The 7 use cases

#Precise use case titlePrompt / example
1Drafting and Refining Professional CommunicationHelp me write an email to my boss about quitting my job. Tell her it's nothing personal, I just found a better opportunity, I've actually really enjoyed working for her, but I am giving in my two weeks' notice.
2Building a Functional App from a Plain-English RequestCreate an app for me where I can track all of my rock climbing progress and training.
3Turning a Topic into Interactive Learning MaterialsI know there are a lot of terms that are thrown around at the rock climbing gym that I don't understand. I want to learn what all of those are. Create a comprehensive report for me with all those different terms that might come up and the definitions of them and anything else that I really need to know to get started with rock climbing.
4Creating a Website from NotebookLM-backed KnowledgeCreate a website for me for my new climbing gym called Peak and Pivot Climbing.
5Rebuilding and Localizing an Existing App from a Video UploadGemini, this is a website that you can actually use to scan the night sky to see in real time what different planets are in the sky, what big popular famous stars are in the sky and all the different constellations as well. I want you to pretty much make me this exact same thing for Boulder, Colorado. So at any time I can come in here and see what's in the night sky. And I want it to behave exactly the same way.
6Generating a Dashboard from Raw DataCreate an interactive dashboard for me using all this data.
7Designing a Simple Game from a Verbal SpecCreate a game where there are gold stars falling from the sky that you have to catch in a basket that you move left and right. But if you catch a red star you actually lose a life and you only get like five lives before the game is over. As time goes on, everything speeds up and goes faster and faster making it harder.

Core takeaway

Gemini Canvas is presented as a multi-purpose creation surface: writing, apps, learning tools, source-grounded sites, tool iteration, dashboards, and games.
