We live in an era where it’s almost impossible to end a workday without using AI. For many knowledge workers today, it’s perfectly natural to ask ChatGPT or other conversational AIs for quick answers during the day. Yet despite AI’s rapid advancement, the way we actually work hasn’t changed much. Repetitive tasks still take up most of our time.
So why are we still doing everything manually? The answer often comes down to one word: trust.
According to Harvard Business Review, nearly 50% of people still distrust AI-generated results.
But what if your AI could only respond based on approved, verified documents within your organization?
That’s exactly where our approach begins.
In this article, we’ll show you how to significantly reduce repetitive work by combining approved workflow documents with Google Gemini Gems, creating a secure, trustworthy, and always up-to-date AI assistant for your team.
