Full transcript (original language)
Section titled “Full transcript (original language)”00:00 If you want to get the most out of Gemini, you should add skills which just came out. Let me show you some really useful ones. I get sent long reports all the time and I typically use AI to summarize it. I typically don’t read all the way through every type of report that I get. I’m going to create a skill here called executive summary. I said, “Whenever I upload a long document, give me a one-page summary with three different parts.” And these are the parts I care about here. So, I’m going to go ahead and create that skill. Okay, now what I’m going to do is I have this 14-page PDF here. I’m going to upload
00:30 that to chat and I’m going to bring in this skill, this executive summary skill. And I didn’t include any additional prompt here and it gave me the recap and I could easily edit it, but I typically just like to have a folder for these type of things in my drive. You could do the exact same thing here inside of Sparks. So, if you switch over with this toggle to spark instead of chat, these could create different types of things for you. So, in this case, I wanted a PDF format. This gives you nicely formatted PDFs like this, too. Now, this one, data snapshot, does the same type of thing, but is when you
01:02 upload a spreadsheet or any kind of data file. I’m going to go ahead and create that skill with this. And with the Excel file uploaded with that skill pulled in, it created a really nice and easy-to-read summary here. And it also created a chart that shows us the data in a different way, in a visual way.
