What the agreement says, with the article in front of you

So, on to Marta's use case. First, Marta had last year's collective agreement, so she's going to add it: the 2023 one. She had it in Drive. If we come here, My Drive, Agreement, there it is. You insert it, and you have a source. But she also wants to add the 2026 agreement, which has just come out, by adding a website source: paste, insert. It links directly to the BOE (Spanish official gazette), and it will be able to read it without any problem. It's already recognising it: the first was the previous agreement, the second the 2023 one, and now we have the 2026 one. You can query a single document if you like, or all of them, or several, however you want. That's interesting too. So let's see the first interaction Marta wants to have. Of course, you can also customise the agreement notebook: give it a cover or upload an image, give it a different name, and set up a default configuration, summaries and a few other things you can play with. We won't touch them. Another interesting thing is that you can have a notebook and share it: you can add people directly with the link, or through other methods, as you do with documents. You can also configure the chat, which we're going to do now. We can also copy the notebook, look at analytics, and the app's own settings, which are still here. So, first let's configure the chat, in terms of the goal, style or role of the conversation. It can be the default, for research or general brainstorming; for learning, recommended for educational content, because it helps you understand new concepts and acquire skills efficiently; or you can make it custom. In this case, we'll give it a short prompt, which we have here. We paste it and say: you help a small veterinary clinic query its collective agreement. Answer only with what the sources in this notebook say. Always say which document and article each thing comes from. If the sources... sorry, it's a bit small. If the sources disagree on the same topic, don't pick one: show me both and tell me which is the most recent. If something isn't in the sources, say so and don't fill it in. Short answers in Spanish. We save it. There was also an option to configure the response length. We can leave it as default or make it short. We've already given it an instruction here, and it should respect it; if not, you can set it here. OK, we save. What's Marta's next step? Marta first wants to ask about what Sara told her. Is there any leave if your pet dies? Remember, this chat has three differences from the general chat you could use in Gemini. What are they? It answers from your sources, not from what it knows in general. Second, it shows you where each sentence comes from. And this stays, stays saved. We already have it as a notebook and can return whenever we want. This is the most important part. So let's see what it tells us. It runs the query, and you can see it searching its sources. In the second agreement, it tells us no leave is provided for, but in the third, one day of paid leave is recognised if a domestic animal dies, belonging to the worker, their spouse or domestic partner. To take it, they must prove ownership and present the animal's health card and the document certifying its death. It's the most recent document. Here's the reference; we could look it up. And it asks: would you like to check the requirements for this leave, or any other paid leave from work? Well, we could, although we already know it here, don't we? It has already told us a number of things, but we could continue. You can see it's also somewhat proactive, suggesting other or complementary questions. As I said, we always have citations showing which document it comes from. Here we could see the document itself, OK? See the source. We have few in this case, but it tells us which source it is. OK, let's continue. What would Marta do next? She would ask: how much is paid per kilometre with your own car? That's the question Diego had asked. Let's look again. It tells us that in the second agreement, article 37, section 1, sets it at 0.22 per kilometre, but in the third agreement, article 37, section 1, sets it at 0.26 per kilometre. The third agreement is the most recent, of course. Do you need to check travel allowances or any other transport item? Well, we can keep interacting if we need to. As I said, if you want to see the source, come here and click. You also get a summary of the source, and it tells you here article 36 with article 37.1, where all this information is. It's all taken from agreement 3. If we want, we can ask the same question, having unchecked the old one. As it looks in just one, it won't give us the information from the first. As you can see, we get a much shorter answer, more specific and from this agreement only. So far, the big advantage is that we avoid searching and avoid leaving the information we need. And it's much easier to compare documents that we have in our sources, or sources in general. But now we'll do something nobody would do by hand, because the agreement is very long: we said it's 70-odd pages. We want a summary for the team's noticeboard. We'll check both of the ones we have here again, and I want a study of what's new in the agreement, OK? I'll do it as an infographic, so we go to Infographic and see the options it gives us. First, it asks which language we want; we can get it in different languages. Landscape, portrait or square? Let's ask for portrait. We can ask for a visual style, either automatic or one of these predefined ones. There are several; there can be more. If you like, we can use this more professional one, or something like a sketch, if you prefer, or whatever you like, or even a surprise. Let's leave the professional one, for example. For detail, we can choose concise, standard or detailed. We can select the sources right here. Sorry: