Course details
Gemini in Chrome is ushering in a new era of agentic browsers—tools that can act autonomously across tabs, handle both routine and complex tasks, and integrate deeply with Google Workspace. This course shows learners how to tap into these capabilities to streamline real work, boost productivity, and make more effective decisions about when and how to delegate tasks to browser‑native agents. Through practical demonstrations and clear frameworks, learners will understand how agentic browsing changes workflows, governance, and user responsibility. By the end, they’ll be ready to safely and strategically incorporate agentic automation into their daily work.
Learning objectives
Identify the key capabilities that distinguish agentic browsers from traditional AI assistants, including autonomous multi‑tab actions and workflow execution.
Explain how to break a complex task into discrete, agent‑ready steps and evaluate when delegation is or isn’t appropriate.
Describe the user’s oversight responsibilities in agentic workflows and recognize common indicators that an agent has produced an incorrect or unreliable output.
Compare the risks associated with personal vs. enterprise account contexts and identify safe practices for handling sensitive data in agentic environments.
Analyze real‑world work scenarios to determine when agentic browsing provides meaningful productivity advantages and when a manual approach is preferable.
