Legislative Experiments With Gemini: Turning An Entire Day Of San Francisco Government TV (SFGOVTV) Into Infographics

Earlier today we demonstrated transforming several local government meetings broadcast on the San Francisco Government TV (SFGovTV) channel into beautiful easy-to-understand visual infographics. What would it look like to visualize an entire day of San Francisco Government TV broadcasts as infographics to help the city's residents better understand the functioning of their government? The results below showcase the incredible potential of visualizing democracy as infographics. Only the public enterprise Gemini and Nano Banana APIs were used and no data was used to train or tune any model. The results below present the direct output of Nano Banana Pro as-is without any human editing and thus may contain errors.

To explore this concept of visualizing an entire day of SFGOVTV, let's look at how the day's broadcasts currently appear in the Visual Explorer as thumbnails. While this table of contents accurately captures the look-and-feel of each broadcast, it does little to tell us what was actually discussed.

Let's transform each of these broadcasts into infographics by providing the transcript of each to Nano Banana Pro along with the following prompt:

Give me a prompt to create a large illustrated explainer poster designed to be printed on a large-format poster printer and hung up on the wall that narrates the attached broadcast as a single large poster that can be printed and hung on a wall that outlines all of the core details. Focus on the entire broadcast.
