TL;DR
Using the regular Gemini app next to Google AI Studio is like showing up to a Formula 1 race in a family hatchback. Technically you're on the track. AI Studio is a free workshop, and these six tools are why one person can look like a team:
Six features is a lot. Here's the order I'd try them in, with a prompt for each, so you end your first hour with something you can actually use.
Build a one-page landing page for [my business] with a simple pricing calculator: visitors choose [options] and see an estimated price. Clean, mobile-friendly, with one clear call to action: [book a call / email me].
Keep version one tiny. Then ask for design variations and pick the one that looks most like you.
Using my sheet [name], draft a short, personal outreach email for each lead based on the details in their row. Keep each under 80 words and mark any lead with missing information.
Structured output makes the model reply in a fixed format (JSON) you can paste into a sheet or app without cleanup. Search grounding lets it pull current, cited information instead of guessing from memory.
With search grounding on: give me a short competitive overview of [3 competitors] in [market] right now, with sources for each claim. Separate facts from your interpretation.
Stuck on a broken page, a formula or a contract clause? Start stream mode, share the screen and ask out loud. It's the closest thing to a co-founder who's always awake and never brings up equity.
Feature names and buttons move around. If something has changed, search AI Studio's docs for the feature name.
Five quick scenarios. Pick the feature. It's practice for the real thing, so your first hour goes straight to results.
Six features, in the order to try them, each with a starter prompt and a 'done' box to tick, so your first hour ends with something you can use, not a bookmark.
