts now I  can pick a different draft and this is going to   come up in all your different prompts as well so  if I pick let's say a different draft it's going   to go and give me different information on this  so I just want you to be aware of this but don't   forget about you can keep asking it go further  into it as you read the information how can you   have that conversation with it to get more precise  with exactly what you're looking for so how could   you use Gemini to help you research maybe it's  about summing up articles whether it be online   on a website or PDFs so let's try this in a new  chat I'm going to ask a Gemini this so I want to   know what type of prompts can I use in Gemini that  will help me summarize articles and remember you   can ask Gemini for help like this to understand  how your prompts should be created so if I go   ahead and submit this Gemini gives me ideas on  how I could ask it starts with the basic summarize   this article for me but then it starts to give  me a little bit more do I want to emphasize any   key points do I have a specific angle that I want  to look at this do we have advanced prompts so if   you're learning how to create these prompts you  can ask Gemini to help you out with this what I   would suggest is when you're starting with your  prompts start simple layer it in and then get   more specific as you go along and remember to  have that conversation now let's apply this and   for this I'm just going to keep things very simple  I'm just going to be asking you to summarize some   articles for me and I have some examples here's  just from a website here we have an article that   I want to get a summation of so what I can do  is I can take the URL from here I'm just going   to go control C go back to Gemini and ask it to  sum it up so I'm just going to keep this simple   and I'll say sum it up and I'll put a paste that  in and it's going to go through and sum up that   article that I just connected it to so here is the  short summary of that article here with the link   to this one as well now remember we can quickly  share and Export this if you wanted to email this   or put it in Google Docs if I have a PDF like this  one and notice this PDF is is online so I can go   ahead and take the URL from this one go back to  Gemini do uh the same thing I'll just say sum it   up and paste the URL of that PDF in and it will  go through that pdf online and give me a summary   or what I ask from it now what happens if your PDF  is on your computer notice there's not a place to   upload this PDF in Gemini so what you can do is if  you have a PDF on your computer you could upload   it to Google Drive now I could take the link from  this and if I am going to take the link if I was   going to go and share and copy the link I have to  make sure that I would give Gemini edit access on   that document but the other way once it's uploaded  to Google Drive remember I can go ahead go to my   Google Drive and find you know I'll say find an  article on AI and it will look through my drive   and find that article and then I can ask it to sum  it up from here so now it gave me a little bit of   information here but I can also get more exact  in the type of prompt that I want to ask it to   give me more here's another fantastic feature in  Gemini this time I'm going to summarize a video   from YouTube and then I'm going to make a quiz  from it watch this so I'm just going to go over   to my YouTube channel here and I'm going to go  to this video this don't miss out on Microsoft   365 co-pilot features so if you want to compare  co-pilot to Gemini go check out this video but I'm   going to go and take this link so I'm just going  to rightclick copy link and I'm going to go back   to Gemini this time I'm going to use the at I'm  going to say at YouTube and I'll paste this link   in and I'm going to say please summarize just like  that so it will go through and give me a summary   of the video and I know as I go through it I'll  be able to check how accurate it is so now taking   a glance through the different parts of the video  since I made it I know what's in it and it looks   like it did pull out the key points from each  one this was about a 20 minute video there uh   and this looked like it did a good job remember  what I can do is show different drafts also to   get different ones it will go through and give me  more options where I can regenerate it but what I   want to show right now if I go now from a video  and I'm going to ask can you make a quiz out of   this so just with that question and remembering  if I was getting more exact on the prompt I could   direct it towards a certain age group and what  type of questions uh but as I look through the   first time you can see that it's make giving me a  multiple choice but it took that information from   summarizing up that video and now made a quiz from  it with the answer key down below whenever you see   this down here you can modify your response so if  I go ahead and click on it do we want this shorter   longer simpler more casual more professional and  and it will rewrite it based on those as you go   through and create more and more prompts you're  going to find that this list gets quite long now   you might get some of these that you want to make  sure that you remember and you don't want to have   to go through the whole list you can pin them so  if I said if this was a really good one here if   I click on the ellipses and go pin and now it's  going to pin this chat I'll click pin and it puts   it to the top and you can see the pins right there  so I can put my best ones at the top that I can go   back to again and again another way what I can  do with any of these different prompts as I go   through I can actually share them on a page that  Gemini will create so if I notice I talked about   draft an email and docs if I click share here so  I can create a public page to share so this