That's because I just realized we haven't talked about notebook L.M since November. I can't believe myself. Not only because it's one of my most used AI tools and probably a lot of yours as well, but because there's a handful of new features that I think you can't miss. because not only does this new set of updates in Notebook LM change where and how we can access it, but it also greatly increases the capabilities of what we can even produce with it. So if you have never heard of Notebook LM or if you're not sure, let's just say for the last two years, we've named it our AI tool of the year for different updates to and

within the platform. So it is a complete powerhouse. And even though we've had a lot going on here at Everyday AI with all the new big updates from the major model providers, we've been doing our start here series, our 2026 AI prediction and roadmap, enough. We have to dive into what's new in Notebook LM. Go over three notebook LM updates. You can't miss, including editable slides, mobile updates, and more. So let's jump into it. If you knew here, welcome. My name's Jordan. This is Everyday AI. This thing's for you. It's an unedited, unscripted, live stream podcast, helping everyday business leaders like you and me keep up with the nonstop AI updates. What's important? What's not? How to use it to grow our companies and career?

So if that's what you're trying to do, awesome. Join us. We're on this journey together. Starts here. But make sure you go and check out our website. Sign up for the free daily newsletter, Your EverydayAI.com. And we're going to be recapping today's show as well as all of the other news. You need to know to be the smartest person in AI at your company. Another thing that's going to help with that. Yeah, that vary 2026 AI prediction and roadmap series. If you haven't checked that out, yeah, why not? Make sure you go do that.

That's episodes 712 and 713. But let's get into the new notebook LM updates. And actually, let me tease this part first. At the very end of my planning for this show, I figured out how to do something pretty amazing, if I'm being honest, with some of these new notebook LLM updates. So if you want access to that, well, here's essentially what I figured out, right? For the most part, these new slide revisions can change a lot of what's possible. And I did figure out a way.

And for our live stream audience, you can kind of see it on my screen here. But to turn the standard 16 by 9 presentations that you can create inside of Notebook LM into vertical. So, yeah, if you want that, make sure to go repost this episode. I'm going to send you a little video overview of how to do it as well as seven other ideas that you can use these more vertical slides for in exactly how to do it front to back, my entire workflow. So make sure go repost this show on LinkedIn. So if you're listening on the podcast, the LinkedIn link is always in the show notes. So go repost this and I'll send that over to you.

All right, here's what we're going to go over on today's show. I'm going to show you the three new, easy to use upgrades that are now live inside. of notebook LAM. We're going to do a quick either live demo or a run through of those features, how and why you should use it. And then to end, like I said, I'm going to show you a little bit more on what I built and why I think you should be using this as well. All right, here's the new updates. So first, a ton of mobile updates. So there's other newer additions that have come out to notebook LM, obviously since we last talked about these things in November. But If you've been following along in our weekly AI News That Matter series, we've been going over them.

We share them in the newsletter. But these are the more recent ones over the last week or so that have rolled out. So first, mobile updates, being able to customize infographics and slide decks on your phone. That's great. Also, you can now generate video overviews on the phone and view them in full screen. So number one, update is the mobile improvements. Number two is conversational studio generations. So I'm going to show you exactly what that is and why I think it's maybe even better than using the standard studio.

Okay, so it now is easier to just chat with NoBook LM to find out what you want to learn more about and then conversationalally create those studio generations. And then last but not least, the headliner of all of this. That is the editable slide decks to conversationality edit any element that you create within a slide. All right. Let's start. What could go wrong? Doing live demos with generative AI. But this is our AI at work on Wednesdays.

So almost every single Wednesday, we do something like this going over a new feature mode or model from one of the big four. That's Microsoft co-pilot, Anthropic Claude, OpenAIs, ChatGBTGBT, and Google's Gemini. So on Wednesdays, it's more hands-on and practical. So, you know, if you are listening, let me know what you want to see more of or less of or we often ask you guys in the newsletter. So let's do it. Live show you mightings, let me know. Hopefully you can see my screen here. But let me see if I can make it bigger.

