I used MIT’s free “How to AI Almost Anything” course as the source and built a complete beginner guide to Gemini Notebook.

I added all 12 lectures to one notebook and tested every Studio feature on the same material.

A few things you can do:

• Turn your sources into a podcast with two AI hosts.

• Generate an explainer video from the same material.

• Create a full slide deck in minutes.

• Turn the course into an infographic and mind map.

• Generate flashcards and quizzes from your own sources.

• Build an interactive learning report.

• Extract all 12 lectures into one structured data table.

And if you want to go beyond the beginner part, I also connected Gemini Notebook to Claude Code and Codex.

That lets an agent create notebooks, add sources, query them, and generate Studio outputs for you.

I also included 5 real use cases I built with this setup.

The full beginner guide, exact prompts, settings, and outputs are here:

I tested 7 prompts on one notebook using Harvard’s CS50 Artificial Intelligence lecture as the starting source.

A few things they can do:

• Find concepts your sources assume but never explain, then research and add the missing sources automatically.

• Compare every source and find contradictions in facts, numbers, and recommendations.

• Lock the notebook into a specific persona, so it answers in the voice of the teacher or author behind your sources.

• Turn the notebook into a 7-day learning plan with timestamps, tasks, and a checklist.

• Search for newer research, add it as sources, and create a decision memo comparing the old information with the new.

• Turn the same sources into a structured PDF handbook.

• Generate an exploded-view infographic of the main system described in your sources.

I tested all 7 on the same CS50 AI notebook and included the exact prompts + outputs here: https://www.learnwithmeai.com/p/gemini-notebook-prompts

I trained 3 NotebookLMs on their actual writings and sources.

I also customized each NotebookLM so they act like Tesla, Newton, and Buffett.

When you ask a question, each one starts with a relevant quote from their own writings and gives advice based on how they actually thought.

All 3 NotebookLM links are available inside the article.

I trained NotebookLM on MIT’s free How to AI (Almost) Anything lectures and turned it into my own private AI university.

It acts as my professor, lab, academic advisor, and 24/7 office hours.

It can test me one question at a time, find gaps in my knowledge, run coding labs, build study schedules, and create course packs with quizzes, flashcards, slides, and PDFs.

All 6 prompts + the MIT course link are public.

They’re built from BlackRock, JPMorgan, the Fed, Michael Burry, and Goldman Sachs sources.

All 5 links are public.

I’ve trained 10 NotebookLMs for AI, business, investing, prompting, and learning.

All 10 links are public.

I tested Gemini Notebook with Stanford lectures (Self-Improving Agents) and built 10 prompts for quizzes, study guides, weakness reports, formula sheets, and more.

I explored the new cloud computer inside NotebookLM (now Gemini Notebook).

It writes and runs its own code now. Charts, data analysis, Excel reports, and multiple outputs from a single prompt.

I tested it with 52 invoice PDFs and wrote 10 prompts along the way.

I turned 3 free YouTube videos into learning apps with Gemini Notebook and Gemini connection.

• A study planner that unlocks day by day.
• A tutorial that becomes a checklist.
• An AI interviewer that quizzes you and gives feedback.

Just connect your notebook to Gemini Canvas and paste one prompt.

The free plan is enough.

I turned 5 free YouTube courses into learning apps with NotebookLM and Gemini.

A Spanish tutor, SQL coach, history professor, book tutor, and interview coach.

No code.

Just add the video to NotebookLM, connect it to Gemini Canvas, and describe the app.
