19 Google Gemini Features You Didn't Know About Transcription

• 00:00 - 00:30 today we are going to be exploring 19 of the coolest features in Google Gemini that you probably had no idea even existed some of these features are going to be paid others are going to be free but with that being said let's dive into it right now so the first thing that I want to talk about is the fact that in Google Gemini you can just generate images so for example in the log here we can just say hey uh please generate me an image of a dog and within a matter of seconds it's GNA generate you that image of a dog it's funny because like I feel
• 00:30 - 01:00 like even like a few years ago if you went out onto the street and said to a stranger hey like in a couple of years from now you'll be able to generate an image of a dog from Tex to look at you and be like you're like you're crazy but here we go a few years later and it's completely possible it's just an anecdote I love it because Gemini always gives me um like golden retriever or Ginger dogs I think it secretly knows the M Ginger and it wants to give me it wants to pair me up with other other redheads as well now
• 01:00 - 01:30 on top of actually being able to generate images like this you can actually analyze images straight through Google Gemini as well so let me explain what I mean by that so let's say for example we have a picture of a mountain range I just pulled this off of Google and I downloaded this mountain range and let's say we want to import this into Google Gemini well the reality is is um maybe I want to have Google Gemini process this image and tell me what it means um but obviously that's a complic
• 01:30 - 02:00 task to do right because it requires Vision but using Google Gemini using their the natural using their their I can't speak right now they're AI algorithms they can actually detect what is going on in the image and serve that back to you so please tell me what's going on in this image and it's going to be able to essentially tell you exactly what it sees right so this image shows a stunning pan panoramic view a fast mountain ranges here's a breakdown of
• 02:00 - 02:30 some of the key elements so snow capped Peaks glaciers deep valleys all that kind of stuff right so that's really cool um practically speaking what this could mean um there's a lot of different use cases maybe you could use it for security for detecting abnormalities in video or in footage or maybe you want to generate titles and descriptions of images that you want to upload as products onto like an e-commerce store so that's just like two of many examples that you could use this for now the next
• 02:30 - 03:00 thing in uh Google Gemini is that you can create something called Custom Gems so if we just circle back you have you can always create new chats here right and this is just like a generic way to interact with Google Gemini but using the gem manager down here and this is a paid feature by the way you can create your own custom um functions you could you could call it I guess where essentially you set up certain things that you want it to do um for you and
• 03:00 - 03:30 then it will um do those things incredibly well so for example you could have a jam that's specializes in brainstorming right and it will help you brainstorm really cool ideas maybe you want a career guide like how to apply to certain places how to polish your resume all that kind of stuff this can help you out maybe you want a coding partner where you want to be able to bounce code code off of Google jamini and'll work through problems that you find difficult simultaneously with you right so these are just a couple examples but you can
• 03:30 - 04:00 create your own new gem down here so in this case I created a contract gem which allows me to generate contracts and send that off to clients immediately from within uh from using Google Gemini so practically speaking we have our gem here is the contract Gem and all I have to do is say please um create a contract for me and it's going to follow up with a couple different things I'm going to say title
• 04:00 - 04:30 is going to just be contract and description is going is um let's just I'm going to give an email here and I'll explain what's going on so practically speaking what I've done is I've hooked up this Google gem if we go into edit and look at the description here the instructions are your main job is to create a task for users uh in Google Tasks right and you just need to enter in a title and a description and here is the task that we created now we have a task very simple
• 04:30 - 05:00 the title is contract and the body of the task is an email what that means is that when this task is created I've actually synced this up with something called make.com make.com is a automation platform that just connects in tens of thousands of other applications if I just show you some of these applications you probably use them already like Google drive or air table or monday.com or or your Gmail account Google Calendar Facebook 10 of thousands of applications
• 05:00 - 05:30 right but in this case when a when a task has been created we're going to pull out that email and we're going to create a contract this is kind of just a template contract that I created in like two seconds just to show you guys what the power of this would look like but yeah you can just create a contract like this in a in a software called pandadoc which is a document building software and then you could essentially send over a contract and immediately straight from with within Google Gemini
