Google’s AI podcast tool NotebookLM is rolling out a new feature that can generate narrated slides with AI called Video Overviews. The update will be available in English now and expanded to other languages soon.
“You can think of these as a visual alternative to Audio Overviews: the AI host creates new visuals to help illustrate points while also pulling in images, diagrams, quotes and numbers from your documents. This makes it uniquely effective for explaining data, demonstrating processes and making abstract concepts more tangible,” a blog posted by the company said.
They also shared that additional formats will be added eventually.
Until now, NotebookLM allowed users to create different versions like Audio Overviews, Mind Maps and Study Guides but separately for each per notebook. But now users can create and “store multiple studio outputs of the same type in a single notebook.”
The Studio panel on the tool has been revamped now to show four categories – Audio Overviews, Video Overviews, Mind Maps and Reports, which will have the content created. Users can also multitask within the Studio panel by working on say Audio Overviews and Reports at the same time.
The refreshed Studio panel will be rolling out to all users over the next few weeks.