Big enough, I think. But here's essentially what we're doing. So I am actually using this notebook inside of Notebook L.M to plan for an upcoming show that I'm doing in the Start Here series. This is a direct kind of an advice episode, helping CEOs better understand how they should and should not approach AI implementation within their organization. So I do have a notebook going that I'm working with to plan this show. And if you are brand spanking new to Notebook LM, I'm going to give you the one minute overview of what Notebook LM is, how it works, all that stuff.

But we've done plenty of updates on this in the past. And hey, let me know. Should I do, you know, in our community and our inner circle community, should the next one be notebook LM or should it be vibe coding? The next kind of tutorials that we do are courses. So very quick overview. There's three panels inside of notebook LM. Also, to zoom out even more, notebook LM is free. There is a paid version as well that essentially just gives you more features and it gives you.

you a better model to use, although all NoPocLM is powered by Gemini 3. If you are on the paid plan, it uses more Gemini 3 1 Pro versus Gemini 3 Flash. All right. So you can't, you know, this isn't one of those things where you select a model or anything like that, but there's three panes. Okay. So essentially you add your sources, that's here on the left pane, and you can add either from the web, you can search, it can do a deep research or a fast,

research to bring things in. You can upload your files, your transcripts, YouTube videos, things from your Google Drive, copy text, etc. And why you add sources? Well, because Notebook L.M grounds its answers in your sources. So right here, I have all of this information about, you know, best and worst practices for CEOs on implementing AI. So if I go here and ask as an example, All right. I'm going to say, you know, did the Chicago Bears win their last game. All right. I'm from Chicago. So presumably here in a second, it's going to spit out and say, hey, I can't tell you that because Notebook L.M is grounded in the sources that you provide. So right now, it says the response was the provided sources in our conversation history do not contain any information about the Chicago Bears or the outcome of the final game. The materials focus entirely on CEO strategies for AI workforce transformation.

So what this means is any in the middle pain when you are chatting with notebook L.M, it is grounded in your sources, which helps with one of the biggest problems of large language models today, even though I think it's way less of a problem than it was in 2022 through 2024, which is hallucinations. So you can only really chat with your documents and sources. So that's important to know. So left-hand side, that's where your sources are. Middle, that's where you can chat with your sources in the chat pane. And then on the right-hand side, you have your studio.

So this is where we can create multimedia assets. And this is all powered by different Gemini models. Mainly, a lot of the visuals, including the video and the infographics, are powered by nanobanana. So a couple of the assets, you can. do the audio overviews, which we've covered a lot throughout the years. That is the, you know, the mega viral two AI hosts talking about your content. You can create a slide deck, which that's one of the new things we're going to be going over now, the fact that it's editable. Your video overviews, you can do mind maps, reports, flashcards, quizzes, infographics, and data tables,

which is a little bit of a newer feature. One other thing to keep in mind, which is really cool. when you do see this little pencil icon, that means you can put in custom, you know, a custom prompt. So that's really nice feature to have, obviously. And you can also generate a nearly unlimited studio generation. So it used to be you could only do, you know, one AI audio overview as an example. Now they are unlimited.

All right. So now that we have a decent grasp and an update for people that are a little bit new to Notebook LM, let's just dive in. and I'm going to start showing you a couple of these features. All right. So I'm going to go ahead and we're going to create a slide deck. And I am going to do a custom slide deck.

So if you're following along the podcast, very easy. I'm going to the upper right hand corner. I'm finding the slide deck and I'm clicking the edit button. All right. I hate typing live on the screen here. So I'm just going to do something quick. I'm just going to say, you know, create a presentation that's showing the right ways and the wrong ways for CEOs to implement AI,

include specific examples. All right. So what's probably going to happen here, and I'm going to make this shorter, just so hopefully it doesn't take as long. All right. So now we see at the top I had already generated a couple of things here so far. So now it's going to be generating exactly what I said. So as I work on this, all right, stick with me here. Now I'm going to show you one of the new features because we also, in our live demos here, we need to give it some time to cook. You know, sometimes, you know, depending on on how complex it is, you know, your sources, my sources, it's a ton of information. I actually ran, you know, four different deep research queries on this on chat, GPT, Gemini, Grock, and perplexity.

