easy to follow, understand and complete. Love that it is at your own pace and you can pause when needed and go back exactly where you left off.
Appreciate the detailed and informative methods of learning about AI and Vibe Coding!
I learned a lot from this class; the "expert" is excellent for pressure testing my ideas. Looking forward to the next course.
I love every single step it is user friendly and explains it perfectly and easy! i got so much better and it helped me so much with my personal projects!
Thank you so much. I learned a lot and hoping to know and practice what I've learn
Explained well about AI use cases in Gemini canvas and Sheets using AI() function. Great use for daily tasks saving a lot of time.
A solid foundational course that prioritizes practical application over theory. The Gemini-specific tool knowledge (NotebookLM, Gems) is particularly useful for workplace productivity.

It was an insightful opportunity for me to be the part of this Course. I learnt a lot about how to use AI and its capabilities. Would be looking forward for other courses.
Excellent, clear, and specific information for practical application.
A good course having deep understanding about AI usage but a good part is that they will also tell the AI limitations.
It covered the basics to the advance use of AI in writing and communicating. It was eay to implement the training to my job.

Far too basic. I know it says 'fundamentals', but come on, this is baby steps.
The course content exhibits a strong sector-specific bias, focusing almost exclusively on Marketing. Other vital business functions, such as Finance, Manufacturing, and Internal Auditing, are completely ignored in examples and case studies. As a professional in the [Finance/Audit] sector, I find this approach discriminatory toward non-marketing fields. It diminishes the educational value of the course and fails to demonstrate the universal application of the concepts taught. I request that you review the curriculum to include diverse industry examples (Production, Financial Operations) to ensure the content is inclusive and professionally balanced.
I'm paying for a course that's selling me access to an AI tool I don't want. This isn't a course; I'm paying to see an advertisement for a tool that makes no sense to me right now. I can cancel my subscription before the 3 months are up, but I don't want to. That's where these platforms, like this course platform, really make their money: people sign up, then forget to cancel and end up paying for something they don't use. Terrible concept and purpose of this "course".
WTF is this. I get Blocked cannot access! Scammers
have successfully completed the AI Fundamentals course by Google. This program has completely shifted my mindset from viewing AI as a simple task completer to using it as a professional, strategic collaborator. I gained hands-on experience in building a Prompting Framework and mastering Prompt Chaining to solve complex, multi-step problems. Additionally, learning to use NotebookLM to create a grounded knowledge hub has been incredibly valuable for streamlining team communication. This course is essential for anyone looking to use AI responsibly and effectively in a professional environment
I completed this course as part of the Google AI Professional Certificate and found the overall value disappointing. The content is very basic, with extremely short videos, limited reading material, and only a small amount of depth. While the labs were useful, they made up the majority of the practical learning experience. Much of the course felt like a high-level overview rather than professional-level training. I had previously completed Google's AI Essentials and AI Prompting courses, both of which heavily promoted this certificate as the next step. Unfortunately, I did not find that this program delivered significantly more depth or advanced knowledge than those earlier courses. I also did not appreciate the frequent promotion of Google products and services, including Gemini and Google AI Pro. A paid educational program should be able to stand on its own merits without relying so heavily on additional services. My biggest concern is the value relative to the cost. The amount of content in these courses is small enough that a dedicated learner could complete a substantial portion of the certificate in a very short period of time. Given the brevity of the videos, readings, and lessons, I do not believe the current subscription price is justified. In my opinion, this material would be more appropriately offered as a free introductory course or as a significantly lower-cost certificate. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this program at its current price.
Course description says - a learner enrolled in this certificate, is eligible for a complimentary 3-month trial subscription to help you build your portfolio of AI solutions. But you get NOTHING. You can chat with AI support, who will offer you NO Support.
Complimentary AI pro trial could not be activated. Neither Coursera nor Google was willing to fix this, so I could not fully participate in the labs. I didn´t get the full extent of what I paid for. Disappointing.
Informative, straightforward and easy to follow. The 4 star rating is strictly due to an unredeemable link to Google AI Pro free trial subscription. My account is eligible for the free trial, yet when I click the link to redeem the AI Pro, I'm sent into an irritating loop to nowhere. I'd expect poor design and broken links from a C list company, but this is Google. Come on.

