A free playground on Gemini with a 1M-token window and a visible token counter — the course's build bench for prompt work.
You have a big document to process once and don't want to spend paid tokens doing it — the trainer builds his meta prompt here for exactly that reason.
Visible token counter — you watch a 38k-token PDF land, which teaches context spend better than any explanation
1M context on a free account
No subscription needed to do serious one-off document work
Runs Gemini with uploaded files in a playground interface
Shows exact token consumption per attachment
Hosts the home-project contract-analysis RAG from BC1
Doesn't guarantee availability on free accounts — it errored mid-demo and the trainer had to switch accounts
Doesn't replace a real assistant for daily work; it's a bench, not a workshop
One-off heavy-document jobs: build a meta prompt, analyse a stack of contracts, test a long-context idea before paying for it.

A sensible free bench if a task ever needs a whole transcript in one window.
Concrete use: paste a full condensed transcript plus the extraction schema here to sanity-check an extraction without spending Fable budget.
