There are hundreds of ways that Gemini for Google Workspace can supercharge your business. From project planning to marketing to reporting, it makes everything you do easier and frees up your time for more complex tasks. But as with any new technology, it takes training and showing your employees what it can do to get them excited.
For just a small additional charge per user, Google's AI assistant goes beyond other Generative AI tools, such as ChatGPT, by allowing native use of the tool from within any Google app. If you want a presentation proofread, just ask Gemini to do it while you're in Slides. Want an email to sound pitch-perfect for a client? Ask Gemini to polish it for you in Gmail. There's no limit to how much Gemini can help save your workforce time they can use for more growth-oriented tasks.
Enlist your AI champions
Adoption starts at the top. Google recommends getting your C-suite on board before anyone else, and this won't be hard once they see the business case for Gemini. From there, pick a respected manager or employee from each department to be the resident AI champion for their team.
Once you've done that, create a Google Chat space or a Slack channel specifically for questions about Gemini, and have your AI champions answer questions as they come up.
Attache, an UpCurve Cloud client, is a prime example of leadership driving the organization's adoption of Gemini for Workspace. Tim Touchette, the owner, challenged his staff to develop a new use for the technology in weekly meetings. With persistent use of Gemini, Attache was able to improve communications with its clients, accelerate its marketing strategy, and much more.
Drill down on benefits for each department
We're all so used to hearing how AI makes our work lives easier that it's just background noise at this point. If you want to excite someone, show them how it will directly affect their role. Google has training available for Gemini for Workspace for sales, marketing, and human resources. Encourage each department to go through the appropriate training. They'll learn prompt engineering and how Gemini can make a difference for them.
For all other roles, Google has guides to the kinds of prompts they'll want to use in specific apps to get the results they're looking for.
Overcoming AI objections
There are some people who fear AI because they think it will replace their jobs. Nothing could be further from the truth - all low-level jobs that require little to no input from a human have already been automated or outsourced in most organizations. Everyone who is in their job now is there because they are great at what they do, and AI is just a tool to help them do their job better. If you notice that certain users are still resistant to the technology after all of the training and hype, see what additional reassurances and training they need.
