How to Save Time and Boost Creativity Using Google Gemini, Perplexity, and Notebook LM
Have you ever watched long videos, read many documents, or studied heavy research and still felt lost in making useful content? You are not the only one. Many people work hard to find simple ways to digest details and build clear materials. Three AI tools—Google Gemini, Perplexity, and Notebook LM—now work faster. They help you study, sum up, and make content in a clear way.
This guide shows how these tools count and work side by side. Use them to save hours each day, keep your work neat, and build better content at no extra cost.
1. Google Gemini: Sum Up Videos and Create Visuals in Seconds
Watching long videos and searching for a few good points wastes time. Google Gemini 2.5 now reads and sums up video links that you give it. Instead of watching a long video, Gemini finds five key points in a few seconds.
Gemini works not only with text; it works with images, code, and videos all at once. For example:
• Paste a YouTube link to get a rich summary in moments.
• Make branded images and graphics for social media.
• Create code snippets for developers.
• Save all your creations in a “Created By You” gallery for reuse.
Gemini sits inside Google products like Gmail, Docs, and Search. This step makes it simple for most users. The free version is plenty for light or pro use, while the paid version has extra tools—especially for code projects.
Use case: If you work on content about AI tools, Gemini can read ten related videos and give you a clear outline in about 10 minutes. This outline can serve as the base for blog posts, videos, or slides, saving you many hours.
2. Perplexity: Turn Text into Quick Videos with Sound and Join Your Workflow
Video creation can seem hard when you need to mix edits, add sound, or pick the best clips. Perplexity makes the work light. You type a short prompt, and Perplexity makes an 8-second video clip with sound in moments.
For example, you can ask it to make a short explainer video on a hard topic like blockchain without any video software.
Perplexity also ties in with apps like email, calendars, Notion, and GitHub. It can:
• Sum up your email inbox.
• Write quick replies.
• Pick out key points from your Notion pages.
Its improved image tool gives better control and clearer visuals. The tool learns your ways over time so that each use is a bit faster.
Use case: Picture a custom image made by Perplexity paired with a video clip that grabs attention on social media—all without the need to jump between several tools.
3. Notebook LM: Your One-Place AI Study Buddy
It is hard to mix many documents, PDFs, and web pages during research. Notebook LM brings them together. You upload your files and it turns them into video summaries, slides, or audio clips. It works in many languages to reach users around the world.
This tool does more than sum up. It helps you learn by using interactive parts:
• A guide mode that quizzes you and changes to fit what you know.
• Flashcards and quizzes that make learning fast and fun.
• Easy ways to share your notebooks and summaries with your team or crowd via simple links. This way, your notes turn into small sites.
This setup cuts research time and lets you share knowledge without hunting through many folders or apps.
Use case: When you must write on a new topic, load several articles and reports into Notebook LM, get a video overview, turn that into a script, and see your outline in half the time you normally spend.
How These Three Tools Work Side by Side
Each tool is best at one part of the work:
• Notebook LM takes the research and turns scattered texts into clear pieces.
• Google Gemini adds images, sums up videos, and draws key quotes from extra sources.
• Perplexity wraps things into neat short videos and joins with your apps to keep work neat.
Using them one after the other takes you from raw data to a full content piece fast. This works well for blogs, videos, social posts, or team shared notes.
What You Can Do Today
• Find a long video, article, or set of files you need to study better.
• Upload them to Notebook LM for an automatic video or audio summary.
• Use Gemini to pick out key points or create clear visual parts that match your work.

All these tools have free versions with many strong features. They work for almost any budget.