• 05:30 - 06:00 somebody uh that's a client for example could receive a contract and maybe they go ahead sign they pay straight through you just using Google Gemini here so you can use this you can turn Google Gemini into one of the most powerful AI agents that connects into absolutely anything and it's not just limited to of course contracts it could be a million in one things maybe you want to parse receipts maybe you want to create tasks in another software maybe you want to call email um whatever change update people
• 06:00 - 06:30 in your your your CRM maybe you want to create social media posts maybe you want to create blog posts you can do that all through a custom gem like that setting it up the exact same way I'll have the blueprint for how to do this in the description down below if you guys want to take a look at that for yourselves now the next thing that I want to talk about here which is feature 4 is that instead of just using Google Gemini from within Google Gemini you can actually just use Google Gemini in other platforms so for example if we Circle back to this example of make.com we
• 06:30 - 07:00 created this contract right which is freaking cool but imagine that instead of using Google Gemini and having to always interface with it in their console here you could just have it set up on autopilot so day in day out even if you're sleeping you're eating you're hanging out with friends it's just doing work for you so instead of it being like a colleague that assists you it's an autonomous AI employee that just does tasks for you without you even having to think about having to do those tasks
• 07:00 - 07:30 yourself so practically speaking let's give a couple examples here so in this example we have emails coming in right to my Gmail account and what we're going to do is we're going to essentially find receipts in the emails right so PDF files with receipts and if we find those PDF files what we're going to do is we're going to use Google Gemini to break those receipts down into line items and then send them into a Google sheet like this so immediately I just took a receipt off my email and then I Auto automatically added it into Google
• 07:30 - 08:00 Sheets I could add it into accounting software as well the options are endless another example could be that maybe I want to use Google Gemini to create blog posts right so full-on blogs even uploading it straight into WordPress this can all be done automatically practically speaking this is what one of those blog posts could look like if you used it properly so not only could you create blog posts automatically using Google Gemini but then once those blog posts are published you can then go
• 08:00 - 08:30 ahead and turn those same blog posts uh reformat the the data so that you turn them into social media posts like posting it on Facebook or posting it on Instagram so possibilities are endless here but those are just a couple examples of how you could use Google Gemini outside of the actual platform and you can accomplish literally anything the only limitation to what you can and cannot do is essentially your imagination right so if you think big enough you can probably do with the next
• 08:30 - 09:00 thing here is that you can change the formatting of um data in Google Gemini so for example let's say that um I want to format data in tables or lists or code or whatever you can just change it up so let's say that um please create a table of the average temperature in uh USA and it's just going to go ahead and
• 09:00 - 09:30 do that right so let's just see um what they uh what it says here okay so I think I messed up on the prompt so I'm just actually going to go back and rechange this please create a table of the average temperature in the US um USA by month and we're going to update it here and this is just going to give a bit more details as to actually creating that table and here we go we have month January all the way to December and then average temperature in
• 09:30 - 10:00 fahrenheit degrees right we could turn that into a list as well please give me the same data but this time in a list format and now instead of outputting it in a table format we're outputting it in a list format as well this is Json data to be spe specific but this is just another example of data formats that you can use so instead of saying please give me a bullet list format not Json it's
• 10:00 - 10:30 going to convert that once again into a new list of data so options are endless here there's a lot of different ways that you can format the data to get the results that you're looking for now the next thing that I want to talk about here is the context window of Google Gemini so if you guys have been using these platforms for a long time sometimes you'll run into errors where you're like man like I I just can't process all the data that I need to process in one go because the
• 10:30 - 11:00 information I'm trying to upload it's just too big and there's nothing more frustrating than when you're like you really need help you're stuck on something and you come to something like Google Gemini and you're like hey please help me solve this problem and it says sure no problem but unfortunately that's way too much data so better luck next time and uh you have to par into like multiple responses or sometimes it just doesn't work now with Google Gemini what's cool and this is a paid feature by the way is that the context window is 1 million tokens so that sounds like a of gibberish uh like at least it did to
