As you know, I’m facilitating a few sessions this coming week at the TCEA 2026 Convention and Exposition. I had an idea for making all of my session content available for you to interact with and query. After all, going in-depth and making changes to your practice takes time. So, a tool you can use is a Google Gemini Gem that is “fed” by NotebookLMs created for each of my sessions. One Gem, multiple NotebookLM notebooks. This blog entry explores that Gem.

To access the content (e.g. slides, resources), you will want to bookmark the main session resources link shown above.

In the meantime…give this a try. Here’s a quick video walkthrough of the Session Assistant Gem you can watch to see how it works:

TCEA26 MGuhlin Sessions Assistant

I set up this Gemini Gem with access to my sessions. It mostly works well, but it may mix up acronyms (hey, there’s a LOT of content for the GenAI to work through on the backend). I’m also uncertain how well it will work with free Google (consumer version) Gemini accounts, which is what you have if you’re not paying for it.
