Duration: 60 Min

Why Should You Attend 

The AI revolution is not coming — it is already here. Right now, professionals across every industry are using AI tools to work faster, write better, analyze deeper, and accomplish in minutes what used to take hours. If you are still relying solely on Google Workspace without incorporating a powerful AI assistant like Claude, you are already at a disadvantage — and that gap is widening every day.

Google Workspace gives you excellent tools for creating documents, managing email, building presentations, and organizing data, but on their own, they still leave the thinking, writing, and analysis up to you. That’s where Claude comes in. Claude’s advanced language reasoning, nuanced writing capabilities, and deep analytical power make it a perfect complement to the Google Workspace tools you already depend on. Claude can connect directly to Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Calendar, so it works with your actual emails, files, and schedule.

Think about how much of your workday is spent writing — emails, reports, summaries, proposals, meeting notes. Now imagine having an AI assistant that can draft, refine, and improve all of that content in seconds, working right alongside Gmail, Docs, and Slides. Think about the hours lost staring at Google Sheets trying to make sense of data — Claude can explain trends, suggest formulas, and turn raw numbers into clear narratives.

The fear is real: professionals who don’t learn to work with AI will be replaced by those who do. But the uncertainty stops here. This session gives you a clear, practical roadmap for integrating Claude into your existing Google Workspace workflow — no technical background required. You will leave with immediately usable skills that make you more efficient, more capable, and more indispensable in your organization.

Don’t wait until your colleagues and competitors are already ahead. Attend this session and discover exactly how Claude and Google Workspace together can transform the way you work.

Background

Claude is Anthropic’s industry-leading AI assistant, known for its advanced reasoning, nuanced writing ability, and strong safety design. Google Workspace is one of the world’s most widely used suites of business productivity tools, including Docs, Sheets, Slides, Gmail, and Meet. This session explores how these two powerful platforms work together, and how professionals can combine them to dramatically boost productivity, creativity, and decision-making in their everyday work.

Overview

This session is designed for professionals who use Google Workspace every day and want to supercharge their productivity by adding Claude — Anthropic’s powerful AI assistant — to their workflow. Whether you are in finance, healthcare, manufacturing, HR, or any other industry, the combination of Claude and Google Workspace gives you an AI-powered edge that is practical, accessible, and immediately impactful.

We will begin with a clear, jargon-free introduction to Claude: what it is, how it works, how it differs from other AI tools like ChatGPT, and why its advanced reasoning and writing capabilities make it uniquely suited for business professionals. You will also see how to connect Claude to Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Calendar, so it can work directly with your emails, files, and schedule.

From there, the session dives into practical, hands-on applications across Google Workspace. In Google Docs, you will see how Claude can help you draft documents faster, restructure content, improve clarity, and adapt your writing for different audiences — from executive summaries to detailed technical reports. In Gmail, Claude becomes your email coach, helping you craft professional responses, summarize long threads, and communicate with precision and confidence.
In Google Sheets, Claude’s power is remarkable for non-technical users.

You will learn how to describe what you need in plain English and have Claude generate formulas, explain data patterns, and help you turn spreadsheets into compelling stories. In Google Slides, Claude can help you build out slide content, develop talking points, and ensure your presentations are clear, persuasive, and professional.

The session also covers meetings and scheduling, exploring how Claude can use Google Calendar to help you prepare for meetings, draft agendas, summarize Google Meet transcripts saved to Drive, and craft follow-up messages that keep projects moving forward.

A key focus of the session is effective prompting — learning how to communicate with Claude to get the best possible results. You will learn the art and science of writing prompts that produce high-quality, business-ready outputs, saving you time and reducing the need for heavy editing.
We will also address the important questions of privacy and security: what data you should and should not share with Claude, how to protect sensitive business information, and best practices for responsible AI use in a professional setting.

By the end of this session, you will have a clear understanding of how to use Claude as a daily productivity partner within your Google Workspace environment. You will walk away with real skills, real techniques, and real confidence to start using Claude immediately to work smarter, faster, and more effectively.