Claude wasn't working for whatever reason. They were having some issues two days ago when I was putting all my notes together. And I also ran a GPT52 thinking query on this. So it's actually a ton of sources. So what I'm going to do here in the middle is now I'm going to show off this new feature, which I haven't really seen anyone talk about, maybe because there's not a big button. But that's that you can now conversationally generate studio assets in the chat pane. And I'm going to hopefully demonstrate maybe why you can actually get better results doing it there versus what I just showed you.

Because a lot of people, you know, the few people I have seen talking about this online, they're like, okay, what's the point of this? You know, couldn't you just, you know, put that same information, kind of like I did in a custom prompt? Well, you can, right. But this goes back to the, like the foundations of, you know, old school prompt engineering and how you need to not just give an AI model in a. assignment, but you need to collaboratively work with the AI model. Because if you do that, especially when it is grounded in your sources, I think you're always going to get a higher quality and crisper results. So let's go ahead and I'll show you what I mean.

So now in the middle, I'm just going to say, you know, I'm going to say give me examples. Adobe just introduced an entirely new way to create, bringing the power and precision of its creative suite into one conversational experience. Meet Firefly AI Assistant, now live in the Adobe Firefly app, the All In One Creative AI Studio. Powered by Adobe's Creative Agent, Firefly AI Assistant lets you start with your vision, just describe what you want, and shape the outcome as it takes form with the Assistant.

Every step the assistant takes is visible so you can refine, redirect, or take over at any time. You stay in the driver's seat as the creative director. Adobe Firefly AI assistant now in public beta. See it today at firefly.adopi.com. All right. So I'm going to say, give me some examples of the right ways and wrong ways for CEOs to implement AI, include specific examples. Okay, so essentially, I'm doing the exact same thing in the chat pane as the custom prompt that I gave to the video overview.

Now, here's why we're going to do that, because I can see the results first. I can iterate. I can maybe have one or two more back and forth conversations with Notebook L.M. first. And then what I'm going to do, hopefully, is have it generate another video overview. All right. We'll see if we actually have time. So I'm not going to have too much time to iterate back and forth. So so far, you know, gave me some. So Notebook LM just spit out the first result here. It gave some examples, Walmart Accenture, J.P. Morgan, McKinsey, right?

And then the wrong ways. Okay. So we have some good examples. So this is great so far. So I'm going to say, great. I'm going to say, please give me more depth, include more studies and stats, and also try and categorize these good and bad CEO traits

and make an actionable game plan on how to do this the right way. And I'm going to say also create a list of the five most common pitfalls. All right. So we're going to give that just one second. And I'm actually going to start typing now my response showing off this new feature as it's working here. So I'm going to say, great. I'm going to say, please create a slide deck from all of this information, all right? fancy prompt, right? Essentially, I want to get this going, so hopefully we can do it all here live.

And hopefully we'll be able to then compare the results between the newer version of doing it here in the chat pane versus the older version. All right. So here we go. It's giving me the good traits and the bad traits. It's categorizing them. Okay, this is actually really good information here. Obviously, everything in notebook at Lime is cited and sourced. So at any, point, I can know it's not just making this up. I can go and see exactly the information that is pulling from. All right, here we go at the end. So I just said, great.

Please create a slide deck from all of this information. And I'm actually jotting myself a little note here just to make sure that we're, I'm going to show you guys the correct one. Yeah, because right now, it just now says generating slide deck. So our one on top should be the correct one. But you'll see here. So it responded. It says, I've started creating a slide deck for you that covers all of this information,

including the key statistics on AI, ROI, the good and basic CEO traits, your actionable game plan, and the common pitfalls to avoid. It says this presentation is being generated asynchronously, and you can track its progress and view the final results over in the studio tab. Let me know if you have anything else that you want to put together. All right. So there you see. Maybe you didn't.

Maybe you knew this. Maybe you didn't. But I think overall, when you collaborate with AI before you kind of give it an assignment, it's going to be much better. So hopefully here, as long as these two get done in time, we'll be able to both show some of the results and also, you know, compare. See if it's actually better if you're iterating with a conversation, at least in this one example. All right. So here's what we're going to do while we wait for those. We're going to look at the ability to edit slide decks within the interface here.

