Summary

The video demonstrates how to create an interactive report in Gemini Notebook using a detailed PDF as the source. The creator selects the interactive format, chooses a learning overview template, and enters a prompt specifying the report’s audience, structure, and learning materials. The finished report combines written explanations with slides, flashcards, an infographic, a mind map, video overviews, practice calculations, and a quiz. The video also shows how to share the report and adapt the process to other topics.

Key points

Gemini Notebook’s report feature can bring multiple learning materials together on one page.
The example uses the International Energy Agency’s World Energy Outlook 2025 PDF.
Reports are created in Studio by selecting Reports, the interactive format, and a template.
A specific prompt can set the report’s audience, sections, and included activities.
The report includes a contents menu for navigating between sections.
Slides, flashcards, and an infographic appear alongside relevant explanations.
A mind map and video overviews provide additional ways to explore concepts and calculations.
The summary and review section includes key takeaways, an energy-units table, and a revision checklist.
A quiz helps test understanding, and the report can be shared with selected people or anyone with a link.

Full transcript (original language)

00:00 Gemini notebook can now create an interactive report from your source material with slides, flashcards, infographics, mind maps, video overviews, quizzes, and a written summary all together on one page through its new report feature. You can read an explanation, open a visual, and test your understanding as you work through the report, then share it through a single link. In this video, I’ll show you how to create one step-by-step, share the exact prompt, and show you how to use it immediately in your own work.

00:30 So, let’s get started. So, let’s create a new Gemini notebook. For this example, I’m using World Energy Outlook 2025 from the International Energy Agency. You’ll see that it’s almost 500 pages long with plenty of material for us to work with. There are explanations we can summarize, charts we can interpret, and numerical data we can use for practice questions. You could follow the same process with a textbook chapter, a research report, or your own learning notes. Okay, let’s add the PDF as our source. Now, let’s move

01:01 over to studio where you’ll find the new reports option. Let’s click on reports to open it. There are two formats here, document and interactive. I’m choosing interactive and the learning overview template. Next, I’ll click edit so we can give it more specific instructions. So, here you can see you can choose your language, the sources you want to use. For us, we are limiting it to one source which we have uploaded, and then here under describe the report you want to create, we will add our prompt. So, here’s the prompt I’m going to use. I’ve linked the complete version below so you

01:32 can copy it. We’re asking for an interactive learning report called how the world gets its energy for someone without a technical background. The prompt gives it a clear section-by-section structure, specifies where to include slides, flashcards, an infographic, a mind map, a video overview, and a quiz. We’re asking for these to be created and included within the report alongside the written explanations and practice activities. You can change the topic, audience, and structure to suit your own material. Let’s enter that and generate the report. Okay, so our interactive report

02:02 is now ready, so let’s check this out. On the left, we have a contents menu, so we can move directly to the section we want. It starts with the introduction, then covers the different sources, regional comparisons and trends, future scenarios and practice calculations. In the introduction, we can see the learning objectives clearly laid out. Then, if we open understand the energy system, here it explains the main terms. Just below that, there’s a suggested slide deck called global energy flows, so I’m going to click add. Once it

02:34 finishes generating, the full slide deck appears here inside the report. And look at the detail in these slides. We have a visual showing how energy flows through the system, a table comparing the three future scenarios, and illustrated diagrams breaking down energy use across industry, transport, and buildings. So, I’m learning the concepts, and at the same time, I have a full slide deck with images, diagrams, and comparisons to help me understand them. What I really like is how each slide presents the information differently depending on

03:05 what it needs to explain. I can move through the presentation, zoom into the details, and return to the written explanation all here inside the report. Next, we have learn the energy sources. This section works through the different sources, explaining their roles, and including figures from the report. Underneath, I’ve already added the flash cards here, and covering energy sources definitions and the differences between related concepts. We can work through the cards, try answering each question, and then reveal the response. And I really like how you can have the flash

03:35 cards sit right beside the explanation, so you can read the material and then check what you remember without leaving the report. Now, let’s look at the trends and regional comparisons. Here, the report compares the energy systems of different countries. Below that, I’ve already added the infographic, bringing together energy demand, regional differences, and future emissions pathways in one visual. The illustrations and color-coded pathways help us follow the ideas. So, as we read the explanation, we also have a visual showing how the information connects.

04:07 Further down the report explains the different future scenarios and how their assumptions affect energy demand and emissions. We can add the mind map here and expand its branches to follow those connections. There’s also a video overview we can play the report giving us another way to work through the topic. Then we reach the practice calculations. The first example looks at the change in renewables as share of electricity generation. It gives us the source figures, formulas, and steps. There’s a video walk-through we can add here, too, covering the calculations,

04:39 unit conversions, and the difference between percentage changes and percentage point changes, so we can read the explanation, follow the worked example, and watch the method, all within the same report. At the end of the report, we have summary and review, bringing together the main ideas and key takeaways. There’s a table of the energy units, a comparison of the future scenarios, and a revision checklist pointing us back to the relevant chapters in the source, so we can quickly review what we’ve covered and see which sections to revisit. And

05:11 finally, there’s a quiz we can add here to test our understanding of the concepts, interpret charts, and practice calculations. That gives us a way to check what we’ve learned after And finally, if you want to share it, you can come up here on the share icon and here add the people and groups you want to share it with, or click here and share it with anyone with a link. And you can follow the same process with material you want to understand or teach, and change the prompt to suit another topic. You will find the prompt in the description if you want to produce a similar structure. So, in this

05:41 video, we created an interactive report from a detailed PDF, bringing together explanations, slides, flashcards, an infographic, a mind map, video and audio overviews, and a quiz. So, I hope you found this video useful, and make sure to subscribe for more practical ways to use AI. Thanks for watching, and I’ll see you in the next one.
