  • NotebookLM can now generate audio discussions based on your topics with the click of a button.
  • The discussions feature two AI hosts who summarize the provided information and banter back and forth.
  • The feature is currently limited to discussions in English and you can’t interrupt the AI hosts mid-discussion.

Google expanded the availability of its AI-powered research and writing assistant, NotebookLM, to over 200 countries earlier this year and upgraded it with Gemini 1.5 Pro to unlock even more capabilities. Now, the company has introduced a new feature that can convert your documents, slides, and charts into audio discussions.

Google says NotebookLM’s new Audio Overview feature generates a deep dive discussion based on the sources in your notebook. The audio discussion has two AI hosts who “summarize your material, make connections between topics, and banter back and forth.” You can also download and share the Audio Overviews with your peers.
