About this Sprint

Gemini already sits in a panel in the corner of your screen. Most people never open it.

We cover the sidebar where you work, Deep Research, and Gems, a reusable assistant.

Plus how a personal account differs from a Workspace one, and what your employer sees.

Questions

Do I need a paid Workspace plan?

No. Much of this works on a free Google account.

Is this the same as NotebookLM?

No. NotebookLM answers from your documents. Gemini works across your tools.

I use Microsoft, not Google.

Take ChatGPT, Inside Out instead.

Is two hours really enough?

For one tool, yes. That is why there are nine(9) courses.

Do I need a technical background?

None. If you can use email and a browser, you can do this.

Do I need a paid subscription?

No. Everything is taught on free accounts.

What if I cannot make my session?

You keep your recording, and we move you once, free.

Will my class run if numbers are low?

Yes. It runs even if you are the only person booked.

Can I attend from outside Ghana?

Yes. Checkout shows your own currency.

Can you run this for my team?

Yes. Up to thirty people, any course. Contact us for the rate.

Do I get a certificate?

Yes, within 48 hours.

How is this different from a video?

A video cannot set up your account, or help when something breaks.
