Google’s recent Guided Learning release within its Gemini AI ecosystem marks a noteworthy moment in how artificial intelligence supports not only individual learning but also daily workplace productivity.

What’s New: Guided Learning in Gemini

Gemini’s Guided Learning functionality is designed to move beyond static online courses or unstructured self-teaching. At its core, Guided Learning leverages advanced AI to create personalised, context-aware pathways that help users build skills more precisely and efficiently. Key differentiators include:

  • Dynamic Content Adaptation: AI surfaces relevant resources, feedback, and learning modules based on user performance, goals, and recent activity, rather than relying on a generic curriculum.
  • Real-Time Support and Assessment: Learners receive feedback and prompts in real-time, encouraging a more hands-on, iterative approach to mastering new skills.
  • Scalability Across Roles: It can support a range of learning scenarios: onboarding new hires, upskilling experienced staff, or supporting leaders pursuing continuous growth.

This solution sits within the broader evolution of AI, described in recent workplace research as the transition from static “automation” to dynamic “superagency,” where AI becomes a genuine partner in human capability-building.

Why It Matters: Relevance for Contact Centres

While Gemini’s Guided Learning is designed for general workplace application, its approach is especially pertinent for contact centres and customer service teams, where the speed of change and complexity of tasks are high.

Based on major documented trends for 2025, AI’s role in contact centres is expanding in several ways:

  • Real-Time Agent Assist: AI copilots now empower agents with live guidance, surface critical information during calls, and automate after-call work, all of which reduce cognitive overload and improve customer experience.
  • Dynamic Upskilling: The ability to deliver contextual, just-in-time learning means that agents can continuously adapt to new products, policies, and digital tools, making them more resilient in fast-changing environments.
  • Personalised Quality Management: AI-driven quality assurance and compliance can now be delivered alongside targeted coaching and feedback, embedding agent development into daily operations rather than treating it as a periodic training exercise.

The Takeaway for Leaders

Gemini’s Guided Learning is a product of the broader AI trend toward adaptive, workforce-centred technology—empowering employees with more confidence than ever before. For contact centre leaders, this opens the door to several practical opportunities:

  • Faster onboarding and more targeted skills growth for agents
  • Smoother adoption of new automation or customer engagement features
  • Improved ability for supervisors to coach, manage, and respond to changing metrics

The path forward for contact centre operations is an exciting one, by building smarter, more agile teams—where AI guides professionals to their next level of expertise, every day.
