I've been using Google's Gemini Pro AI at Google's AI Studio to summarize core concepts and extract useful insights from YouTube videos, books, and research publications. To ensure I do this effectively, I've created specific prompts. I use Claude for reasoning tasks, as I find Anthropic's AI system excels in this area. However, Google's AI system is superior at handling long context windows (2M tokens at the time of writing, Sept 2024).

I watched Anthropic's video on their recent AI Prompt Engineering deep dive. Using the techniques discussed, I generated prompts with Claude that I'll now apply to Gemini for my research workflow.
