Building on the foundations of the 101 session, this intermediate session deepens participants’ understanding by introducing reasoning models that support more sophisticated queries.

Learners are guided through the use of Deep Research models for complex investigations and are taught how to use example-based prompting (shots) to achieve better output.

The importance of follow-up questions is emphasised to iteratively refine responses. Speech models are introduced, enabling voice interaction with AI, and participants gain hands-on experience with Google Notebook LM and interactive podcasts. Editing capabilities through Canvas modes are also covered. Attendees will develop new prompting styles and learn how to build writing consistency and tone.

The session encourages collaboration through tools like Spaces and sharing features, while also offering practice tools such as Google's "Say what you see" technique. Advanced prompting practices—like iteration, handling conflicting personas, and applying self-critique—are explored. The session concludes with a focused look at emerging risks and how to safely navigate them.
