Sometimes you just have to see what happens… and have a little fun along the way. 😏

That’s exactly what I did this week with Google’s NotebookLM — their shiny new feature for creating professional-sounding AI-narrated VIDEO summaries with slides. 🎙️🖼️


Stress Test #1 🎯

I fed it the YouTube URL for a 2.5-hour Diary of a CEO podcast episode featuring three major marketing mavens I respect: Alex Hormozi, Codie Sanchez, and Daniel Priestley.

NotebookLM crunched the whole thing down into a 7-minute narrated slideshow — with the same natural, hard-to-believe AI voice quality you might know from NotebookLM's famous Audio Summaries. 🎧

That little video experiment pulled in almost 800 YouTube views in just a few days. 🚀


Stress Test #2 🚀

I got personal(ly meaningful) ❤️ — uploading the knowledge base from my Prompted to Create course. (The same knowledge base that I provide as a value add for course participants.)

Now… NotebookLM won’t directly promote products, so I had to play a little cat-and-mouse with the prompts. 🐭

Three iterations later, I had a Video Overview version I loved:
AI for Marketers: Get in the Game. 🏆


Here’s what both experiments reminded me:

💡 AI is powerful — but the magic happens when you play, iterate, and get strategic.

I walk you through the whole process described above (and my surprises) in this video:

It expanded it. And AI is doing the same — especially when it comes to video. That’s...
