If you use Gemini, you can connect it to your Google Workspace: Gmail, Google Drive, Google Calendar, all of it. Gemini becomes a personal assistant that schedules meetings, reviews emails, and organizes files with plain language prompts.

Three workflows you can start using today.

Meeting Prep (Calendar)

Run this before your next meeting:

`Check my calendar for today. For my meeting with [Name/Company] at [Time]:

1. Summarize the last 3 emails I exchanged with them.
2. List any outstanding questions or tasks we discussed.
3. Generate a bulleted agenda based on this context.`

What this does: Pulls your calendar, cross-references your Gmail history with that contact, and builds a prep brief. No more scrambling for context five minutes before the call.

Inbox Triage (Gmail)

Catching up after a busy week or a holiday break:

Find all unread emails from the last [number] days from [Key Client/Domain]. Summarize them into a single briefing document. Group them by "Urgent Action Required" and "FYI Only".

What this does: Scans your inbox, filters by sender or domain, and returns a prioritized summary. Replace the client name or domain with whatever matters most to you. Run it Monday morning and you're caught up in two minutes instead of thirty.

Knowledge Hunter (Drive)

You need a specific document and search isn't finding it:

Find the "[Document Name]" and the "[Spreadsheet Name]". Compare the [metric] in the first document vs the [metric] in the second. Where did we miss? Where did we exceed?

What this does: Searches your Drive, opens both files, and runs the comparison for you. Works for strategy decks vs actuals, proposal drafts vs final versions, or any two documents you need cross-referenced.