• 11:00 - 11:30 me the first time I heard it but essentially what a token is is it's like units of words so a token on average is like four characters right so um one token would be a word like that or season let's just type in season this would be one token here and then half a token there right so a million tokens in other words is a freaking ton of data so let's say that um we pull in all of our favorite book which is the the the
• 11:30 - 12:00 lifetime uh works of William Shakespeare I'm sure every single person watching this video right now has uh read this book at one time or another if you haven't I'm just kidding I've never read this in my entire life this would be a mouthful to go through but I I I chose it because it's 3,910 Pages would like take me 10 lifetimes to read because I'm sure it would be pretty dry and it's very very long but the point is is that you can actually upload that entire book of 3,00 910 pages and it will literally
• 12:00 - 12:30 process that whole thing for us so we can go ahead and upload that PDF and I can say please tell uh please summarize this PDF in one paragraph and what it's going to do is it's going to literally read what would take me 10 years to do in the span of like maybe 30 45 seconds and uh yeah it's just going to summarize the entire book for me so
• 12:30 - 13:00 instead of me having to spend my time reading this it's just going to do that all for me um instead and the other thing that I want to point out here which actually brings me to the next feature is another cool thing about software like this is that you can just summarize what it is that you're like summarize information on the web right so if you didn't want to read a book like this or if you want to summarize emails that are coming into your inbox or if you want to suiz articles that you
• 13:00 - 13:30 find online you can easily upload those into Google Gemini and you could summarize all that content right so this is a huge game Cher and it's going to save so much time so in this example it says this PDF is an ebook version of the complete works of William Shakespeare published in 1916 and so on and so forth right so that's really really cool now the next thing that I want to talk about here is that you can actually upload documents and analyze those documents straight right through Google Gemini so
• 13:30 - 14:00 as an example okay we have this PDF document here and this PDF document is just about Spotify and top charts and all of that kind of stuff and what we can do very similarly to how we did it with this PDF document and by the way it's it's not just PDF documents I'm just using PDFs for this example you could use CSV files you could use pretty much any other file that you want to upload but for the purpose of this tutorial I just ended up with a PDF file
• 14:00 - 14:30 um but you can just upload that data and you can get it to analyze and provide you with certain information so I could say please um tell me the most popular track on this list and it's going to go through analyze the whole thing and actually provide answers to the questions that you have so instead of you let's say for example maybe you needed to go through something a bit longer than a two to three page uh PDF maybe it's a Shakespeare PDF right and you're like man that's going to take me
• 14:30 - 15:00 so freaking long like this is ridiculous um all of a sudden it can pull out answers for you really really quickly right which is awesome so it just went through it pulled out the most popular song which is one Danced by Drake so that's another really powerful um use case of Google Gemini now the next thing that I want to talk about here is that Google Gemini can also be like your technical partner or like a fractional CTO in the sense that like uh Chief technology officer in
• 15:00 - 15:30 the sense that like it will literally help you through problems that you cannot solve yourself I remember the first time I actually got into using platforms like this was because I was struggling with a coding problem for like 12 hours I was this close to like smashing my computer in and just like going like just getting into a full rage over how I could not solve a problem and my friend's like hey you should just try using like an AI platform to to solve it for you I'm like there's no freaking way
• 15:30 - 16:00 there's 0% chance that that's going to work at all and uh within 5 minutes it was solved and I thought it was like a miracle at the time because I was like how is this platform solving coding problems that I can't even solve myself and that I've scoured the entire web uh for answers and I just couldn't find anything so um bottom line is is that it's incredibly powerful at doing certain types of coding obviously not all coding if it's very complicated or if you're at a high level um in in in software engineering it's probably not going to be a lifesaver for you but if you're doing like basic kind of stuff
• 16:00 - 16:30 front end work um and it's not too sophisticated then something like this can really help you out so for example let's say that um you want to code a function right and you want to change somebody's name to uppercase so instead of it being jno catli now it's completely uppercase I can say please create me a JavaScript function to um upper case someone's name and if you didn't know
