Method:

How we verify

Evidence: Described by posterThe person describes what happened in words, without screenshots or video.

Outcome

Organising a baby shower for three colleagues, a poster used Gemini's Storybook feature, with a photo and family names, to create a custom children's book for each family; they say the storylines were touching and the illustrations gorgeous. They also had Gemini write Family Feud-style survey questions and used NotebookLM for a comedy tribute video and an AI game-show co-host.

The source didn't share its exact prompt, so we wrote this from what it describes.

Before you start, ask me 1–3 short questions about anything important that's missing below. Keep them quick. Then do the task, checking in with me at the key points.

Goal: Create personalised keepsakes and a fun game for a baby shower.

What I can give you (ask for whatever's missing):
- Parents' and siblings' names
- A photo (with their permission)
- Tone (sweet, funny)
- Number of guests and party length

Rules:
- Write a short storybook celebrating the new arrival, using the names given.
- Keep it gentle and suitable to read to young kids.
- Make a list of 10 survey-style game questions with top answers.
- Let me review all text before anything is printed or shared.
- If a site asks for a login, a CAPTCHA or payment details, stop and hand control back to me.
- Ask for my OK before you pay, book, send, submit or cancel anything.
- Check facts that can change (prices, opening hours, dates, availability, rules) against the official source, and tell me anything you couldn't verify.

Output: A storybook draft and a game question list.

You'll know it worked when: each family gets a personal keepsake and the game runs smoothly.
