## How do I make a client explainer video from my own notes with AI?

Put your notes in Gemini Notebook and start a Video Overview, then pick the focus topic and edit the producer notes before you generate it. As of October 2026, this co-create step is for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers, and it works for Slide Decks too. Pick the video if clients will watch it before a first call. Pick the slide deck if you'll present it live. Either way, it only uses what's in your sources.

Fill in the parts in [square brackets], or leave them and the AI will ask you for them.

```text
Use this as my focus and producer notes for a short explainer video for new clients of [YOUR OFFER, e.g. a 12-week money coaching program]. Audience: [YOUR IDEAL CLIENT, e.g. freelancers who dread taxes]. Cover only [FOCUS TOPIC, e.g. what happens in week one]. Open with the problem they feel today in one line. Then walk through three steps in plain words, using only what's in my sources. Name one common mistake and how we avoid it. End with exactly what they should do before our first call: [FIRST ACTION, e.g. upload last year's statements]. Keep the tone warm and calm, and skip jargon.
