TL;DR
- Google’s NotebookLM analysis assistant already presents Audio Overviews, which successfully creates podcasts out of your knowledge.
- Now the device seems to be engaged on Video Overviews, as nicely, although precisely how they work stays speculative.
- NotebookLM may additionally provide a public gallery of curated “Editor’s picks.”
Right here at Android Authority, we’re some severe NotebookLM stans. Google’s AI-powered analysis collaborator debuted final yr, and we haven’t appeared again. We love NotebookLM as a productiveness booster, make use of it internally to shortly reference crucial documentation, and have been simply totally blown away by how cool listening to its “digital podcast” Audio Overviews could be. Understandably, we’re tremendous excited to find out about what’s coming subsequent, and it appears like Google could also be about to take Audio Overviews to its subsequent logical evolution.
One among Google’s extra superior AI efforts to emerge has been the Veo 2 video era mannequin, letting customers create quick video clips based mostly on their prompts. Now TestingCatalog has uncovered proof that means Google could also be about to supercharge NotebookLM with Veo 2-powered Video Overviews.
The location was poking round NotebookLM’s internet interface and managed to floor a brand new choice in the appropriate “Studio” panel for Video Overviews, proper subsequent to the place we at the moment discover Audio Overviews.
As for the way this may work, the report will get way more speculative — it doesn’t sound like several of this performance is definitely operational simply but. Proper now, the movies you may generate with Veo 2 are restricted to simply a number of seconds lengthy, and nowhere close to the size we’re used to from Audio Overviews. It feels unlikely that we’re about to expertise a sea change in what Google is ready to accomplish right here, so maybe Video Overviews may fuse shorter clips with longer, overarching audio narration.
Along with uncovering that work in direction of Video Overviews, TestingCatalog additionally highlights a brand new “Editor’s picks” class for saved notebooks. Whereas this one additionally doesn’t seem like working simply but, the truth that we’re even speaking about editorial curation may simply indicate that Google is engaged on a public approach to share pocket book sources and spotlight the very best and most helpful amongst them.
Contemplating that is the primary we’re seeing of both of those, it nonetheless may be slightly early to count on both to go official at Google I/O later this month, however we will at all times dream.
