NotebookLM: How Google’s AI-powered note-taking app ‘took off’ by adding audio - First launched last year, the app went viral in September after it added an audio feature that created podcast-like files from user notes.

Google is adding exciting new features to its unique AI model, NotebookLM. The most important is the ability to customize the overview content.

Google’s NotebookLM software just got some cool new features that primarily impact audio overviews. For the uninitiated, the platform’s Audio Overview tool uses AI to whip up an audio summary of a piece of content.

Google will soon offer a paid version of its AI research tool NotebookLM, specifically targeting businesses. NotebookLM Business will have “enhanced features for businesses, universities, and organizations.” For now, access to NotebookLM Business is through a pilot program for early access to its features, training and email support.

NotebookLM, Google's AI-powered teaching tool is getting some upgrades. When we say teaching tool, that sounds rather dry, but in reality, NotebookLM is a mindblowing platform that generates an Audio Overview of two AI voices explaining source material in a podcast deep dive format.

Google’s NotebookLM now lets you customize its podcast-like Audio Overviews. Before you generate a discussion using the note-taking app, you can give your AI hosts instructions about what topic you’d like them to focus on, or even tailor their discussions for different audiences.
