Google Gemini for Beginners: Start with a Useful Task
Product details checked: 4 October 2026

Prompt
Using only these workshop notes [notes], create a half-day agenda for six people. Ask up to three essential questions first. Then return time, topic, purpose, and preparation owner. Mark unconfirmed information clearly.

Review
- The agenda fits the actual time available.
- Unknown arrangements are clearly identified.
- No invented names, bookings, or commitments appear.

Practice
Change the workshop example to a two-hour session with only two topics. Write your own expected agenda before asking Gemini. Compare the assistant’s break placement and preparation list with your version. Then remove the start time and check whether it asks a question instead of choosing one. Finally add an equipment conflict: the room has no projector, while one topic requires slides. A useful revised agenda must expose that conflict and propose a reviewable alternative. Record the specific assumption you corrected, not just whether you liked the answer.
