Google enhanced this month its AI-research assistant and note-taking tool NotebookLM, allowing users to create shareable notebooks and audio discussions, and extract summaries and key points from YouTube videos and audio files.

NotebookLM also gets AI-based summarization in languages that are different from what they set on the tool.

It’s powered by the multimodal LLM Gemini 1.5 Pro.

The search giant company plans to broaden the use cases and reach of the tool, which was originally launched by Google Labs as a project for educators and learners at its I/O developer conference last year.

NotebookLM Audio Overview was added recently. It allows users to turn their documents into engaging audio discussions and share them with a public URL.

Google said that professionals are uploading web pages, resumes, and presentations on NotebookLM to generate Audio Overviews, then sharing those with their employers, colleagues, or clients.

NotebookLM provides clickable citations from the content users upload, letting users go deeper into the summarized notes.
