## **Generating Speaker Notes**

Gemini's sidebar chat can do much more than generate slides. It also serves as a conversational assistant that can help you prepare your presentation, research topics, and develop new ideas.

One useful application is generating speaker notes. By asking Gemini what you could say when presenting a slide, it can draft a suggested script based on the slide's content. You can then review, edit, and copy this text into the speaker notes section to help prepare your presentation.

## **Brainstorming New Ideas**

The sidebar chat is also valuable for brainstorming. If you're unsure how to improve or expand a presentation, you can ask Gemini for suggestions. It can propose additional topics, supporting material, or new sections that could strengthen the overall presentation.

Once you've identified an idea you like, you can continue the conversation by asking Gemini to develop it further, such as drafting content for a new slide. This conversational workflow makes it easy to refine your presentation step by step while staying focused on your overall goals.

By combining research, idea generation, and speaker note drafting in one place, Gemini's sidebar chat helps you create more complete and engaging presentations.