• 16:30 - 17:00 how to do this or you're struggling with how to create this it's just going to create that function for you but you also could literally just provide it with all of your code like uh or whatever and it's going to solve that entire page for you and if you're sitting here being like oh man this is boring like I'm not a coder or whatever it doesn't it's not only just code oh this uh this seems to have not worked totally uh exactly how I wanted it to so
• 17:00 - 17:30 we'll just back up here and try it again please create me a JavaScript function to um take a user's name and turn it into uppercase letters um it's not just about coding right you can do so many more things with it so this is this is kind of an example there I'll come back to this in a second but let's say you're using Google Sheets and you're trying to struggle to find a formula or using Google Excel and you're struggling to find a formula or anything technical where you just one answer things like
• 17:30 - 18:00 math or coding or things like Excel or formulas or whatever all of that kind of stuff can be done very well within Google Gemini it's going to save so much freaking time this is actually one of the mo the best use cases that I use it for because anytime I struggle with anything I just ask Google chamini and it's like I have like a a a a person that's very technical in my pocket that I can call on at any point in time and this particular JavaScript function to uppercase it literally just takes somebody's name and it's turns it to uppercase so for this example we come in
• 18:00 - 18:30 with John Doe and the output would be John Doe just uppercase right here so in a matter of seconds if you're struggling with technical issues then you have a solution through uh through through Gemini here now the next thing that I want to talk about is the extensions within Google Gemini so the cool thing is if you go into settings and you go to extensions you can plug in Google Gemini into so many different Google applications so this native is going to be unchecked for at least at the time
• 18:30 - 19:00 it's recording so please go ahead and check off Google workspace if you want to give Google Gemini access to your workspace like Gmail and Google Calendar and docs and all that kind of stuff and by default everything else will be checked off like Google flights Google hotels Maps YouTube YouTube music now just a couple um I'm just going to give my two cents here first of all I think that this is really cool I think at the time of this recording I perceive this to be more flash than anything else
• 19:00 - 19:30 because it's like yeah you can create a draft in Gemini for your Gmail but you can also just go to Gmail and create a draft there as well so it's kind of like it has the functionality um it has it's just serving you limited functionality of what you could do better in the platforms that uh that that you otherwise could be using yes it's centralized in one place but I would rather just go to Gmail write emails or summarize emails or whatever um that's just my personal opinion however I think that over time as time goes on this will become more powerful unlock a lot of
• 19:30 - 20:00 features that you may or may not be able to do in these platforms and this extension library is going to grow I think significantly PES Google products into a breadth of other things as well just like you see in chat gbt where there's a library of just uh hundreds and hundreds of other applications that you know add their own software into it like creating presentations or videos or whatever straight through it so there there's a lot of room to grow here but let me just give you one example which is Google hotels here so let's say I
• 20:00 - 20:30 have a new chat and I want to find uh a hotel for myself in Sydney Australia I could say please find me a hotel in Sydney uh Australia for July 25th um next year right my budget is under $200 let's just say this is really cool cuz me personally like man like I I I really don't like going on to Google and searching this stuff up and then you're bombarded with like a thousand different
• 20:30 - 21:00 offers and then you're just like which one do I choose and you get paralysis by analysis but something like this is really nice because it's like hey here's just a couple options and then you just click on it it's like bam there's the results um and you can just move forward immediately so that's really really cool right um now the next thing is is that of course you can use these um different extensions in chat or in Google Gemini I always get the two confused um so for example I could say please please pull in my last um please pull in the second
• 21:00 - 21:30 last email that I received okay and it's just going to pull in from Gmail the second last email that I received which is really cool and it doesn't just have to be one email you could pull in all your emails for the day you could summarize all the emails for the day um but I'm just going to focus on one because it's my personal email account here okay sweet so this is just one
• 21:30 - 22:00 example um of an email that I pulled in new sale for somebody donated $6 to one of my blueprints I could not only pull that email in I could say please summarize this exact email and it's going to take that email and then it's going to summarize that to make it even shorter right so let's say somebody gave you a freaking long email and you're thinking man you expect me to read all that content like oh my gosh um you could just sum summarize it down right
