Google is adding more features to its NotebookLM software — the targeted workspace where users can gather information on specific subjects, understand it, and use generative AI (genAI) to analyze reference documents, brainstorm ideas and generate summaries.
Users can load complex reference documents into Google’s NotebookLM and now generate AI video summaries from documents. Before, users could only create audio or text summaries. The new feature is targeted at those who prefer viewing slideshows or video snippets.
“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,” Google said in a blog post detailing the new feature.
