Gemini Notebook

and Gems in Classroom: teachers attach AI study notebooks and custom Gemini assistants to assignments

Lets a teacher attach a Gemini Notebook or a Gem — a custom version of Gemini — to an assignment, built from the class’s own materials. Google: “The supported attachments on the classwork items you select import to Gemini Notebook as sources.” From those sources the teacher generates audio overviews, study guides and FAQs, and students chat with the notebook but cannot add sources.

AI suggests questions from the video for the teacher to use

Writes questions about a YouTube video that a teacher can add to a video assignment, which students then answer as they watch.
