Google’s NotebookLM can now make narrated slideshows with AI

Google's NotebookLM is introducing a new Video Overviews feature that uses AI to create slideshows with narration. This feature, currently available in English, allows users to generate visual aids to help illustrate points, explain data, demonstrate processes, and make abstract concepts more tangible. Google plans to expand support for "more languages" in the future and introduce "additional formats" as well. Additionally, the company is updating the NotebookLM's Studio tab, which is where users can create various outputs like Audio and Video Overviews, study guides, and briefing documents. The biggest change is the ability to "create and store multiple studio outputs of the same type in a single notebook." The Studio tab is also getting a visual refresh, with four tiles for making Audio Overviews, Video Overviews, Mind Maps, and Reports. These changes will roll out to all users over the next few weeks.
