NotebookLM Just Got a Major Upgrade - Video Overviews

Notebook LM just introduced one of the most impressive updates that I've seen inside of Notebook LM and inside of pretty much any AI app. I think you're really going to like this one. Okay, right now this is getting rolled out. I have it in my free Notebook LM accounts. I don't have it in my paid Notebook LM accounts. And they did refresh the entire UI here. So you'll see the studio tab right here looks a lot different, right? But what I want to show you is this option right here called video overview. So this is how it works. I'll just kind of give you a quick brief recap on Notebook LM. So what I did was with Notebook LM, you could create these notebooks. Inside of each notebook, you could add sources. And sources could be all kinds of different documents. With the free account, you could have 50 sources per notebook. With the paid one, you could have 300. And again, it could be all kinds of different things from YouTube videos to PDFs. What I did in this one was I actually added a huge source that I got from Google deep research inside of Gemini. So that is a really useful way to get something about a topic and that way I don't even have to have multiple sources. Over here I could chat with that document or all my sources here and get insights from it. And then we had before audio overview. So, audio overview actually in the background has been getting a huge upgrade. Let me show you what audio overview is. I had created one 64 days ago in this notebook. So, here's what it sounded like just 64 days ago. — Welcome to the deep dive. We're tackling uh a really big one today. The central role artificial intelligence is now playing in marketing. Okay, I already caught a couple of issues really unnatural um 64 days ago and it always started by saying welcome to the deep dive. Now, here is audio overview and by the way, you could just click this right here and it generates an audio overview. It's a podcast between two AI voices based on your sources. This is the new one. Okay, so we all know artificial intelligence is making waves, right? I mean, it's talked about everywhere often in these really grand abstract terms, future of work, future of humanity, that kind of thing, right? But what if we told you that actually AI has quietly, almost definitively cemented itself as the indispensable operating system really of modern marketing? You could already see that sounds a whole lot better. They also have this interactive mode that they are improving all the time where you could ask the podcaster questions. This is a really interesting option. I've covered in different videos. Now, video overview. If you click this, it will generate not only audio, but a video, kind of a PowerPoint to go along with it. Okay? And if you press these three dots, you could customize it. Here you could type in, for example, a target audience you want to focus on or a specific source if you have many sources here. Or you could describe the structure like a talking point here. And you could then generate. Right now, I just click to generate from scratch without any instructions. And I've already created a couple. I'm gonna show you this one right here. — Welcome to the explainer. You know, by 2025, artificial intelligence won't just be influencing marketing. It's set to become its entire operating system. Today, we're going to break down exactly what that paradigm shift means. So, let's start with the biggest takeaway, the central theme of this whole discussion. For anyone in marketing, using AI isn't an experiment anymore. It's not even a choice. The game has already changed. The only question left on the table is how deeply, how comprehensively you're going to embed it in everything you do. And here's our road map for today. We'll kick off with AI as the new baseline. Then we'll break down its four core powers. We'll dig into the weird paradox of measuring its ROI, explore where we humans fit in, and finally, we'll take a peek over the horizon at what's coming next. All right, let's dive right into our first section. The most important mindset shift is this. In 2025, using AI in your marketing isn't about getting a competitive advantage anymore. It is simply the new price of admission. AI has become a foundational layer, a totally non-negotiable part of the toolkit. — Okay, I think you get the point here. And I'll just kind of scrub through so you could see all these different slides and graphics that it just created with a single click. Now, another time I generated this, I actually got a male voice. I'll play a few seconds of this one. — All right, welcome to the explainer. Today, we're jumping right into a huge shift that's happening as we speak. — Okay, let me jump ahead on this one a little bit. I'll press play. — So, what does that baseline actually look like in the real world? Let's zoom in on how AI is supercharging the day-to-day work of a marketer. And it really boils down to two huge things. Automating all the routine stuff so you can focus on strategy and personalizing

customer experiences at a scale we've just never seen before. — I'm telling you, this is shockingly good. I'll put a link in the description to one of these videos so you could kind of watch it in full, get a good sense of it, and hopefully it's available to your account so you could again use this with your own sources. They've also released this discover tab since I recorded my deep dive notebook LM video. And this one lets you just pretty much use this instead of Google Gemini or something like that and then submit it and find sources directly that way instead of just manually adding sources on this page. So the discover sources is a very useful option as well. And if you want to dive deeper, I have a comprehensive 34 video course on Skillap and it's one of our highest rated courses. It actually only has five star reviews here. It's about 2 and 1/2 hours and I'm actually about to update it with this new release with some examples there. So, you could try this. This is completely free with a 7-day free trial if you want to go through this course. But in this platform, we have well over 25 courses right now. We release new ones every month and it's affordable subscription after that if you want to keep your access to all our existing courses plus all the new courses that get rolled out to Skill. I'll put that in the description too. Thanks so much for watching and check out my other notebook video that I recorded a few months