portrait, sources, and we ask for standard. And here is something people almost always... almost never do: give a good prompt so the infographic is exactly what we want. This is where you have to make a little effort and give instructions, as always, so the AI produces what we want. I'll paste the prompt, which you'll have in the lesson so you can see it. We can create a vertical infographic, your agreement and so on, put in what we're after here, and generate it now. Here you also have a block showing our AI usage. We have a quota, as I told you, and we've already used a bit. The estimated usage for this infographic goes up to here. But if we were near the limit, we could generate it later: in each cycle of 5 hours, I think it is, you get credits to use it. With a paid account, you normally have more capacity. We generate now and it starts generating the infographic. In a little while, we'll have it. Well, here you have it. It took a little while, OK? Free accounts do take longer; they put it in a queue, so it takes a bit more time. Here's the summary of the third veterinary agreement, where it produces an infographic for us. It's a bit of a cliché; you've surely seen many of these in posts on social networks and so on, but you have it as a more attractive format if you want. It covers block 1, on salaries and mileage; block 2, on the reduction in annual working hours that will happen progressively until 2028; the 10% irregular distribution that's allowed; breaks, rest periods and the holidays shown here; block 3, on leave for the death of a pet, personal matters, doctor's appointments and school meetings; and then family leave for the birth of a child, breastfeeding, single-parent families and so on, which are fairly common across all agreements. But you have it here, and of course you can always interact with it, OK? Whenever you need to, you can come here and download it, work on it, ask it to change it, and do different things. Here I also made a direct comparison while it was generating: I asked for a table with all the differences between both agreements, in summary. It covers mileage, ordinary working hours, irregular distribution, the limit on on-call hours, leave for the death of a pet, leave for disasters or adverse weather, comparing agreement 2 with agreement 3. And there you have it. You can see it's a quick way to extract information and make comparisons and so on. In the next lessons, we'll look at other features with other use cases and so on. I think it'll be a tool you'll like and be able to put to good use. I'll say goodbye now. See you next week.

Well, in this part of Phase 2 we're going to do a series on a rather interesting tool called Gemini Notebook. This tool used to be called NotebookLM, but it's now part of the Gemini ecosystem, and I think it can be quite useful for you. The address is simply notebook.google.com, and it's included with your Google account. With a free account, you have lower limits; with a paid account, you have higher limits. Here in settings, the first thing I recommend is the output language: set it to Spanish, or whichever language you want to use. Sorry, just a second. Spanish, OK? The rest is also here in settings, along with your usage and a few other things. On the main page there are two sections. First, a section of featured notebooks. These are other people's notebooks, on general topics. Have a look if you like; there are interesting things, nothing to do with veterinary medicine, but general-interest topics that could be useful. You can't edit them, but you can ask questions and do things with them. The other thing you can do is create your own notebook, OK? The big difference with this tool is that the chat only deals with the sources you upload. On the notebook's main screen you can do several things. First, give it a name. We're going to start creating the practice notebook, which we'll call Veterinary Collective Agreement. Here we can add sources, and also search for them. We can search on the web or in our Drive, and run a quicker search or a deeper one that produces reports and so on. When adding sources, we can add several types. We can add a direct search, as I said. We can upload files in quite a lot of formats. We can upload websites or YouTube links to a video, which it will analyse too. There's also a section they released recently called Books, or Play Books, with paid books you can browse. There are different sections you can look through, and they're of course paid, but once you've paid, you have the rights to use them. We can also upload files from our Drive, or directly copy and paste plain text, or text from any document we have. And these will be the sources we're going to use. As I was saying, the big difference from general-purpose chats is that answers are based solely and exclusively on the sources we give it. It won't go beyond them. Then, in the centre, you'll find the usual chat area, where we can ask questions, ask for things that interact with the sources, come up with ideas, look things up, whatever we want, always based on this content. And finally, there's a Studio area, where we can generate things, OK? We can generate content and presentations, audio, maps, a lot of videos, a lot of things we'll see, which is the spirit of this series in Phase 2: getting more than just answers. Also getting, in this case, multimedia files or formats we can use in our day-to-day work. Another interesting thing, and why it's now called Gemini Notebook, is that in Gemini itself, if you have an account, there's a Notebooks section where your notebooks appear and you can interact with them, OK? Keep that in mind, because you can use it both ways. This is interesting because it's a way of narrowing down answers and the functions we have inside the chat. And now we'll create the El Roble notebook for this first use case and see how useful it can be.
