How to turn your week of Readwise highlights into an audio briefing

Save and highlight in Readwise Reader, let the highlights sync into a Notion database, and every Friday feed the week's batch to Gemini Notebook for a custom Audio Overview that argues with what you read.

The steps, in outline

  1. Read and highlight in Reader (Readwise Reader, 5 min to set up)
  2. Turn on the Notion export (Readwise + Notion, 5 min)
  3. Add a "This week" view (Notion, 5 min)
  4. Make the Friday notebook (Gemini Notebook, 10 min)
  5. Ask the library questions (any time)
