In this video, I'll show you how to use Google Gemini step-by-step so you can write,

analyze files, and create content with AI.

Gemini is Google's AI assistant,

but what makes it different is it's already connected to your Google apps like Gmail,

Docs, and Drive, so you can actually work with your real data.

I'm Kevin, and let's dive in.

Let's start with the basics.

To follow along, just go to gemini.google.com and sign in with your Google account.

Once you're here, you'll see the main prompt box where you can ask anything.

You can upload files or you can even pull in content from Google Drive since everything is already connected.

Let's try it out.

I run a small business called The Kevin Cookie Company and we're launching a new oatmeal raisin cookie.

Here in the prompt box,

I'll type in, write an email announcing our new oatmeal raisin cookie,

keep it friendly and exciting.

Once you enter in your prompt,

right over here, let's press this button to run it.

And just like that, Gemini generates a full draft and even prepares it directly as an email.

This is where Gemini really stands out.

Since it's connected to apps like Gmail,

it can take what you generate and plug it directly into your workflow.

Now, in this case, it's already filled in the recipients.

Here we have the subject line and I have the body or the message all created for me.

Now, before sending anything, it's always a good idea to review all the text and make any necessary edits.

Now I could edit directly in here.

For example, let me add one more line to the end of this email.

Or right down below, I could also edit in Gmail to make changes.

And of course, if I want to refine further,

down here, I could continue prompting to,

let's say, make it shorter,

change the tone, or maybe adjust the format.

One of the biggest things to know is you don't need the perfect prompt.

start with something simple, then refine it until it's exactly what you want.

Next, let's look at Canvas,

where you can prompt while working side by side with your content.

First, let's open up a new chat in the top left-hand corner.

I'll click on this icon.

Right down here in the prompt box,

let's click on the plus icon,

and right here, let's select Canvas.

And then I'll enter in my prompt.

Write a short blog post announcing our new oatmeal raisin cookie.

Then let's run that.

This opens up Canvas.

It's a side-by-side workspace.

Over on the right-hand side,

I can edit this document directly.

And over on the left-hand side, I have my chat.

And then I also have the prompt box where I can make broader changes.

Now, looking at this blog post,

I noticed that we don't actually call out that we use organic ingredients.

And we charge a lot,

so we should probably call that out.

So down below in the prompt box,

I'll type in, make sure to call out that we only use organic ingredients.

And then let's try running that.

Over on the right-hand side,

it now highlights all of the changes that it made.

Here it calls out 100% certified organic.

And it even added a bullet point calling out that it's purely organic.

Now, if for whatever reason I'd like to revert back to a previous version,

right up on top, I have that option.

Now, over on the right-hand side,

we also have a few other neat options.

Right here, I could change the length of this document.

I could click there.

We can make it shorter or we can make it longer.

And I also have the option to change the tone.

Now, one of my favorite features,

I could highlight a section of this document.

And then I have the option to ask Gemini.

So, let's say for this intro,

I'd like to rewrite it to maybe be a little bit more playful.

Now, let's try running that.

And now it rewrites just that one individual section.

So instead of copying this somewhere else and going back and forth,

I can say right here in the canvas and refine everything in just one place.

Next, let's look at how you could work with files in Google Gemini.

Instead of just typing prompts,

you can upload documents and have Gemini analyze them for you.

You can click on this plus icon to upload a file,

or you could pull one directly from Google Drive.

But my preferred method is to just drag and drop it onto this page from your PC.

Over here, I'll upload a sales spreadsheet for our new oatmeal raisin cookies.

Now that I've uploaded the file,

I can ask questions about it.

So let's ask, what do oatmeal raisin cookie sales look like?

Now that I've typed that in, let's run that.

And just like that, it analyzed the data and it even generates a visual.

It looks like we sold about 570 oatmeal raisin cookies.

And looking at this, it's been steadily increasing over time.

Now, this is a quick way to go from just raw data to actual insights.

I have a meeting coming up with my manager,

Patty, to share this data,

but I don't quite remember when it is.

Let's use Gemini.

Down below in the prompt field,

type in the at symbol,

and here you'll see all of your different connected apps.

100

As an example, we have Calendar,

101

Keep, Gmail, and we have more.

102

Now, that's one of the great things about Gemini.

103

It's already connected to all of your Google apps.

104

At the top, let's select Google Calendar,

105

and then let's type in a prompt.

106

I'll enter in when is my meeting with Patty to check on the sales for the oatmeal raisin cookies.

107

And over here, let's run that.

108

And just like that, Gemini finds the event and tells me exactly when it's scheduled.

109

This way, I don't have to dig through my calendar.

110

I just ask and I get the answer instantly.

111

The only downside is who schedules meetings this early in the morning?

112

So far, we've been using Gemini directly in the Gemini app,

113

but Google has also built Gemini right into apps like Gmail, Docs, and sheets.

