Advanced Gemini and Workspace Studio Training
Advanced Gemini training for people who already use it every day and are ready to turn it into tools the whole team relies on.
- Half-day session
- In person or remote
- 88% would recommend
10,000+ people trained across 500+ organisations
From personal shortcuts to team tools
Most teams use Gemini as a quick helper inside Gmail and Docs. The bigger step is building things that last: Gems and skills that do a recurring job the same way every time, notebooks that reason across a whole set of documents, and flows in Workspace Studio that keep work moving without you.
This hands-on session is for confident daily users. We build it around your team’s own documents and recurring work, and we spend as much time on checking the output as on producing it, so the tools people build are ones the team can trust.

What your team walks away knowing
Every session is built from scratch around your work, but every session builds the same foundations.
01
Gems and skills built for the team
Designing Gems, and the skills Google is replacing them with, around recurring work, with clear instructions and reference files so everyone gets the same result.
02
Gemini Notebook across whole document sets
Loading a full set of sources into Gemini Notebook, formerly NotebookLM, questioning across all of them and checking every answer against its citation.
03
Deep Research done properly
Editing the research plan before it runs, pointing it at the right Drive folders and web sources, and turning the report into something people will act on.
04
Flows in Workspace Studio
Describing a recurring process in plain English and building it as a flow in Google Workspace Studio, with a person checking anything that leaves the team.
05
Getting the context right
Turning a messy document pack into material Gemini can work with, and asking for quotes before analysis so conclusions stay anchored in the source.
06
Checking before you trust
Running the same check several times independently, comparing the answers and knowing that agreement is not proof.
07
Writing your own quality tests
Having Gemini interview you to write a test for good work, then saving it as a Gem or skill that reviews drafts before they go anywhere.
08
Sheets and Docs with the checks built in
Using Gemini in Sheets and Docs for analysis and drafting, with formulas and sources you can trace rather than numbers you have to take on trust.
The capstone
People finish by building something for their own work: a shared Gem for a recurring job, a notebook over a document set the team keeps asking about, or a Workspace Studio flow that drafts but never sends.

These came out of our workshops. Each one turns a recurring job into a tool the team can reuse, with the checks that make it safe to rely on.
Grounded research code of conduct assistant
An assistant configured with a summary of an institution’s research code of conduct, so staff can ask policy questions and get consistent answers.
AI adoption roadmap from a grounded notebook
A notebook loaded with adoption research and company context that answers only from its sources and returns a 90-day plan with owners, barriers, risk controls and measures.
Scheduled corporate governance digest
A weekly search of named regulator websites for changes to governance codes and listing rules, with what a board has to do about each.

How we build it
Advanced sessions are shaped around one team’s work, so every exercise uses documents and tasks that look like theirs.
01
Customisation Call
A call to understand your team, which Gemini and Workspace features your admins allow, and the work people most want to hand over.
02
Building Tailored Exercises
We build realistic invented files, such as management accounts with planted errors, so people practise on work that looks like theirs without sharing anything confidential.
03
Workshop Delivery
A hands-on session that moves from shared Gems and Gemini Notebook to Deep Research and Workspace Studio flows, ending with a build of their own.
04
Review Call
A follow-up call to see which Gems and notebooks made it into everyday use and what to build next.
What’s included
Delivered in person at your offices, or remotely.
- A customisation call and exercises built around your team’s work
- Realistic practice files, so no confidential material is needed
- A hands-on session with an instructor and a dedicated tutor in the room
- Setup guidance for your Google Workspace admins ahead of the day
- A curated prompt library and cheat sheets
- A follow-up review call
Going further
Going further after the session
Once people are building with Gemini day to day, the next step is turning individual wins into shared ways of working.
- A library of tested Gems the whole team can rely on
- Shared notebooks for the document sets your team keeps returning to
- Clear rules on which data each Gem and notebook can reach
- Redesigning a whole workflow around Gemini rather than one step of it

Frequently asked questions
How is this different from our Gemini training?
Our Gemini training gets a whole team confident with Gemini across Workspace. This session assumes that is done. It moves people on to shared Gems and skills, Gemini Notebook, Deep Research and Workspace Studio flows, and to writing their own tests so they can trust what they build.
Do people need technical skills?
No coding is needed. People should be comfortable using Gemini every day. We send your Workspace admins a short checklist before the session so the right features are switched on. Some, such as Workspace Studio integrations, are off until an admin enables them.
Do we need to share confidential files?
No. We build realistic invented documents and workbooks that look like your team’s work, often with deliberate errors to catch, so nothing sensitive is needed.
Is the training in person or remote?
In person at your offices by default, with an instructor and a dedicated tutor in the room. We can run it remotely if that suits your team better.
Do you run Gemini training courses in London?
Yes. We are based in Covent Garden, London, and run most sessions in person at clients’ offices in London and across the UK. We also work with teams worldwide, from Paris and Berlin to New York and Singapore, and can run sessions remotely when that suits better.
