The Shift You've Been Waiting For

You already know how to work hard. You've mastered the late nights, the juggling act, the constant context-switching between policy drafts and citizen emails and presentation decks. But here's the question that keeps surfacing: What if working smarter wasn't just a cliché?

This training isn't about adding more tools to your already-crowded toolkit. It's about fundamentally changing your relationship with work — from doing everything yourself to directing a team of AI collaborators that never sleep, never forget, and never complain about tight deadlines.

By the end of this day, you'll look at your to-do list differently. Not as a mountain to climb, but as a series of tasks you can delegate, accelerate, or automate entirely. The skills you'll gain aren't theoretical — they're the kind you'll put into practice before the week is out.

Your AI Collaborators at a Glance

Six powerful tools that work together as a unified system:

Gemini 3.0 Pro - Your research powerhouse. Its Deep Research feature browses dozens of sources, reads documents, and compiles comprehensive reports — while you focus on other work. Perfect for policy research and environmental scans.

Canvas - Your collaborative writing partner. Co-write and edit documents side-by-side with AI — draft speeches, refine policy papers, or polish briefing notes. Like having a skilled editor available whenever you need one.

NotebookLM - Your personal knowledge expert. Upload policies, reports, and guidelines — then ask any question. It finds connections across documents and even creates audio summaries you can listen to during your commute.

Nano Banana (Gemini Image) - Your creative partner. Generate consistent visuals for campaigns, edit images professionally with in-painting, and create graphics that actually look on-brand — no design skills required.

Veo 3.1 - Your video producer. Turn ideas into videos with a text description — complete with synchronized audio. Create professional clips for townhalls, social media, or public education in minutes.

Opal (Gems) - Your AI assistant builder. Create bots that remember your rules and context — from citizen FAQ responders to internal process guides. They work 24/7 so you don't have to.

The real power? These tools work together. By day's end, you'll chain them into workflows that fundamentally change how you deliver results.

Participants are required to bring an internet-enabled laptop for hands-on exercises with the Gemini and NotebookLM ecosystem, as the application is web-based. Thank you.

Objective

By the end of this training, you will be able to:

1. Deploy autonomous research agents that gather information from dozens of sources while you focus elsewhere
2. Build living knowledge bases that answer questions from your own documents instantly
3. Co-write and refine documents with AI as a collaborative partner, not just a spellchecker
4. Generate professional visuals and edit images without touching design software
5. Produce short videos with synchronized audio for campaigns and communications
6. Create AI assistants that handle routine inquiries while you tackle complex problems
7. Chain these tools into end-to-end workflows that transform weeks of work into hours

Outline

The morning focuses on research, writing, and knowledge management — the foundation of good work. The afternoon shifts to creation and automation — turning insights into action.

Morning: Research, Writing & Strategy

Module 1: Gemini 3.0, Deep Research & Canvas

Move beyond basic prompting. You'll learn to deploy AI agents that autonomously research topics, analyse multiple sources, and draft comprehensive reports. Then use Canvas to co-write and refine your documents collaboratively with AI — editing, expanding, and polishing until they're ready for leadership.

Hands-On: "The 15-Minute Policy Brief"

Launch a Deep Research agent to investigate a policy area, then use Canvas to draft and refine a complete analysis. What used to take days now takes minutes.

Module 2: NotebookLM — Your Knowledge Vault
Build a centralised "Source of Truth" for any project. Upload circulars, guidelines, reports, and meeting notes — then let AI find the answers and connections you need. Bonus: generate audio overviews for learning on the go.

Hands-On: "Project Brain"

Create a shareable knowledge base that any team member can query. No more hunting through folders or asking "where's that document?"

Afternoon: Creation & Automation

Module 3: Nano Banana & Veo — Visual Storytelling
Create professional visuals and videos without a design team. Learn to generate consistent imagery for campaigns, edit photos with AI precision, and produce short videos with synchronized audio.

Hands-On: "Public Campaign in 30 Minutes"

Create a set of consistent campaign visuals and a 6-second animated clip ready for social media. Your comms team will want to know your secret.

Module 4 : Opal — Build Your AI Assistants
Scale your expertise by creating AI assistants that remember context and rules. Build helpers for citizen enquiries, internal process guidance, or even a "Devil's Advocate" that stress-tests your proposals.

Hands-On: "Citizen FAQ Bot"

Build an Opal trained on your department's FAQs that can handle common citizen enquiries accurately and consistently — 24/7.

Capstone: The "Powerhouse" Sprint

Put everything together. Execute a complete public initiative from research to launch:
1. Research: Use Deep Research to gather insights on a public concern
2. Write: Draft key messaging and talking points in Canvas
3. Visuals: Create campaign graphics with Nano Banana
4. Video: Produce an awareness clip with Veo
5. Support: Launch an Opal to handle public questions

By 5:00 PM, you'll have tangible proof of what's possible — and the skills to replicate it.

Who should attend

• Policy and programme officers seeking to accelerate research cycles
• Communications and engagement staff creating content at scale
• Customer service and operations teams managing high inquiry volumes
• Anyone who researches, writes, or creates — and wishes there were more hours in the day

No prior AI experience needed. Just bring curiosity and a willingness to experiment.
