Session Overview
Date: March 20, 2026
Duration: ~16 minutes
Participants: James, Kelly
Focus: Using NotebookLM to create infographics and repurpose Zoom recordings
What Was Covered
Google Gemini for Video Analysis
James demonstrated using Google Gemini to analyze a YouTube video with timestamp-specific prompts. By telling Gemini to “focus on about 10 minutes in and the last 10 minutes workflow,” he showed how to extract targeted content from long recordings. The output was exported to Google Docs and shared via Zoom chat.
NotebookLM Infographic Workflow
The core workflow demonstrated was:
- Copy the text output from Gemini into NotebookLM as a new source
- Create a new notebook and paste the text
- Add the original video link as an additional source
- Generate an infographic (landscape, professional style)
James noted this replaces the previous Canva-based workflow for creating visual summaries of session content.
Repurposing Zoom Recordings
Kelly had recorded a lesson on Wednesday and wanted to turn it into usable content. James explained she could use the exact same workflow with her Zoom transcript — add it as a source in NotebookLM, then generate infographics, summaries, or other outputs directly.
Claude for Automation
James demonstrated how he uses Claude to automate publishing tasks:
- Creating community posts with video links attached to the feed
- Generating promotional emails for a new course
- Creating coupons and pricing
The key insight: “You don’t have to do stuff now, you just have to tell Claude to do it.”
New Skill-Gated Course
James briefly mentioned a new course he created with 6 skills built in, where “the skills are the course.” He offered it to Kelly to work through after she finishes her Zoom content repurposing.
Key Takeaways
- Gemini + NotebookLM is a powerful combo for extracting specific segments from video and turning them into visual content
- Zoom transcripts can be fed directly into NotebookLM as sources for infographic generation
- Claude automation handles the publishing and promotion steps — community posts, emails, coupons — so you focus on the creative decisions
- Content repurposing workflow: Record → Extract transcript → Feed to NotebookLM → Generate infographic/summary → Publish via Claude
Action Items
- Kelly: Use the NotebookLM workflow to create an infographic from her Wednesday Zoom lesson recording
- Kelly: Prepare content for further processing, discuss progress on Monday
- James: Upload session recording and transcription to the campus