• 22:00 - 22:30 and you could also say please create a draft email response to this message do not use any templates or variables give me a final product okay and then it's just going to create a draft email that I can send off pretty much right away and then I could just share and Export and draft this in Gmail then go ahead and go into to Gmail and send it off so obviously
• 22:30 - 23:00 really cool a lot of Opp opportunities there but the cool thing about it is Gemini doesn't just work with these applications from Google Gemini what I really like and where I see a lot of potential with Google Gemini is that it's not just a standalone application it's like hey come here and do everything in the centralized Hub they're actually building it as a product across their entire Google workplace workplace platform so if we go into Google Sheets here you have this Gemini logo up at the top right now if I
• 23:00 - 23:30 click on this and I say please generate me a table of the average temperatures in USA by month it's literally just going to take a couple seconds and generate that table for me so in a matter of seconds it's going to get something up and running which is super cool this can save a lot of time and the thing that I like to think about is like I already think this is pretty cool but um realistically
• 23:30 - 24:00 speaking it's probably on the cusp right now for me using it or not um just in terms of practicality but I think it's going to get way way better in the next few years and I think this could be the future of you know using Google products where you start with a base and then you work on top of the base that it provides you with right just because it's going to save so much time another example here is I have a Google slideshow and I created a slide using AI this is literally what it said I just asked it about world population give me like a a
• 24:00 - 24:30 a summary of world population and I could follow up and say please create uh oops I'm going to create a new slide here um please create another slide actually it's going to create a third slide down here about um the trends of world population over the next decade right and once again it's going to take a couple seconds and then generate a uh another slide for me just essentially
• 24:30 - 25:00 out of thin air right so I don't know to me that that seems really impressive and once again I think that this is just a product in its emphy and in the next two three four years it's going to be absolutely gamechanging right now you can do this in Google Slides you can do this in Google Sheets you can do this in pretty much every Google product out there this is just two examples of how this would work okay so this is the slide that I gave us population Trends the next decade looks
• 25:00 - 25:30 good to me and there we go right so that's really really fascinating at least to me now the next thing that I want to talk about here is enhancing writing so um you know what's funny is like I want to type out like a bad sentence with like spelling mistakes but I have to think so hard about making all these mistakes that I'd like be sitting here for five minutes trying to create a horrible sentence please so I'm just gonna ask Gemini to do this for me please create a horribly written
• 25:30 - 26:00 sentence with spelling uh grammar and punctuation mistakes okay awesome and here we go here's the example it's like really hard to write a sentence bad you know I mean everyone just uh does their best maybe if I triy to make a lot of mistakes then it would be really bad so now we have our bad sentence and we could enhance our writing so please
• 26:00 - 26:30 enhance this writing to the level of a post doc dur and all of a sudden we can choose right what level we want that writing to be at and then it's going to completely change how this interact or how the the text comes out so we went from it's really bad hard to write a sentence bad you know to ah a delightful challenge uh so here we go the inherent difficulty in intentionally constructing
• 26:30 - 27:00 a grammatically flawed sentence rif with I don't even know how to I've never seen that word before in my life orthographical and punctuation errors is evident indeed the ingrained human propensity for linguistic accuracy oh my gosh it's like takes me back to my university years where you read a sentence you're like this makes no sense at all and I think you're just over complicating things and trying to make it sound more complicated than it is to make yourself
• 27:00 - 27:30 sound more smarter than you actually are so anyways I think that like very interesting but you can change like the the the writing style right and it doesn't just have to be postdoctorate and and I I don't even think that most postdoctorates even write like that but I think it's a really interesting example of how you can increase your writing uh skills right or not increase your writing skills but increase the output of your writing um very quickly this is great for emails this is great if you have to write content online there's a million in one applications for this but this
• 27:30 - 28:00 could really help you save a lot of time um next thing here that I want to talk about is brainstorming ideas so one of the cool things I think about these platforms is that they can really help you overcome writers block so case in point let's say that uh you're starting a business and you want to come up with a good business name right but that's kind of challenging and you can sit there for days trying to figure out like how should I name my business let's say you have a PL business um it's quite
