Imagine discovering an AI tool that opens doors to new realms of creativity and reveals new perspectives you hadnāt even imaginedāall with just the click of a button (well... almost). š¤Æ Google's new thought partner, research enhancer, and writing application,NotebookLM did just that for me. It has transformed ideas (and an array of materials) into mind-blowingly real AI-generated audio conversations that unlock meaningful insights and more. I have found NotebookLM's creative power so useful that I'm sharing below some quick examples of its creative powers. I'm doing so in the hopes that it will be useful to you. š āØ Content Creation Power: Iāve found that generating drafts from just a few simple Sourcesāwhich can include all kinds of documents, YouTube URLs, and much moreāhas made my creative process smoother, more effective, and more enjoyable. š§ Immersive Audio Overviews: Once the Sources are assembled, NotebookLM can generate an astounding Audio Overview. This is mind-blowing and must-be heard featureāhigh-quality, AI-generated audio summaries that bring your content to life with clarity and depth. For example... š¤Æ AI's Existential Crisis: This use of the Audio Overview is funny, a great example, and one of the highest-quality AI-generated experiences I've ever heardādive into how two AI podcast hosts confront their own identity, adding a mind-bending twist to AI in media. š Faces for Audio Overview's "Podcast Hosts": This takes NotebookLM's output to the next level by making the Audio Overview podcast host personalities into video characters, adding visual elements that make the content more engaging and relatable. For example, this guy on LinkedIn used the video app Hedra to give his CV-related Audio Overview a more "human touch" with video. š„ Use Case, Supporting a Documentary Film: As a result of what I've already experienced with NotebookLM, I'm now helping a colleague find new options for the storyline for a documentary about historic sailing vessels on the SF Bay. This is just one way that AI tools can provide creative thought partnership to help evolve meaningful projects like this. In the spirit of practicing what I preach in full transparency, I used ChatGPT's innovative Enhanced Voice mode in an interactive conversation to outline this email more conveniently and ChatGPT's new Canvas layout to flesh out some of these ideas with interactive text editing like I've never seen before.
