Educator uploads the class schedule to Gemini Notebook (NotebookLM) and gets a schedule infographic, plus a workaround for the daily limit

An educator uploaded the class schedule to Gemini Notebook, formerly NotebookLM, and asked for a graphic of it; the first vague request missed the class times, a more specific retry worked, and when they hit the 3-infographics-a-day cap they shared the notebook with a colleague to make the next one.

TL;DR

What did @alicekeeler use NotebookLM for?

An educator uploaded the class schedule to Gemini Notebook, formerly NotebookLM, and asked for a graphic of it; the first vague request missed the class times, a more specific retry worked, and when they hit the 3-infographics-a-day cap they shared the notebook with a colleague to make the next one. The first try gave a nice infographic without the class times; the retry did a great job. The late-start version hit the limit of 3 infographics a day, so their tip is to share the notebook with a teacher who isn't using their infographics that day and have them generate it.

What they did

They uploaded the class schedule to the notebook and asked it to create a graphic of it. The first request wasn't specific enough, so they asked again more precisely. They then needed a second version for the late-start schedule.

How it went

The first try gave a nice infographic without the class times; the retry did a great job. The late-start version hit the limit of 3 infographics a day, so their tip is to share the notebook with a teacher who isn't using their infographics that day and have them generate it.

Worth knowing

  • Be specific about what must appear (periods, start and end times), or it may leave key details out. They found a limit of 3 infographics per day, so plan which versions you need first.

Try it yourself

Paste this into a chatbot, then add your own details underneath.

Create an infographic of this class schedule. It must show every period name with its exact start and end times, in order, in large readable text, plus lunch and passing periods. Title it '[School name] Regular Schedule'. Don't add anything that isn't in the source.
