Frequently Asked Questions

Is this course affiliated with Google?

No. This is an independent course from AI for Business and Life, part of SS Coaching, LLC. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Google. Gemini, Google Workspace and related names are trademarks of Google LLC.

Do I need a paid Google plan?

No, but you will get more from the course with one. Lesson 1.1 maps which features come with free personal accounts, Google AI Plus, Pro and Ultra, and Workspace Business Starter, Standard and Plus, so you can see exactly what you have before deciding.

I use Business Starter. Is this still useful?

Yes, partly. Business Starter includes the Gemini app, Gems, Gemini in Gmail and Vids, and basic Gemini Notebook, so Modules 1, 4 and 5 and the Gmail lesson apply fully. Gemini in Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drive and Meet requires Business Standard or Plus.

Google changes Gemini constantly. Will this go out of date?

Some details will. Features were verified against Google's help pages in October 2026, and the course teaches the method (right surface, clear brief, real sources, verification) which stays useful as features change. Lessons flag known changes, such as Gems moving to skills.

Is it safe to put company data into Gemini?

It depends on your account and license. Module 5 explains the difference between personal and Workspace accounts, how to check your access level, and which admin settings to configure. When in doubt, ask your administrator before entering sensitive data.

Does this course promise time savings?

No course can promise results. You will get workflows and a simple time log so you can measure what Gemini saves you in your own work and keep only what genuinely helps.

Who is this course NOT for?

It is not for developers who want the Gemini API, Google AI Studio or Vertex AI; the course covers Gemini for everyday business work. It is not for anyone looking for a promise of income or time savings. And if your organization does not use Google Workspace and you have no Google AI plan, Module 2's in-app lessons will mostly show features you cannot use yet, so check Lesson 1.1's plan map first.

What will I have done after the first 15 minutes?

In Lesson 1 you run one copy-ready prompt in the Gemini app that turns a messy task from your week into a step-by-step plan with a first draft, and you complete a 3-minute check of which Gemini features your account actually has.
