From an earlier video
This is material from an earlier video — the interfaces and features of AI services may have changed since. The idea and the approach still hold.
What it looks like in Gemini?
🎮 Why just study, when you can play?
Gemini lets you turn lectures, podcasts and PDFs into real interactive games.
🧠 Why make games in Gemini?
We remember better when we interact.
Gemini can turn an ordinary lecture into:
- a quiz with difficulty levels,
- a learning game with progress,
- a trainer with live feedback,
- an exam or interview simulator.
💡 The key difference from ChatGPT: Gemini has more memory and holds the game’s structure better, plus it’s more creative → the games even come with sound.
📥 What do you need?
- Text or a PDF (e.g. a lecture or article)
- Gemini with access to Canvas Mode
- A prompt to generate the game
You can use the same prompt as in ChatGPT — Prompt for building games in Gemini & ChatGPT
💬 You can also add:
- “Test the student’s knowledge like a teacher”
- “Create a quiz with a summary and explanations”
How it looks for me:
🧪 You can even build a game from a YouTube video
It may not work right away, like with a PDF:
- In that case we simply ask it to extract insights from the video
- We ask it to build a game based on those insights, using Canvas mode
- Here’s how it turned out for me:
🔁 The next level? Just ask
Gemini can suggest on its own:
-
Another 10 questions
-
An analysis of the player’s mistakes
-
A new game based on other material
Example request:
Next level. Another 5 questions on the topic, but harder. Use cases from the text.
