Gemini Notebook Is Now a Connected App In Gemini

Have a useful Gemini response you want to keep in Gemini Notebook? You can ask @ Gemini Notebook to save it as a source in an existing notebook.

I'll demo the connection from Gemini’s web chat: listing available notebooks, asking for trigonometry practice resources, and saving the response into my Trigonometry Class notebook. I then open the notebook to confirm the source contains the response.

The workflow:
• Type @ and select Gemini Notebook from the app suggestions
• Ask it to list your available notebooks
• Generate a response you want to save
• Invoke @ Gemini Notebook and name the destination notebook
• Open the notebook and verify the saved source

Google also announces notebook creation, editing, deletion, and source-management actions through this integration.

Review generated information before treating it as a reference. Saving a response preserves it; you still need to check its accuracy and supporting sources.

Immersive Explorations In The Google Gemini App

Google released Immersive Explorations for the Gemini web app, but you won't find it in your sidebar menus or standard chat prompts just yet.

Here is how to access Gemini Immersive Explorations using the direct URL and navigate topics layer by layer.

I'll walk through the current account rollout, demo the interactive visual interface using Mesozoic Era and lightning physics examples, and test whether Gemini chat can actually launch the tool.

What you'll see:
• The direct URL required to bypass missing menu buttons and open the beta interface.
• Account availability across Google Workspace, Gemini Student Hub, and personal accounts.
• How to explore subtopics branch by branch from high-level summaries down to granular details.
• Using the tree navigation menu in the upper-left corner to back out across exploration layers.
• What happens when you prompt Gemini chat to start an immersive exploration directly.

Workaround & Current Limitations:
- Google's announcement notes that chat access is coming soon, but testing direct prompts in chat currently fails.
- For now, you must manually enter gemini.google.com/immersive-explorations in your browser to launch the tool.

Flashcard Images Failures In Gemini Notebook

Selected 'Include Images' in your Gemini Notebook Flashcards, but they still contain only text? That’s what happened in my tests, including a retry with explicit instructions to add images.

I'll check the flashcard settings, generate aviation and trigonometry decks, and inspect the results. The image option is selected, but I don’t see any images in the decks shown.

What I tried:
• Confirming Include Images is selected instead of Text Only
• Generating an aviation flashcard deck
• Retrying with an explicit request for images
• Switching to a trigonometry notebook
• Checking whether Add New Flashcard offers an image control
• Trying Explain the Answer
• Returning to a free account to inspect and configure the option there

The option is visible in both the free and Pro accounts shown. The completed generation tests demonstrated here use Pro.

If you successfully generate flashcards with images, tell us what worked: your topic, source types, settings, and prompt. I’d like to test it and make a follow-up video.

Gemini Notebook: Review Your Slide Outline Before Generating

Want to check your Gemini Notebook slide outline before generating the deck (and using your limits)? The new Review Toggle adds a planning step where you can inspect the proposed structure and provide feedback.

I'll generate an outline from a notebook, show where to review it, and explain the options to request changes, proceed, or delete the draft. I also show where to find Review Producer Notes for Video Overviews.

Here’s the process:
• Open a notebook and select your sources
• Open the Slide Deck customization settings
• Turn on Review slide outline
• Choose your settings, enter your prompt, and select Generate
• When the outline is ready in Studio, select Review
• Inspect the plan and add feedback before proceeding

Feedback can request changes such as adding an executive summary, removing a slide, or reordering sections.

For Video Overviews, look for Review Producer Notes in the customization settings. It provides a similar opportunity to review the proposed plan before the video is generated.

The toggle wasn’t visible on my free account when I recorded on 10/27/2026. Google announced a gradual rollout beginning October 16th, so availability may differ from the recording.

ChatGPT File Upload Size Limits

What is the largest file you can upload to ChatGPT? The answer depends on the file type, and documents also have a separate token limit.

I'll show where to attach files and briefly review OpenAI’s published upload limits, including an important distinction for MP4 audio files.

The limits covered:
• Documents and presentations: 512 MB per file
• Text and document files: an additional cap of 2 million tokens per file
• Spreadsheets and CSVs: approximately 50 MB, depending on row size
• Images: 20 MB per image
• Audio: 512 MB per file, where audio uploads are available

The document token limit applies alongside the file-size limit. Being under 512 MB doesn’t automatically mean a document is within every applicable limit.
