Emerging Technologies’ AI: Community of Practice (AICoP) is a multidisciplinary gathering exploring practical applications of AI across Columbia University—a space for learning, discussion, and experimentation.
In this session, we will welcome Dr. Kate Kieres, a Google for Education Partner, for a practical look at how Google Gemini, NotebookLM, and Workspace Studio can take on real work across the university without any coding. Our guest will walk through workflows that connect Gmail, Sheets, and Docs into automated pipelines, turn course materials into source-grounded study tutors and audio overviews, and synthesize dozens of dense PDFs into cited, research-ready briefs. The session will conclude with an open Q&A—we encourage you to bring questions or use cases related to the topics discussed.
