Google adds customization controls for Gemini Notebook slide decks and video overviews

If you use artificial intelligence to build presentations, you know the frustration of waiting for an automated result that misses the mark. Google is rolling out new customization features for Google Gemini's Notebook function, giving users direct control over slide decks and video overviews, according to XDA. Before this update, the system generated results instantly without letting you steer the direction. Now, the platform suggests topics based on your uploaded sources and lets you pick exactly where you want the assets to focus. A new Review toggle takes this a step further by letting you inspect outline notes for slides and producer notes for videos in the studio panel. You can type in extra feedback, such as asking for an executive summary at the start or rearranging the order of a scene, before the system renders the final file. If you already know what you want from the start, you can simply turn off the review toggle and let Gemini handle the heavy lifting without asking any more questions. For anyone running a busy office in Lakewood or Brooklyn who spends hours prompting and re-prompting AI tools to get a clean pitch deck, these new guide rails save valuable time. Check your Google account settings this week to see if the new review toggle has landed in your workspace.