All right. So I did have one already done, just a general one. I didn't customize this, right? So I don't think this is going to be the best example, but maybe that's a good example to actually walk through and show you guys how to edit it. All right, so all you're going to have to do is once any of your generations are done for a slide deck, you are just going to click on the slide deck. And then in the upper right, in the upper right hand corner, again, in the studio, there's a pencil. All right. So this is a new feature. And it says revise. So I'm going to go ahead and click that.

And then it brings this kind of edit panel full screen. All right. So now there is a new kind of interface. And I do think slash hope, and I did talk to the Google team about this. I would love to see them bring their annotate feature over here. Their annotate feature is great. You can use it both in Google AI Studio. You can use it in Gemini Canvas.

That's where you can actually like click on something, you know, highlight something and then leave feedback. So that would be great. here because otherwise sometimes you have to get very descriptive because as an example here on my first slide, it's a great slide. So it says the AI talent reckoning. So the title side slide here says CEO Playbooks, Workforce Realities in the Divergent Paths to ROI. And it has this pretty cool, but a little busy graphic kind of showing the transition on different moves, whether right or wrong, that CEOs have made over the years. And it's actually super busy. So I would love in the future to be able to annotate little things on here, but I really can't.

So let's just do some basic edits. All right. So I'm going to say, let's change the title to the CEO Playbook for successful AI implementation, y'all. I hate typing live here because I also have like my T-Rex arms, right, because I have to have my microphone close enough. So there we go. We have our first one. So the feedback process is super simple.

Like I said, you just click on any slide. And then there's going to be a change slide there. So you don't have to click on anything, right? When you're between each slide. So I can go through here and literally click on each and. every slide here on the right hand panel. And my edits are going to be saved, even though I haven't clicked anything.

Right. And then you'll see a pending changes. All right. And also, so right now I just change the title slide. So let's just say as an example, I'm going to click on slide number three here. On the right hand side of the kind of edit panel, you'll see that the title slide has a little blue outline, whereas the second slide doesn't have that. Right. So all that means is as you're going through and, you know, typing out your changes,

anything with a change is going to have that little blue marking. And then as you go down here, you're also going to see the pending changes as well. And it's going to say the slide number. And then, you know, if this really starts to add up, you can go ahead and, you know, use this pending changes at the bottom of the screen to more quickly jump to those changes. All right. So let's just go ahead and go to. the page three here. So this is the four-year sprint from the Chachapiti shock to the agentic

reckoning. All right. So I like this slide, but let's just do a simple one. I'm just going to say, you know, let's change the color scheme here, but keep the info the same. I'm going to say let's use more green, even though I would never want to see green. I'm going to say let's use more green. I'm going to say let's use more green and gray colors for the five years for the five year panels. All right. So hopefully that'll make sense. And let's just make one other edit. We don't need to do a ton. All right. And then so on page four here, this says archetype one restrict and contain the risk first approach. All right. So right here, the sites, the things that it sources are a little older. It's from 2023. So I'm actually going to try two different improvements here. All right. So I'm going to say

for the evidence, let's use facts, stats, examples from 2025, not 2023. And then I'm going to say also please change the orange box because there's a little orange box here. on screen to a blue shaded box. All right. So now we're done. I'm not going to go through this whole deck and show you because you're probably kind of bored of that by now. But you'll see here it says I have three pending changes.

I can jump between them just by clicking. And then also, like I said, you'll see everything in the blue there. All right. So I'm going to click, generate new deck. All right. And I only did three simple revisions. There you go. It's generating the slide revisions. All right, so I do have multiple versions going on. It looks like one of mine from earlier is done.

So we'll have to jump in here in a minute and see which ones those are. Now let's give Noba Gallem a couple more minutes to cook. All right, live demos, love to see them. But what I'm not going to demonstrate live is some of the new mobile features, but I will show you here. some of them from Notebook LM. All right. So the first one, like we talked about, is now the ability to customize your video overviews in the Notebook LM app.

