Google NotebookLM made an entire podcast from my notes in just a few clicks

Gemini, Google’s general purpose AI assistant (and family of multimodal AI models) might get all the attention, but NotebookLM, an AI-powered productivity tool Google first introduced in 2023, is by far the company’s most interesting application of generative AI. Not because it’s amazingly capable, but because it’s deliberately limited, focused even, not on an internet-sized dataset, but instead sources you provide. It can create summaries and answer questions about whatever material you bring, and as of Sept. 2024, also create podcasts based on those sources too.
