NotebookLM is getting AI video explainers, and they look surprisingly useful
NotebookLM is a great audio learning tool; now it's time for video.
- NotebookLM users will soon be able to generate Video Overviews using uploaded sources like PDFs or photos.
- The feature could be useful for topics that benefit from a visual learning medium.
- Audio Overviews are also set to receive duration controls.
NotebookLM is one of Google’s more useful AI products, which I use often to comb through reams of information. This week, Google pushed out its new Android app, which makes accessing the tool on mobile a little easier. Following a leak suggesting the feature’s arrival earlier this month, the Google product has confirmed that Video Overviews will soon become a part of its larger offering.
Currently, NotebookLM can generate Audio Overviews based on the information contained within sources you upload to its notebooks. Essentially AI-generated podcasts, these overviews are pretty useful for learning about specific topics. However, some topics would no doubt benefit from visual explainers instead. That’s where Video Overviews come in.
