Summary

We’re introducing several updates to Gemini Notebook that give users a more personalized and powerful learning experience. Audio recorder: Users can now use a new audio recorder in the Gemini Notebook mobile app ( Android / iOS ) to capture lectures or record thoughts on the go, with these notes living directly alongside their sources for easy citation and ongoing edits. Real-time conversation with notebooks: Users 18 years or older can now have a real-time conversation with their notebooks using the Gemini Notebook mobile app ( Android / iOS ) in nearly 100 languages. Because every response is grounded in their sources, users can get step-by-step guidance, ask questions, and interrupt at any time just by speaking. Interactive learning overviews: To help users maintain focus during study sessions, we’re introducing interactive learning overviews under Reports, which weave together summaries and studio outputs like quizzes, flashcards, and mind maps. Improved exam prep tools: We’re expanding exam prep tools with the following updates: New quiz formats include short answer, multiple choice, and fill in the blank. Users can chat with their notebook about their performance on the most recently completed quiz and flashcard set to help determine where to focus their attention next. Quizzes and flashcards can be customized by adding or editing questions. Short Video Overviews for learning: Users can also create engaging Short Video Overviews in more than 80 languages and even share them with classmates or other people.
