AI in Google and Microsoft is a practical training program designed to help professionals use artificial intelligence across two of the most widely used workplace technology ecosystems. The course introduces participants to AI-powered features in Google Workspace and Microsoft 365, helping them improve productivity, streamline everyday tasks, and work more effectively with documents, data, communication, and collaboration tools.
Duration 2 days – 14 hrs
Overview
The AI in Google and Microsoft training is a practical, hands-on program designed to help professionals maximize the capabilities of AI-powered features across Google Workspace and Microsoft 365. The course focuses on applying AI within familiar workplace applications to improve productivity, accelerate content creation, simplify data analysis, and make everyday communication more efficient—without requiring programming or advanced technical skills.
Participants will gain practical experience using AI capabilities across Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides, as well as Microsoft Word, Excel, and Outlook. Through guided demonstrations and hands-on exercises, learners will discover how AI can assist with drafting documents, summarizing information, generating presentations, analyzing data, creating formulas, refining content, and managing professional communications.
The course introduces participants to AI assistants within both ecosystems, including Google’s AI productivity features and Microsoft Copilot, while highlighting how their capabilities and workflows differ. Participants will learn how to select the appropriate platform and AI feature based on the task, available data, desired output, and workplace requirements.
A strong emphasis is placed on prompting and effective AI interaction. Participants will learn how to provide clear instructions, add relevant context, specify the desired format or tone, and refine AI-generated results. These techniques will help users produce more useful and relevant outputs while maintaining control over the final work.
Through realistic workplace scenarios, participants will apply AI to common tasks such as creating reports and proposals, analyzing budgets and sales data, developing presentations, summarizing documents, drafting emails, and organizing information. These activities demonstrate how AI can reduce repetitive work and allow professionals to focus more time on analysis, decision-making, and other higher-value responsibilities.
The training also introduces responsible AI and data-handling practices. Participants will learn the importance of reviewing AI-generated content, verifying information, protecting confidential data, and maintaining human oversight when using AI tools for professional work.
By the end of the AI in Google and Microsoft training, participants will be able to confidently use AI-powered features across both ecosystems to create content faster, analyze information more effectively, streamline communication, and improve everyday workplace workflows. The practical knowledge gained will enable learners to make informed decisions about which AI tools and features best support their specific roles and business needs.
