Fill the holes in your class notes from the assigned reading
Your notes and the reading now sit in the same place, so the AI can see both and fill the gaps with citations.

How can AI fill in the gaps in my class notes?
Put your notes and the course reading in the same Gemini Notebook and ask it to fill what you missed, with citations. As of October 2026, notes you create from the Sources panel are visible to the notebook's chat, so it can compare them with the reading. This suits adult learners in a course or certification. If you have a recording instead of notes, a transcript-based summary fits better.

This AI can't be filled in from a link, so the button copies your prompt: paste it into the new chat.
The prompt that gets copied
My class notes from [CLASS NAME, e.g. week 4 of my bookkeeping course] are in my notes. The assigned reading is in my sources. Please: 1. Go through my notes in order and fill in anything I wrote down only partly, using the reading. Cite the source for each addition. 2. List the key ideas from the reading that are missing from my notes entirely, in the order they appear. 3. Point out anything in my notes that doesn't match the reading, so I can check it with the instructor. 4. Finish with five short questions I should be able to answer if I really understood this class. Keep my own wording where it's right. Mark everything you added so I can see what's mine and what came from the reading.
Write or paste your messy class notes into Gemini Notebook next to the course reading. It fills in what you missed, with citations back to the exact pages.
Step by step

- Click Create Note at the top of the Sources panel and paste in your class notes.
- Paste the prompt into the chat and fill in the class name.

Notes moving into the Sources panel is rolling out in October 2026, so the chat can read them. Your layout may differ for a while.
