Our multimedia company, Talking Glass Media (TGM), is always on the lookout for new technology that supports a strong community. As we all learn what “AI” is about, our tech pros at TGM are experimenting with new APPS within the AI world to discover new efficiencies in storytelling and information sharing. Recently, the TGM team produced a podcast covering the exciting work Yavapai College is doing in the realm of artificial intelligence. One of the programs the college has been experimenting with is Google’s NotebookLM.

According to Google’s “AI Overview”, “NotebookLM is an AI-powered research assistant that helps users understand complex information by:
- Becoming an expert: NotebookLM can become an expert in uploaded sources, such as documents, PDFs, txt, markdown, and audio files
- Summarizing information: NotebookLM can summarize information, answer questions, and generate new ideas based on uploaded sources
- Collaborating: Users can collaborate with NotebookLM to refine and organize their ideas
- Creating notebooks: Users can create notebooks and interact with their content sources
- Responding with citations: NotebookLM can respond with citations
NotebookLM’s features include:
- Audio Overviews: Users can provide instructions for AI hosts and listen to audio while working within NotebookLM
- NotebookLM Plus: A premium version with more features and usage limits
- Topic-based notebooks: Users can create topic- or project-based notebooks
NotebookLM is grounded in your sources and will not use your personal data to train it. However, as voice cloning technology evolves, there are ethical challenges around content authenticity and intellectual property protection. You can learn more about NotebookLM at notebooklm.google.”
