This book shows you, step by step, how to \u003cb\u003eactually build AI-powered tools inside Google Workspace\u003c\/b\u003e using Gemini and Apps Script-clearly, responsibly, and from the ground up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether you are an educator, administrator, analyst, or developer, this book teaches you how to integrate Gemini directly into Google Docs, Sheets, Gmail, and custom Apps Script projects-without servers, without complex infrastructure, and without guessing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a \u003cb\u003ecomplete beginner's guide\u003c\/b\u003e, but it does not talk down to the reader. You do not need prior experience with AI, machine learning, or large language models. Everything is explained from first principles, with working examples you can run immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou will begin by understanding how Google Apps Script works, how fetch requests communicate with external services, and how authentication behaves in real Google Workspace environments. From there, you will learn how Gemini fits into that pipeline, how requests are structured, how responses are returned, and how to safely manage AI-generated content.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book covers both \u003cb\u003eAPI key-based Gemini usage\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eVertex AI (OAuth-based) Gemini integration\u003c\/b\u003e, reflecting real-world constraints in personal, educational, and enterprise environments. Instead of assuming one setup, the book explains why different environments behave differently-and how to design code that works reliably.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou will learn how to: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnect Apps Script to Gemini step by step\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuild and run repeatable smoke tests\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStructure Gemini requests and prompts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParse, validate, and format Gemini responses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle errors and edge cases safely\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInsert AI output into Docs and Sheets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuild reusable Gemini helper utilities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreate context-aware and user-safe tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutomate AI workflows responsibly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach chapter includes \u003cb\u003efully explained source code\u003c\/b\u003e, practical examples, exercises, and prompts that help you deepen your understanding rather than blindly copy code.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book does not treat AI as a shortcut or replacement for thinking. Instead, it teaches you how to design \u003cb\u003esystems\u003c\/b\u003e around AI-systems that are transparent, maintainable, testable, and safe to use in real environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou will learn why AI output must be reviewed, why formatting and validation matter, and why responsible automation is more valuable than uncontrolled generation. The goal is not to produce impressive demos, but to build tools people can trust.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is supported by \u003cb\u003eGitHub repositories\u003c\/b\u003e that include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA working Gemini 2.5 smoke test\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter-by-chapter example code\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReusable Gemini helper functions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean project structure for Apps Script\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReady-to-run examples you can adapt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou are encouraged to run, modify, and extend the code as you learn.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is ideal for: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEducators integrating AI into learning workflows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGoogle Workspace power users\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApps Script beginners and intermediates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdministrators automating documents and data\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDevelopers who want serverless AI solutions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone curious about practical AI in everyday tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo AI background is required-only curiosity and a willingness to learn.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLaurence Svekis is a Google Developer Expert, best-selling author, and educator with over two decades of experience teaching web development, automation, and modern programming.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIf you want to move beyond AI hype and learn how to build real, intelligent tools inside Google Workspace, this book is your complete guide.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laurence Lars Svekis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798241752918\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/29\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 246\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.52d","brand":"Laurence Lars Svekis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48801210630399,"sku":"9798241752918","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gemini-with-google-apps-script-laurence-lars-svekis-9798241752918","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
