Unlock your AI potential, one 'bite' at a time: Introducing "AI Boost Bites" from Google

After decades of development in research labs, AI is now being embraced and deployed in extraordinary ways. At Google Cloud we’ve seen this acceleration first-hand, with usage of our Gemini models now thirty-five times higher than just a year ago.

What makes this difficult for organizations is that this progress doesn’t happen uniformly. Some are keen to adopt immediately, while others are more cautious. Different teams have different needs, and technological change happens faster than structural change, which can leave us scrambling to bridge the gap. A recent study from Deloitte found that nearly 70% of executives report a moderate-to-extreme gap within their organizations when it comes to AI, with over a quarter (27%) classifying their gap as "major" or "extreme."

Training, development, and encouragement are needed — but how do you build a curriculum when the technology is constantly changing?

That's the challenge we posed to our team, and in response a few AI enthusiasts started a passion project. They filmed a series of short AI training videos with fun challenges to test their learning called "AI Boost Bites."

The videos focused on practical uses of AI — how to write better prompts, how to use AI to search for insights, how to get started with generative tools — and because they were short they were easier to fit into busy schedules.

The internal project was an instant hit — with more than twenty thousand “bites” being viewed by Googlers in the first few months. Our teams used them to solve real problems and drive remarkable results. We were inundated with requests on which products and areas to cover next.

Seeing this reaction from our teams told us that AI Boost Bites needed to be shared with the wider marketing community—which is why we’re now making them publicly available. We’re starting with 25 episodes that are live on the site, and we’ll be releasing new ones as they become available.

Forget month-long courses and big time commitments. These are concise, impactful video lessons, each under ten minutes long, designed to help you acquire new AI skills and expand your capabilities.

Our specialists will show you how they use powerful AI tools like Gemini, Veo, and NotebookLM to:

• Help with creative and content generation
• Deliver instant market intelligence
• Solve real-world business challenges
• Automate repetitive daily tasks

Every episode ends with a hands-on challenge, encouraging you to apply what you've learned immediately.

These "Bites" are designed for quick, practical learning and inspiration. They are just one piece of a much wider ecosystem of AI training and certification Google offers for those looking to go deeper.

If you’re looking for something more in-depth, Google also offers a range of programs available such as:

• The extensive catalog of generative AI courses on Google Cloud Skills Boost, covering everything from introductory concepts to advanced model development.
• The Google AI Essentials course from Grow with Google, designed to provide foundational AI skills for any career.

My hope is that by sharing our internal "AI Boost Bites," we can spark inspiration for your own organization. It’s a journey, but as we’ve learned, sometimes the smallest "bites" can make the biggest difference.