• 28:00 - 28:30 challenging right and often you're struck with paralysis by analysis um but what you could do instead is come into something like Google Gemini and ask it to generate a bunch of names for you so please generate me 100 names for my Plumbing business and it's just going to go ahead and simply do this and what I like specifically about this is that it flips the script so that instead of you having to always brainstorm and think of creative ideas it now allows you to just
• 28:30 - 29:00 analyze good ideas and pick the one that stands out to you the most right so it just speeds up your workflow allows you to be more efficient with your time so quick fix plumbing pipe dreams flow Pros uh drain doctors drain doctors I don't think is the best one here leak ninjas tap Titans anyways so on and so forth there is a lot of uh alliterations in there as well um that like to use so next thing that I want to talk about
• 29:00 - 29:30 here is custom instructions so the thing is is that um you can tell Google Gemini to remember certain things about you and every single time um it interacts with you it will recall what you told it to remember and then respond to you in a certain way so in essence you're customizing your own experience on the platform so um I went to the Philippines a couple years ago and it always makes me laugh because the culturally it's quite a bit different and over there people will always address You by Sir so
• 29:30 - 30:00 usually I'm just like in North America it's like hey you know they'll they'll say hey they'll address you by your first name right but over there it's like sir jono welcome sir jono hello sir jono how are you doing sir joho and that cracks me up man like I find that so freaking funny so I'm just going to go ahead and I'm going to tell Gemini to always address Me by Sir johon so I'm going to say I'm going to start a new chat here I'm going to say please always moving for address Me by Sir jono as my name right
• 30:00 - 30:30 and then moving forward every single time it communicates with me it's going to address me by my real name which is sirj so let's go ahead and do this again uh what's my name and it will say your name is Sir jono so anyways that's just one example right but practically speaking what you could do is like let's say that you come extensions and you use Google Gemini
• 30:30 - 31:00 right for um for for directions right and you plug it into Google Maps here you could tell it hey when you're giving me instructions on how to get somewhere just remember I don't have a car for example and then it's going to give you directions on how to walk there or take public transit right so it can customize your experience to um you know the details that you provide it with which is really handy right and it can save you a lot of time the next thing that I want to go over here is assigning roles right so what I mean by that is if the
• 31:00 - 31:30 more information you provide um Google Gemini with the better it will be at delivering the response that you're actually looking for so I could say please write me uh an email um please write an email to a friend confirming we'll meet uh tomorrow right and it's just going to generate me like a really basic email but you could just
• 31:30 - 32:00 oh my gosh it's even signing off on Serj the two that's hilarious um that is something that I'd have to change Gemini that's not that's not going to cut it from me okay it's only you you only have the specific right to call me serjal um so we could change this and assign assign by assigning a role right so that role could be like um please write the same email but this time um address the friend like your Shakespeare so please write the same
• 32:00 - 32:30 email but uh speak like your uh Shake spear right and by assigning that Ro role it's going to change the whole uh Narrative of the message so it's like greetings um I py pry never once again no idea how to say that confirm our engagement for the tomorrow I doth eagerly anticipate our reunion and share of our Tal um we remain
• 32:30 - 33:00 steadfast in our plan to convene at whatever time at the esteemed whatever location so anyways like I I know this is like kind of a bit out there but um this is just like a exaggerated example of what it is that you can do so if you have a specific tone of voice that you like then you can uh then you can use that so case in point to like I uh I use you know Google Gemini and these platforms to write blogs for me all the time and I will write it on a service based
• 33:00 - 33:30 business let's just go back to the plumbing example um you can't convince me that if you write a blog post about something to do with plumbing that I'm actually going to enjoy it like I don't think anyone's going to read a a plumbing post and be like that was so entertaining that I'm going to do the same thing tomorrow and the next day and the day after that because this is just blowing my mind like I can't get enough of this kind of stuff it's usually really dry material and it sucks right to have to read it but you're reading it for a particular purpose because you need to get some information so what you
