Google NotebookLM – New Features Overview

1. Video Overview — Google NotebookLM AI-Narrated Slideshows

google NotebookLM now includes Video Overviews, enabling the creation of AI-generated narrated slide presentations that pull visuals, diagrams, quotes, and data directly from your uploaded content. Think of it as a visual alternative to Audio Overviews, designed to explain data, processes, and abstract ideas more clearly. Users can customize the output by setting learning goals, specifying topic focus, and defining the intended audience.

2. Redesigned Studio Panel

The Studio panel now features four distinct tiles for easy creation: Audio Overviews, Video Overviews, Mind Maps, and Reports. You can now create and store multiple outputs of the same type (e.g., several Video Overviews) within a single notebook.
