Hi everyone,

I have often that I wanted to learn something or do research on specific ideas I have. Therefore I sometimes use Gemini Deep Search (depends on the topic). I'm trying to find the most efficient way to use and learn from that report. Now I mostly do it as described below but I'm not sure if this is the best way in 2026. What do you use? Is my workflow still relevant in 2026 or are there better ways? And would it be any useful to let NotebookLM deep search again with the Gemini report uploaded as a basic?

I use Gemini Deep Research to make a report on a specific topic/research.
Export report to NotebookLM.
Use NotebookLM's Q&A, video overview, podcast, etc to understand the sources.
Create articles/deck/report using NotebookLM's studio mode

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I’m feeling a bit lost regarding which tools to use, so I’m hoping some of you might have tips for me. I enjoy building things with AI as a hobby; however, I am still quite inexperienced. While I’ve experimented a lot, I haven't built a finished product yet. For now, I’m just exploring, but eventually, I would like to create something for a wider audience.

I want to start by developing an expanded Idle Clicker game. I was playing one recently and thought: "Could I build this myself using AI?" I have a big vision for it: multiple areas to explore and unlock, along with a leveling, upgrade, and prestige system. All while the world evolves around the player.

My current toolkit:

AI: Gemini Pro (including Google Antigravity) & Claude Pro
Engine/Environment: Godot & Node.js
Editor: Visual Studio Code

My Question: What workflow would you recommend, and in what order? For example: should I use Gemini for brainstorming and Claude for coding, then build it within Google Antigravity? Or would you approach this differently?

If you recommend entirely different software or AI tools, please let me know why they would be a better fit than what I’m currently using. Since I am in the learning phase, I want to keep costs manageable (I currently only pay for Gemini Pro and Claude Pro).

Thanks in advance for helping me get started!
