Exciting news from NotebookLM! You now have more control over how your AI-generated Audio Overviews sound, and we’re launching NotebookLM Business—a special version designed for businesses, universities, and organizations.
NotebookLM: Your Personal AI-Powered Expert
NotebookLM is an advanced tool built with Gemini 1.5 that turns your personal notes and documents into actionable insights.
Whether you’re analyzing a research project or managing business data, NotebookLM grounds its responses in your material, making it your personal AI expert. Plus, your data is never used to train the system, keeping everything private and secure.
With millions already using NotebookLM, today marks a major milestone as we move beyond the “Experimental” phase, adding new features to make this powerful tool even more effective.
New Audio Overview Features: Tailor the Conversation
We’ve been thrilled by the positive response to Audio Overviews, and now we’re making them even better! Starting today, you can customize your Audio Overviews to suit your specific needs:
- Guide the Conversation: Before generating a “Deep Dive” Audio Overview, you can give the AI specific instructions. Want the discussion to focus on a certain topic or adjust the level of expertise? Now you can. It’s like passing the AI hosts a quick note before they start, ensuring they deliver exactly what you need.
- Background Listening: Multitasking made easy! Now you can listen to your Audio Overview while continuing to explore your sources, query your notes, and get citations—all without pausing the audio.
Here’s how to get started:
- Open NotebookLM and create a new notebook.
- Upload at least one source document.
- Choose either “Generate” for an automatic overview or “Customize” to provide tailored instructions for your AI hosts.
Remember, Audio Overviews offer a personalized discussion based on the sources you’ve provided. They’re not a comprehensive take but a reflection of the data you upload and the guidance you give.