114

Here in Gmail, I could enter in a forward slash or down at the bottom,

115

I could click on the Gemini icon to help me draft a message.

116

Let's write a message to Patty,

117

letting her know about the oatmeal raisin cookie sales.

118

Then over here, I'll click on create.

119

Now Gemini will draft a message for me.

120

Overall, this looks good.

121

Down below, I can now insert this into my message.

122

There are also a number of other AI features built directly into Gmail.

123

I've included a separate video right down below that walks through all of them in more detail.

124

Now, here in Google Docs,

125

you'll also see Gemini built directly into the document right down here at the bottom.

126

Let's try entering in a prompt,

127

write a newsletter announcing the new Kevin Cookie Company oatmeal raisin cookies,

128

and then let's do that.

129

Gemini will now generate a first draft,

130

and it just takes a few seconds.

131

And there we go.

132

And just like we saw on Canvas,

133

over here, I can also highlight text,

134

and then I can ask Gemini to refine,

135

rewrite, or shorten the text.

136

Now, over here in Google Sheets,

137

up on the top toolbar,

138

there's a dedicated Gemini menu where you can analyze data,

139

generate charts, create pivot tables,

140

or down below, you can even just ask anything about your spreadsheet data.

141

So that's Gemini built directly into the Google apps.

142

Now, let's jump back over to the main Gemini app and look at another capability, image generation.

143

Instead of just generating text,

144

you can also describe what you want and have Gemini create an image for you.

145

Right down below, I'll type in my prompt,

146

create an image of a plate of oatmeal raisin cookies on a wooden table with warm lighting and a cozy bakery feel.

147

Then let's run that.

148

Those look delicious.

149

Although here I see a coffee cup.

150

I'm not much of a coffee drinker,

151

but I do enjoy my milk.

152

So down below, we can continue refining this image.

153

Let's see if we could swap that out for a glass of milk,

154

and then let's run that.

155

And there we go, right there.

156

Along with generating images, if you click on the plus icon,

157

you can also use Gemini to create video.

158

And if I click on more tools,

159

here, a new one, you could even have it create music.

160

That's a fun one.

161

Next, let's look at how you can get back to everything you've created in Google Gemini.

162

In the top left-hand corner,

163

click on the Gemini logo to open up the sidebar.

164

And here you'll see all of your recent chats.

165

If you have a lot of conversations like me,

166

right here, you can use search to quickly find what you're looking for.

167

You'll also see what's called the library.

168

Now click on this.

169

This is where all of your documents,

170

canvases, and generated media live.

171

There's that image of the oatmeal raisin cookies that we just generated.

172

This makes it easy to stay organized and pick up your work at any time.

173

As you use Gemini, you'll probably end up with lots and lots of chats.

174

To help keep everything organized,

175

you can group related chats together using something called a notebook.

176

Let's create a new notebook.

177

Over on the left-hand side,

178

I'll click on New Notebook,

179

and right here, let's click on Get Started.

180

Now, I need to give my notebook a name.

181

I'll call this the Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Launch,

182

and then here, let's click on Go.

183

Over on the left-hand side,

184

you can now see that I have a new notebook.

185

Now, as a first step,

186

we can add sources to this notebook.

187

I'll click here.

188

And here, you can upload files,

189

you can add from Drive,

190

you can add websites, or you can even add copied text.

191

Here, I'll close out of this view.

192

Over on the left-hand side,

193

you can also add existing chats to this notebook.

194

Here, I'll take a few of our chats related to this launch.

195

So I'll click on the three dots here,

196

and let's add it to a notebook.

197

I'll select the oatmeal raisin cookie launch.

198

I'll select that, and let me also add this in.

199

Here, I'll add that to the notebook.

200

And here, I can see the chats show up.

201

The nice thing about notebooks is that Gemini can now answer questions across all of the connected sources and the chats.

202

Let's try an example right here.

203

I'll click on Ask Gemini and let's ask how many cookies did we sell?

204

Now that answer is in one of my chats.

205

Let's try running that.

206

And there it is.

207

It tells me 570 units,

208

which is the same number that we saw earlier.

209

Now let's click back into the main notebook view.

210

Over on the left-hand side,

211

I'll click back into this.

212

And at the top, we have something called Notebook LM.

213

This gives even more advanced notebook functionality.

214

Let's click on that.

215

This drops us into Notebook LM,

216

and not only can you ask questions across your sources and chats,

217

just like we saw in the previous view,

218

but you also get some additional functionality.

219

As an example, you can generate an audio overview,

220

a slide deck, a video overview,

221

a mind map, and many other items.

222

Now, Notebook LM is especially useful

223

when you want AI to work from your own files instead of just the general web information.

224

All right, hopefully this gives you a good foundation for getting started with Google Gemini.

225

If you want to dive deeper,

226

check out the playlist linked in the description and also as a pinned comment right down below.

227

Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
