Practical uses
10 ways to use it this week
01
Research a video topic in an hour
The job: You need to know what every other video on the topic already says.
Import the top videos or a whole playlist in one click. Ask what they all cover and what nobody explains well. Turn the gaps into your outline.
02
Turn a slide deck into a blog post
The job: The talk is done; the article version never gets written.
Open the notebook with your deck in Studio and click Blog in the ribbon. NotebookTools imports the deck, writes the post and embeds every slide as an image. Download it as HTML, Word, PDF or Markdown.
03
Write how-to guides from screenshots
The job: Tutorials take hours because every step needs a screenshot.
Do the task once and capture each step with Alt+Shift+S. Click Create how-to guide. Get a written, step-by-step guide with every screenshot in place.
04
Repurpose one source into many formats
The job: One great interview should become a podcast, a deck and a carousel.
Add the source once. Generate an Audio Overview, slide deck, infographic and flashcards in Studio. Find every audio overview later in the Podcasts hub.
05
Build a swipe file of posts that work
The job: Great hooks scroll past and are gone.
Import standout posts from X, Reddit and LinkedIn as you see them. Tag them by format and topic in the notebooks table. Ask what the best-performing ones have in common.
06
Turn your AI brainstorms into a script
The job: Your ideas are scattered across ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini chats.
Import each conversation into one notebook. Ask for a single outline that merges the best ideas. Keep the original chats as sources to check against.
07
Write the weekly newsletter from your reading
The job: Friday comes and you can't remember what was worth sharing.
Save highlights and pages to a newsletter notebook all week. Ask for the five strongest ideas, each with its source. Export the answer as Markdown for your newsletter tool.
08
Run a content calendar in notebooks
The job: Every series and client needs its own research, kept apart.
Make one notebook per series or client. Use folders for clients and tags for status (idea, drafting, published). Filter the table to see what's in progress.
09
Keep a consistent visual style
The job: Every deck from AI looks different.
Pick a slide style from the prompt library (editorial, minimal, bold). Insert it with / in the chat or copy it into Studio. Get decks that look like one brand.
10
Fact-check before you publish
The job: One wrong number can sink a post.
Add your sources to the notebook behind the piece. Ask Gemini Notebook to verify each claim and show where it's from. Export the cited answer as your fact-check record.
