Hello everyone. This year, Google has completely changed how we do research, create visuals, and turn ideas into outcomes. And it's all thanks to
outcomes. And it's all thanks to Notebook LM and Gemini. Two tools that, when combined, create one of the most powerful workflows you can use today.
Notebook LM acts as your research brain.
It can read massive documents, reports, articles, and even YouTube transcripts and extract deep structured insights.
Then Gemini takes those insights and transforms them into slides, infographics, and strategy dashboards all in seconds. So in this video, I'll show you how this combined workflow can completely change the way you work.
We'll use it to turn insights into infographics, research into presentations, trends into interactive maps, and data into strategy dashboards.
So let's start with the first one. Okay,
for our first use case, we're going to see how Notebook and Gemini can turn a 500page academic textbook into a single professionallook infographic page. So
here I have this textbook, Advances in Artificial Intelligence, more than 500 pages of theory, research, and data. So
here's what we need to do. First, we'll
head over to Notebook LM and create a new notebook. Then click on upload
new notebook. Then click on upload sources and upload the full textbook file. Notebook LM supports large
file. Notebook LM supports large documents, so it can read and analyze the entire 500page book. Once the upload finishes, we'll give it this prompt.
Extract the main insights, key data, and statistics and organize them into five sections: core themes, milestones, data, and trends, ethics, and future directions. Okay, so you can see
directions. Okay, so you can see Notebook LM has scanned the entire textbook and pulled out the key insights from over 500 pages, grouping everything into clear sections. You can see it
captured not just the theory but real data and trends from AI transparency and explainable systems to human AI collaboration, usability frameworks and
future research directions. Next, we'll
head over to Gemini. This is where we turn all those insights into a clear professional infographic. We'll paste
professional infographic. We'll paste everything we got from Notebook LM straight into Gemini. Then click on tools and make sure you turn on canvas mode. Then we'll add this prompt. Create
mode. Then we'll add this prompt. Create
a clean, professional infographic using a light, modern color palette, soft blues and grays with five clearly divided visual sections, icons, charts,
and balanced spacing. And here's the final result from Gemini. It's clean,
well structured, and looks like a professional executive summary. The
infographic automatically organizes the textbook insights into clear sections, starting with core strategic drivers, then moving into evidence-based performance metrics, and finishing with
augmentation and interface design. Each
section blends text and visuals, short data highlights, simple charts, and key statistics like workload reduction and accuracy rates, making the information instantly readable, and it turns hundreds of pages of dense material into
an infographic that's concise, elegant, and ready to present. Okay, for our second use case, we're going to build a complete research presentation using both Notebook LM and Gemini. So, first
we'll head over to Notebook LM, create a new notebook, and then click discover sources, and type latest thinking on the future of artificial general intelligence, including research papers,
and expert opinions. Notebook ALM will instantly search and compile credible materials, academic articles, reports, and even video transcripts from leading researchers and organizations. Once
we've reviewed the list, we'll select the most relevant sources and add them to a new notebook. This gives us a complete knowledge base. Now that we've gathered all our sources, we'll ask Notebook LM to turn them into a clear
presentation outline. Here's the prompt
presentation outline. Here's the prompt we'll use. Based on all sources in this
we'll use. Based on all sources in this notebook, create a 10-side outline titled the latest thinking on the future of artificial general intelligence. Each
slide should include a title, two or three key points, and short source notes for credibility. Notebook LLM instantly
for credibility. Notebook LLM instantly structures the content. It maps out the main ideas from AGI definitions and technical frontiers to ethical concerns, governance frameworks, and emerging
global viewpoints. Once we have this
global viewpoints. Once we have this outline ready, we'll take it over to Gemini. Paste in the outline and use
Gemini. Paste in the outline and use this prompt. Turn this into a 10 slide
this prompt. Turn this into a 10 slide presentation. Add short slide headlines,
presentation. Add short slide headlines, smooth transitions, and suggest relevant visuals like timelines, charts, and key quotes. And again, we need to make sure
quotes. And again, we need to make sure we switch on canvas mode. Okay, so now let's look at the output. We've got a professional, well ststructured presentation that looks clean, modern,
and datadriven. Gemini has transformed
and datadriven. Gemini has transformed the outline into a complete deck, clear sections, balanced visuals, and concise text that flows naturally from one idea
to the next. It captures the key insights, integrates real statistics, and presents everything in a polished presentation ready format. Overall, it's
exactly what you'd expect from combining Notebook LM's structured research with Gemini's visual design. Credible,
cohesive, and ready to share. Okay, for
our next use case, we're going to map out the most in demand AI skills of 2025 as an interactive constellation map.
We'll start in Notebook LM and select discover sources. Then type latest job
discover sources. Then type latest job market and labor trend reports on AI skills 2025 site in LinkedIn or WEF or Corsera or OECD. Notebook LM gathers
verified data from credible labor reports and skill indexes. Next, we'll
use the mind map feature to visualize the results. Once it's generated, we'll
the results. Once it's generated, we'll open it up and explore each cluster, expanding the branches to see how skills connect across roles and sectors. When
the map looks complete, we'll download it as an image. Then we'll go to Gemini, upload the mind map, and use this prompt. Create a constellation map
prompt. Create a constellation map titled the most in demand AI skills of 2025. Show six main clusters. Color code
2025. Show six main clusters. Color code
each and add hover text for every skill.
Gemini instantly transforms it into a clean, interactive visual. Each cluster
is clearly defined in various colors.
Hovering over any node brings up concise details. For example, ethics expands to
details. For example, ethics expands to show its purpose and even lists example roles like AI ethicist. It's smooth,
balanced, and well spaced, giving you a professional explorable view of how AI skills connect across domains and industries. Okay, for this use case,
industries. Okay, for this use case, we're going to see how small businesses can use Notebook LM and Gemini to build a live AI strategy board, a decision ready dashboard powered by verified
insights. We'll start inside Notebook LM
insights. We'll start inside Notebook LM and select discover sources. Then type
current trends in AI adoption by small businesses 2024 to 2025. Notebook LLM
gathers credible reports from sources like McKenzie, Deote, OECD, and WF.
Covering how AI is being used across marketing, HR, and automation. Next,
we'll ask summarize the key AI tools small businesses are adopting include tool type, maturity level, cost value ratio, barriers to adoption, and whether to adopt, monitor, or avoid. Notebook LM
builds a structured table showing high ROI tools like generative AI, areas to monitor like HR, automation, and emerging tools to watch closely. Now,
we'll move to Gemini. Paste the table and activate canvas and use this prompt.
Create an interactive strategy board for AI tools used by small businesses.
Include filters for maturity, cost, value, and strategic action. Gemini
instantly turns it into a clean, dynamic dashboard. You can filter trends and
dashboard. You can filter trends and explore tools across categories from generative AI for content and customer service chat bots to operational automation and marketing analytics. Each
card shows the use case, barriers, and an action label, adopt, monitor, or avoid, all color-coded for clarity.
Below that, the strategic insights panel highlights the essentials. Quick wins in productivity and customer service, key adoption barriers like skills gaps and ethics, and a clear road map. Short-term
adopt lowcost high ROI tools.
Medium-term scale chat bots and marketing AI. Long-term expand
marketing AI. Long-term expand automation carefully. The strategic
