Beyond the Chatbot: Mastering Gemini for Business Growth

Did you know you might already be paying for one of the most powerful AI tools on the market without even realizing it?

If your business uses Google Workspace, you already have access to Google Gemini. Yet, many business owners and operators are leaving this incredible productivity booster completely untapped, using it as just a simple chatbot rather than an operational powerhouse.

It’s time to change that. Join the Community Innovations Foundation—a local nonprofit dedicated to helping communities understand and confidently use AI—for an interactive workshop designed to demystify Gemini for local businesses.

In this exclusive session led by Iris Ma (PhD, UC Irvine and Applied Research Scientist at Thomson Reuters), our goal is to help you extract immediate, actionable value from the tools already at your fingertips. This isn't just another lecture where you sit and listen; you will be rolling up your sleeves and trying it out yourself. We will guide you step-by-step so you can replicate the workshop contents and immediately apply them to your daily business workflows.
