Product Information

AI is often discussed in abstract terms, leaving professionals unsure of what is safe, useful, or appropriate in practice. This session cuts through the noise and focuses on Google AI tools that accountants can use with confidence. The first part focuses on prompting and critical thinking, showing why the quality of input and judgement determines the quality of output. Google Gemini is explored through an accounting lens, focusing on research, analysis, and written work. The second part shifts to Google Notebook LM and Google AI Studio, showing how these tools help make sense of large volumes of information and support structured thinking. The emphasis throughout is control, responsibility, and practical use — using AI to save time and improve work quality without giving up professional judgement.
