Hear both sides of any issue argued fairly in one audio debate
Two hosts debate a question you care about using only your articles, and each one admits the other side's best point.
Published . Steps as of November 2026.
How can I hear both sides of an issue explained fairly?
Add a few articles that disagree to Gemini Notebook and have its Audio Overview (as of November 2026) stage a debate grounded in those sources. It fits best when you'd rather listen on a walk or drive than read four long pieces. If you want something to read instead, paste the articles and the same prompt into ChatGPT or Claude for a written two-sided debate. Either way, the answer is only as balanced as the sources you add.

Your prompt
Fill in your details. Skip any you like.
ChatGPT and Claude open with your prompt already typed in. Gemini Notebook can't be filled in from a link, so its button copies your prompt: paste it into the new chat.
The prompt that gets copied
Make this a fair debate about [THE QUESTION, e.g. should we switch to a heat pump]. One host argues [SIDE A, e.g. yes, it saves money long term], the other argues [SIDE B, e.g. no, the upfront cost is too high]. Each host must use only facts from the sources and say which source each point comes from. Give both sides equal time. Halfway through, have each host name the strongest point from the other side. End with a short recap of where the sources agree, where they truly disagree, and what facts would settle it. Keep it friendly, don't declare a winner, and keep it to about [AUDIO LENGTH, e.g. 10 minutes]. I'm [WHO YOU ARE, e.g. a homeowner on a budget], so explain any jargon.
Add articles that disagree to Gemini Notebook and get an Audio Overview where two hosts argue each side from the sources, then recap what would settle it.
