Several months ago, Rice University signed a contract with Google for a Rice Google Workspace. Over the last couple of months, several staff have started to see (and apply) the phenomenal potential of NotebookLM and Google Gems, especially with Gemini Pro activated. Over the course of the last month, it has become extremely clear that these tools have astonishing transformative potential as they require no prior coding or AI tool development knowledge to implement in a series of incredible ways. In particular, NotebookLM has the potential to completely transform university operations, service provision, risk management, staff training, change management, and compliance overall. If any of you have been engaging with NotebookLM and Gems I'd be hugely interested in the exchange of ideas with you. In just a few days, we built a tool that functions at the level of a 20 yr + experienced RA in terms of the quality and consistency of the responses (including accurate citation) that it was giving to all manner of questions. Has anyone had any similar breakthroughs (or run into issues) with using the Google Workspace for Research Admin support?
