To kick off the series, join us at Ticket 500 on Tuesday, May 19 for a session hosted by Vivek Haldar, an 18-year Google veteran. Vivek will lead a deep dive into the Google AI Stack and show how it can be used to run, automate, and scale business operations more effectively.

Why the Google AI Stack Matters: Google’s AI ecosystem has become a critical toolset for modern business. We’ll explore the layers of this stack and how they integrate to drive productivity:

Gemini & Google Workspace: Learn how the "AI brain" works across Gmail, Docs, Sheets, and Meet to streamline everyday research, writing, and planning. NotebookLM & AI Studio: Discover how to turn raw documents and PDFs into usable insights, and how to prototype your own workflows using the Gemini API. Vertex AI:

For those looking to scale, we’ll look at how enterprise-grade tools support custom agents and complex machine learning systems.

The Breakdown: If you want the "big picture" view, here is how the pieces fit together:

Gemini is the brain. Google Workspace is where the business runs. Sheets and Drive hold the data. Apps Script handles automation. Looker Studio visualizes performance. Vertex AI powers the most advanced systems.

This session is a unique opportunity to see how these tools connect and, more importantly, how they can be applied to real-world business workflows. As this is the start of a series, we’ll be laying the foundation for even deeper dives in the coming months.