prompt   and responses so are the entire chat and I can  go and create that public link then if I go back   over to my settings you notice your public links  are right here so this is where that you would be   able to find them before I jump over into the  apps and show you how Gemini Works within the   Google apps I want to do one more thing and I'm  going to give a detailed prompt here so I'm just   going to paste this in and this detailed prompt is  going to be be about writing an insightful essay   on the impact of technology now with this prompt  it's structured in a clear intro body conclusion   it has uh specifics but the need of balance in  discussion and examples and so it goes through and   gets really detailed and as you get more detailed  in your prompts you're going to get better output   but again you can start simple and add to it so  let's go ahead and just submit this so we have   this that it wrote and as I just skimmed through  it it looks like it did pull in the information   that from The Prompt that I was asking for and  what I want to point out is this right here this   double check response so I'm just going to go  ahead and click on it now what I want to see is   green so green is showing that it is uh probably  correct so if I go and just expand this it will   show me that work from home technology and power  rope remote and it has all the connections to it   and it shows me where it's coming from but with  some of these other colors I'm going to expanded   here so Google search didn't find relevant content  so consider reaching the researching this further   so it goes through and it will check uh the paper  that it wrote and let you know of how it's looking   with what it found I just want to bring attention  to the prompts that they have up here I'm going to   go ahead and select this one walk me through  solving a problem so if I click on this here   the prompts down below it shows me where I just  could change a few of these words to get it to   be exactly the problem that I want to solve so as  you go through and as they get put up here take a   look at them and how they're uh creating them and  how you would just change them to work for you and   the more you practice uh looking at them this way  then your prompt writing gets better and better   as well I don't want you to forget that you can  create images within Gemini so if I was going to   go and prompt it here create me a powerful prompt  for creating an image in Gemini showing a scorpion   in the desert now the reason I'm asking it for  the prompt because it will go through and give   me ideas of how to emphasize different things so  notice in this first one a colossal scorpion uh   Piner gleaming in the Moonlight uh you can get  different options here so if I was going to say   and I'm just going to pick this one as an example  and I'm going to copy it and I'll say create an   image of and I'm going to go and paste it down  here now it's going to go and create that image   for me so here's the image that it came I can go  through and generate more if I select on any of   these I can go through the download buttons right  up top if you want to download it in full size   but ask Gemini to help you when you're creating  the prompts for the images at this point of the   video I want to leave Gemini here and go into the  individual apps of Google so I want to take a look   at Gmail Google Docs Google Slides Google Sheets  and Google meet so we're going to go through and   look how Gemini is embedded in them now at this  point I want to point out that in the free version   you're not going to have access to Gemini embedded  into these apps but with the business workspace   you're going to have it and if it's turned on  with the school workspace you'll also have it   allowed there so now I'm in Gmail first and this  is where I'm going to start my examples so inside   Gmail if you have Gemini available to you you're  going to find at the very bottom we have help me   WR if you don't see help me WR it's this icon  here if I click it off it goes away click it   on it turns on again so if I click help me right  this is where I'm going to put my prompt so if I   go and I already have one ready I'm going to just  paste this in so I'm going to say please write me   an email to invite people to a party March 17th  2024 remind them we're green bellish how much fun   career advancement starts at 4M and so on so I'm  going to go ahead and hit create now it quickly   goes through puts that information you can see  there's the March 17 2024 it's embellishing it   uh there's the time I mentioned that it's going  to start at uh how it's good for your career now   I have an inserted in yet yeah notice that this  is where I'm going to put my name but I have some   uh different options so notice this is pretty  casual I say hi there but if I wanted to let's   say formalize this if I click formalize notice now  that if I take a look at it it becomes deer and   then I could put the name in but I could go back  I could do shorten if I wanted something very uh   short to the point I can do there but let's go  back to elaborate and you can keep going through   if you don't like what it says you could just hit  recreate recreate now if you get to what you like   you just go ahead and hit insert now I can go  through change this here if I wanted to put my   name and we can quickly have these emails written  now I just want to point out something here I'm   back over in my free account my Gemini account  and I want to show you you can kind of do the   same thing inside here and it we'll go right to  your email so if I was going to use the at and I   use the Gmail because this is the free account I  have those extensions available and I do the same   thing I'm going to say please write me an email  to invite the people it's the same prompt that I   did before and I'm going to send it so it writes  me this prompt