• 33:30 - 34:00 could do instead is just make the content more enjoyable for people to read more engaging and how I like to do that is through humor so what I'll do is I'll tell it my tone of voice is humor can you please write me something funny it'll go off and do that and at least when people read my blog posts they're more engaging they stay longer they have a lower scroll depth so they get lower on the page and a lot of other metrics are increased which means that my blog posts rise higher on Google and are more visible to more people and ultimately speaking make more money because of that so I think that this is a great way to
• 34:00 - 34:30 change the tone of voice now the next thing that I want to talk about here is context right so let's say I want to learn how to program I could just be like please tell me how I should learn to program and it's just going to give some really generic information here right so I'm going to start a new chat here because I just don't like the fact that it's communicating to me as if I was Shakespeare please so I'm just going to say please do not communicate to me like your
• 34:30 - 35:00 Shakespeare and once that's out of the way I just wanted to make sure that that wasn't there I don't think it was Sav but just in case um then I'm going to say please tell me how I should learn software engineering and it's just going to give like a really generic path forward the problem with software engineering is there's just so many different Avenues you can go down right maybe you want to learn Ai and python maybe you want to learn web development
• 35:00 - 35:30 in JavaScript maybe you want to become somebody who does like you know uh like I don't know data analysis or modeling and that kind of stuff maybe you go to R maybe you go on the back end maybe you're somebody who specializes in C there's so many different paths right and when it when you just ask a generic question like this it's going to give you a very generic answer but if you provide more context then it's going to understand what it is that you're looking to do a lot better and will give you a very t response to the question that you ask so for example I could say
• 35:30 - 36:00 please tell me the best path forward to learn software engineering I already know HTML and CSS these are like prerequisites pretty much to coding hyper text markup language and cascading styling sheets um it's for like styling the page and putting elements on the page like buttons for example or like this icon and I could just say um I want to learn uh web development for example example that's a specific type of development and my goal is to create
• 36:00 - 36:30 custom web applications right and now all of a sudden it's going to take something very abstract and it's going to give you a custom tailored response and in this case now you're saying okay the first thing you want to do is you want to learn JavaScript fundamentals and then after that you want to uh become a learn front-end Frameworks and backend development and it just gives you a very specific
• 36:30 - 37:00 tailored plan with actional steps and it gives you concrete sound advice on how to accomplish the goals that you set for yourself the last thing here that I want to talk about in this video today is follow-up questions using Google Gemini so for example in this video I'm making you know um a video on Google Gemini features so I could say to Google Gemini please um provide me with YouTube uh video titles for my video on Google
• 37:00 - 37:30 Gemini features right and it's just going to give me a list of different um titles now that's great in itself but I find that usually Sometimes the best answers you get through multiple follow-up questions right this is also something that regular search engines just can't do which makes AI search engines like this so powerful so instead of it just providing me with a list of the best or of titles that I could use Ed maybe I want it to actually go ahead
• 37:30 - 38:00 and pick a title for me and the reason I say pick a title for me is let's say you don't have any experience in marketing maybe you don't know what the most appealing Hook is or the best title would be to generate the most clicks right but something that Google Gemini probably has a decent understanding of what's going to drive um that human behavior and it's going to give you a response based on the knowledge that it knows so for example we could come back in here and say please we can say given your um marketing oops marketing
• 38:00 - 38:30 knowledge please pick the title that would generate the most clicks and then it's going to you know give you some examples and it mentions here it's tough to say for sure right because it's never going to know it's not like it's bulletproof but based on its logic and intuition it will give you the response that it feels would be the best right I tried Google Jam and this is what happened so that's just an example right
• 38:30 - 39:00 and I didn't set this up properly because I should have provided more context into you know what I was doing specifically but this is the list of titles and that is the specific title that it feels would do the best and that's how you can use followup questions to your advantage to get their best results on a platform like Google Gemini thank you guys so much for watching this video really hope you enjoyed this type of content if you have questions leave them down below in the description if you guys like videos like this and you want to learn more stuff
