Hands-On Workshop · about 30 min
A hands-on workshop, not a course. Ari walks you through pointing Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM) at your own notes or a video, then turning them into a podcast, flashcards, and a quiz.

No walls of text. Ari tells you exactly what to click next — and what you should see when it works.
You do it in Gemini Notebook with your own notes or video, and tell Ari what happened. If it doesn't match, Ari figures out why and gets you unstuck.
Every step ends in something real — a cited answer, a podcast playing your notes, a quiz you can take. You mark it done and move on.
If you've got a pile of notes, a dense PDF, or a lecture that won't stick, you're exactly who this is for. We start from the very beginning.
No technical experience. If you can open a website and sign in with Gmail, you can do every step.
Ari never dumps everything on you. One clear step, then the next — at your pace, across as many sittings as you like.
Ask about your own document and click the citation to see the exact line it came from. No more crossing your fingers.
One click turns your material into a podcast-style show and a short video — your own notes, explained back to you.
Turn your notes or a Khan Academy video into flashcards and a quiz — and it can quiz you right in the chat.
Gemini Notebook's free version is all you need, and this course costs nothing. Built by a nonprofit.
Seven short hands-on steps, about half an hour total — do it in one sitting or several, it saves your place. This is about doing it once with your own material, not studying for a test.
A written course, an AI beside you, and progress you control. Here's what each part actually does.
This isn't Ari making things up as it goes. The path is authored ahead of time:
A printed guide can't help when something goes wrong. Ari can:
No score is guessing at what's in your head. Here, progress is just a record of what you actually did:
Ari is an AI language model. It's a great guide for this — but a few habits make it work far better.
The whole thing clicks when it's studying something you care about. No document handy? Ari gives you an easy fallback.
It takes two seconds and it's the single biggest reliability habit — you're checking the receipt, not trusting a guess.
Because it only knows your material, the chat becomes a tutor who's read exactly what you're studying.
Tell it which chapter to focus on or how hard to make it, and you get study material built for what you need — not a generic summary.
Google renamed NotebookLM to Gemini Notebook. The website is still notebooklm.google. If the logo says Gemini Notebook, you're in the right place.
Like any AI chatbot, it can sound confident and still be wrong. Inside Gemini Notebook, that's exactly why you click the citation to check.
Google says the sources you add to your own notebooks aren't used to train its models, and your notebook stays private unless you choose to share it.