and I can do the same thing as I   showed you before we could do different drafts I  could even prompt it to change the tone on it just   by going down here I can modify my responses to be  longer simpler more casual and if I get it the way   I like here all I have to do is share and Export  and I I go over to Gmail open it up and I have   that message right in here so did I gain anything  from being right in my Gmail at this point when   I'm composing it's nice to be within but even  with the free account you're getting the power of   Gemini and connecting it to your Gmail or docs as  well now I've moved over to Google Docs and if you   have Gemini available in it you're going to see  help me write when you create a brand new document   you can also use this to help edit any of the  other documents too so if I go just help me write   and I'm going to put in the same prompt that I did  before uh when I asked it to write the detailed   in cple essay let's see if it does the same for  me inside Google Docs I'm going to go ahead and   hit create so here we have as I go through it's  definitely a different essay but every time I   generate a different prompt it's going to give me  a different one so as I regenerate it will change   now at the very bottom I can go and change the  tone if I'd want so formal or formal or casual   I can summarize it bulleti elaborate shorten just  like I could when I was showing you before let's   go ahead and hit insert so we could also do this  to edit any of the documents that we have so we   could open up a previous document that we  already written and I'll just demo in this   one now if I click somewhere notice I'm going  to get this help me right I'm going to go and   highlight this area here and I'm going to click  the help me write when I do this I can change   the tone for that specific uh that paragraph  so I could go say well you know turn this one casual if I like it I could go ahead and  replace so now this becomes casual I could   take a different paragraph go to it and decide  you know what I want to bulle tize it so if I   go and bulleti it rather than having uh maybe a  paragraph I could replace it so I can go through   and use it to help edit a document I already  did and I can make these changes very quickly   inside Google Docs inside Google Slides you're  going to find Gemini right up here let create an   image with Gemini I actually expected more from  Google Slides I thought we'd be able to put in   a whole prompt and then it'll be able to create  a whole slideshow in uh co-pilot and PowerPoint   I can do that and I would imagine that will come  with Google Slides as this uh advances now right   now all I can do is insert an image so if I go  in here and if I'm just going to take the prompt   that they have so all I'm going to do is hit tab  so now it's a futuristic cityscape I'm going to   go and choose a style so do you want photography  background let's go photography and I'm going to   hit create now we have our results down below I  can pick one if I want so if I pick this picture   it goes and inserts it in so now inside Google  Slides if you need a certain picture you can   prompt it to get created with the AI with Gemini  and then you can insert it right into your Google   slides to find Gemini in Google Sheets what we  need to do is click here help me organize this   will open up the side panel over here so this  is where we're going to create our prompt for   our type of prompts here we don't want to ask it  a question we want to give instructions instead to   get good results now I'm going to give an example  here I'll put in this one tracking task for a   project to build new website I'm going to go ahead  and click create this will go through and it will   give me data inside of this that I can uh change  with my own so now it's giving me a preview it's   not in the sheets yet I have to go down and hit  insert right now I'm just under preview so let's   go ahead and hit insert in and we can see that it  has our task name names as we go through down and   we have we can change what we want is it in Pro  progress to do and it has all these things that we   can go through and just put our own data in so it  makes it really simple based on the instructions   I give it now I do want to point out right here  hopefully this comes out uh sooner but it says it   will help me organize and be able to accurately  edit and analyze content in your spreadsheet   so that'll be nice when it will be able to take  your own data and then you can ask it to create   formulas add more columns and just work with the  data that you have not only just create these   templates here I am in Google meet and I already  have my meeting started so I'm just going to go   ahead to more options here and this is where we're  going to find Gemini apply visual effects so we   can do this by uh generating a background so if I  click generate a background I can go ahead and I'm   going to say a uh an image of a Serene Mountain  here and I'm going to go and pick a style let's   go we'll just keep it in photography and we'll  create our sample so now I have my sample I can   pick what I want and when I select it it goes to  my background so the background generated by AI   the other thing I want going to show you I'm  just going to go back under appear appearance   they have a few more things that you can turn on  or off you have Studio lighting and Studio look   uh just to help uh you can see as it sharpens  the features and everything just to make sure   that you're looking your best when you're on uh  one of these Google meets we've covered a lot of   features in how to use Google Gemini throughout  this video I hope you found this helpful and that   you understand the importance of starting to learn  this and how much time it can save for you thanks   for watching this time on teachers Tech I'll see  you next time with more Tech tips and tutorials
