Create an Infographic with Gemini Notebook

With all the AI tools available, it is tough to choose what to use. Most are amazing, but Gemini Notebook stands out. Instead of working with a world of data and pulling from sometimes unverified sources, it pulls knowledge ONLY from the files YOU share with it! There is a lot to explore in this tool. Explore Gemini Notebook and see how awesome it is!

Create an Infographic:

1. Start by creating a new Gemini Notebook at notebook.google.com. 

2. Upload a few resources. These can be files from your Google Drive, PDFs you have, YouTube videos, websites you use, or any other files. Upload at least 3 files.

3. Click on the ”title box” in the center and customize your Notebook. You can make a notebook image and rename it here. Click ”Done” to save. 

4. Have Gemini Notebook create an infographic from your files. Make sure you have the files on the left checked to be included in the data for the image.

5. You can make this infographic fit your needs by selecting the style and options on this page. Type your prompt in the bottom box to give Notebook some direction in what you want the infographic to display. The more detailed you are, the better the image will fit your needs. Click “Generate” when you are done.

6. This will take a few minutes. One thing to keep in mind…you can only create 3 infographics per day. Once it is done, click the icon to the right.

7. You will be able to download this by clicking the 3 dots, then “Download”. 

8. If you do not see what you want, you can run it again and edit the prompt for more details on what you want.
