Google Workspace Updates Blog:
Gemini Notebook now gives you more creative control over Slide Decks and Video Overviews. Instead of jumping straight to a final output, Gemini Notebook can now walk you through a step-by-step creation flow so you can steer the content further and guide the visual style and format. Get started by asking for a presentation or video in chat or by tapping on "Slide Deck" or "Video" in the Studio panel.
- Guided customization: In chat, Gemini Notebook suggests relevant focus topics, formats, and visual styles based on your sources. If you already know what you want, you can share specific instructions in your prompt and Gemini Notebook will pre-fill your selections without asking you to repeat yourself.
- Outline and producer notes review: If you turn on the Review toggle, you can preview the slide deck outline or video producer notes in the Studio panel and give written feedback before generating the final output.
- Quick first pass: If you prefer a quick output, you can still have Gemini Notebook generate a Slide Deck or Video Overview right away without the extra review step.
