Happy Spring! This week's background is a garden of cherry blossoming trees generated in Google Meet.

Bob Danley: Personalising the Google AI Ecosystem to Create a Personal AI Assistant 

Bob suggests instead of simply asking AI questions, the creator would better act as a central architect, designing an engine where AI handles the repetitive, time-consuming "hard work" behind the scenes while the human remains the creative lead. He uses NotebookLM, Google Gems and Gemini in Google Docs to create a personalized AI Assistant.

Bob says: "In fact, dipping your toe in the water seems like a great idea. Um because again, some of this stuff takes a real long time to become comfortable with or learn it. And just don't be afraid. We're leading the parade. Keep coming back."

Nina Trankova: Automating the OnEBoard Newsletter with Workspace Studio 

Nina's experimental solution for Newsletter writing is a Hybrid Agent approach, which balances efficiency with quality control. 

The analytical comparison between manual and automated drafts indicates that while automation saves time, the final "human check" is crucial for maintaining high-value resource precision and community relationships.

Nina says: "Each AI is highly personalized as I agree totally with Bob. Um until you go through all the steps and run the tests you don't know. Initially uh I was aiming for 100% automation having even an application for the newsletter but it's still too early. It has a lot of mistakes. So the hybrid agent is absolutely a match for our on your board sessions"

Google updated Docs with Gemini which proved to meet OnEBoard's Newsletter automation best. 

OnEBoard will be back with 3 Tips in 10 Minutes on May 29.