Even though I've been an avid user of AI for about 3 years (OpenAI said i was in the top 1% of users of ChatGPT in 2025! no kidding)... I had not been using it professionally except for random questions or research. I have a YouTube channel that is hyper-local, a civic community project bringing local government meetings to the people. Now I've fully integrated the things I've learned to take the transcript and have AI create an article, quick bullet points, a facebook post, ideas for short videos, a slide deck news brief and thumbnail... Definitely glad I took the course. (Google people, if you see this please consider being a patron for a very worthwhile civic project. My channel is six years old but I'm still building viewership and sponsors. I could sure use some help. I think this is the way we rebuild a healthy relationship with politics, at the county or community level). Russell County Online YouTube Channel.
I love this course! What I appreciated most is that I walked away with language. I can talk about these concepts now without guessing, and I can bring that understanding back to my own classroom with real confidence. That matters when you're the one other people look to for answers. If you've been telling yourself you'll "get to AI eventually," consider this your nudge. You don't need a tech background. You just need to be willing to start. This is a wonderful place to begin a new chapter. Highly recommend — especially for educators and anyone stepping into AI for the first time. - Nanette
This module completely shifted my perspective on working with artificial intelligence.

The practical prompt strategies and real-world scenarios were incredibly valuable. It provides actionable frameworks that help you refine your logic, structure data more effectively, and co-create solutions side-by-side with the AI. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to maximize their productivity and elevate how they approach problem-solving!
Google AI Fundamentals is an excellent beginner-friendly course that explains AI concepts in a clear and practical manner. The content is well-structured, engaging, and focuses on real-world applications rather than complex technical details. I particularly appreciated the emphasis on responsible AI, prompt engineering, and understanding how AI tools can improve productivity across different domains. I highly recommend this course to students, educators, researchers, and professionals looking to build a solid foundation in AI and understand its growing impact on the future of work.
Я завершила курс «Основи ШІ» — і це було цінне навчання. Мене особливо вразило те, наскільки курс побудований чітко, логічно й послідовно. Інформація подається зрозуміло, без перевантаження, водночас дуже практично. Я взяла цей курс, тому що хотіла навчитися використовувати їх у своїй професійній діяльності. І вже зараз застосовую отримані знання для створення авторського психологічного інструментарію, рекламних текстів, візуалів та нових проєктів. Тепер я працюю більш впевнено, структуровано й творчо. Щиро дякую викладачам за якісний, сучасний і дуже корисний курс!

One of the most valuable things I learned was how to use AI responsibly and effectively. The course also taught me the importance of protecting my personal data and privacy when interacting with AI tools. I now have a better understanding of what information should and should not be shared online.
The course was highly enjoyable, and the videos were engaging and easy to follow. I especially liked the practical section. Even though I was already familiar with many of the technical aspects, I still found the course very useful. I really appreciate the new direction it takes—not just focusing on the technical side, but also highlighting user responsibility, privacy protection, and the limitations of AI. I believe this course is valuable for anyone, even those already experienced with AI, and it’s an absolute must for beginners.
Learning fundamentals of AI using Google has helped me immensely. My concepts are clear and I am prompting better when utilizing it for gathering information on some of my prospects. The test assignment was very intense and intuitive. Overall, it was a great learning experience and will stay with me as I move forward in my quest for developing capabilities in AI. I am pursuing my next learning and getting closer to my area of interest which is research and insights. Hope to stay connected with Gemini for all my learning. Thank you
An exceptional certificate that delivers immediate, practical value for heavy operational workflows. What stood out to me were the modules focused on transforming unstructured information into organized data. Managing large volumes of records and keeping a division running smoothly requires efficient systems, and learning how to collaborate with AI to analyze messy data and automate repetitive tasks has been a game-changer. The expert guidance from Google makes this a must-take for any manager looking to streamline operations.
