Gemini as a personal assistant

“

- [James] So coming in, we're going to create a new chat and let's start to see the power of Gemini. First up we're going to summarize some events that we have in our calendar, and I've got a prompt here ready and waiting for us. Like you saw with the extensions to access those extensions, and if you only wanted to be chatting to the extension, you would use the at symbol. This thing gives you all of the options to be able to start the prompt process and start chatting with each of these apps from Google. Here we're going to be looking at the calendar, and from here you can start to give contextually relevant prompts for your Google calendar. I'm going to do a simple one and find a summary of all events for this week. I'm going to run that and Google goes behind the scenes and it's found all of the events that are on my calendar at the moment, and as you can see there, it's given a brief summary. So this would be great if you wanted to just have a look and see what's coming up for the week ahead. You could get a a bird's eye view and maybe start to prepare and use that information to just get more organized. Then taking it a step further, you can schedule a meeting from here. If you know that you have a meeting and you want to put it in your calendar right from Google Gemini, you're able to do that. Here, we're going to be doing that using plain language. You're able to say, I want to schedule a meeting and giving the relevant information next Monday, 4:00 PM and then giving the subject or the details of the event, that is all that's needed. And from there, Google has all the information it needs and there is just created the event. We can undo that if we need to, but there it's all ready inside of our calendar. Moving on to Gmail now, this is where we can start to interact with Gmail and our emails. I've got a prompt here and I'm going to ask Gmail, using the at symbol and giving a very brief prompt asking it to summarize today's unread emails. It'll then look at the emails and be able to give a response. Okay, so it's found seven unread emails, and this seems to be a very brief summary of all of those emails, which is really nifty. So you can also for the day ahead, get a summary of everything that you need to look at.
