What you'll walk away with

By the end of the course, you'll know what Gemini does well inside Docs/Sheets/Gmail, where to apply AI first in your business, and how to talk about AI without sounding like an idiot to your team.

The idea
You don't need a paid course to learn AI for your business. Google's "AI for Small Businesses" track is free, well-paced, and built for owners. It covers foundations: what AI is good at, how to use Gemini inside Workspace, and where to apply it first.
The win: a 3-hour investment that pays back the first week you apply one workflow.
