Inside the course
The lessons move between research and creation: organize project documentation, investigate a topic, prototype a dashboard or decision-making app, and tailor a message. Further examples cover marketing assets, conversation practice, source-based research and pressure-testing a project plan. These short demonstrations are best used as patterns you can adapt to your own work.
Try this learning exercise
Use a fictional project brief to plan a research-to-report workflow. List the sources you would consult, questions you would ask, a draft email you would produce and the checks needed before using the result. Explain which steps belong in NotebookLM, Gemini or an app prototype.
