About Gemini 2.5 Pro's video-to-learning-app feature tried on Stanford lectures.

The "video to learning app" feature is a cool concept (see it in AI Studio). I just passed in two separate Stanford lectures to see if it could come up with an interesting interactive app. The apps it generated weren't too useful, but I can see with more focus and development, it'd be a game changer for education.

An AI turns a recorded lecture video into a genuinely useful interactive learning app.