So nothing, you know, super technical here, you know, or anything to show off necessarily. So this isn't a new feature per se because this has always been available in the, you know, the desktop version. But I kid you not. I had actually not been using the app as much on my phone. I had been using the mobile website just because I wanted the ability to customize both the video and the infographic portions of Notebook LM.

So you couldn't do that on the app. The app is really nice. It works very well. There's new things. You can upload screenshots, right? Very cool. So this new update. I think it just meets you where you're at, right?

It turns now all of a sudden, you know, the notebook LM app to something that's, you know, pretty useful to something like, okay, this is something I might need to start using every single day, just being able to bring over some of these customization features from the desktop to the mobile app. All right. And then the second one here, the second big update to the mobile app is the ability to customize the infographics and slide deck in the mobile app. So here on screen, just showing a tweet from at Notebook L.M, very easy. Like you would on the desktop, tap the pencil icon to adjust the design, complexity, and narrative style. All right.

So you can kind of see the little video here from Notebook LM. It's very slick. And you do get most of all the features that you get in the desktop version as well. So again, the ability to both customize and also view these things now in. of the app. All right. Enough of that. Let's go in and check as we as we wrap up here. Let's go in and check. We do have one more. We have one more going. All right, bummer.

All right. You know what I'm actually going to do? I'm going to quickly, you know, quickly tease this, this one thing here. All right. So if you do go reposted a show, I want to show you some of the kind of results that I have here. So it is in this notebook. right. So one of the coolest things that I've been able to accomplish so far is really figuring out the right way to work with this new slide deck, especially with the revisions, to go in other formats, right? I do know that this is something notebook LMLM is working on is just other output formats. But by far, the level of quality that you can get out of the presentation or the slides feature, in Notebook LM powered by Nanobanana is absolutely on another level. Sorry, I love Gamma. I use it all the time.

Gamma does have options to actually use Nanobanana Pro. Obviously, with new updates to chat GPT and GPT52 in Claude. Claude's been crushing it on the slide side. You can also generate slides within Google Gemini using Canvas mode. we covered that a couple of months ago. But still, none of these options, yes, not even gamma, nothing else compares to what you can produce in terms of time to output quality as what you can in notebook L.M with these slides. And then again, now that you can edit them, that makes it even a bigger no-brainer, right? You did have the ability to edit slides in some platforms, I believe, like GenSpark and Manus and things like that.

But let's be honest, those credits are expansive. I do love those two programs and use them often, right? And this is one of the use cases I was using, I think it was GenSpark, the ability to edit slides that were created by using Nanobanana. But you don't have to worry about credits. You don't have to worry about any of those things now when you can just do this in app. But I did kind of figure out a way to successfully go beyond the slide deck. Right.

So yes, this is still technically a 16 by 9. output here, but I did now split this into three vertical kind of pains here. All right. So this is something I did spend a little bit of time on just to get this right. But live stream audience, if you're seeing this, this obviously turned out really, really well. So now, you know, yes, I know a lot of people, you know, have plenty of use cases for 16 by 9 presentations, your PowerPoints, et cetera, oh, which is probably one other thing I should mention. Now there is the ability to download this as a PowerPoint.

So before you could only download as a PDF, now you can download as a PowerPoint. The downside of that is, well, when you import it inside Microsoft PowerPoint, it's just flat JPEGs, right? So you're not getting fully editable layers, but if you do have things, you can obviously edit them with a text-based prompt. Now with this new revision feature inside of Notebook LM, what I've always done, right, after maybe one or two edits in notebook LM is if it's smaller things and I'm like, I don't want to wait. You can always just import the PowerPoint into Canva. And I love for those features using like their magic write, magic grab, some of those

things to make more fine-tune controls. And also, you know, you might not realize. You do have a just a super high level of customization within the notebook LM slide generator. and even in the revisions. You can even with some basic prompting, you can control colors, you can control layout, you can control font choices,

things like that. So you actually do have way more granular control. Aside from using the presets that they offer, you actually have a ton of granular control. But I do like this because now, this, with having these three panes, it really changes what you can use it for,

right? Because you're probably not going to put out a 16 by 9 slide, on social media as an example. You're probably not going to put it for an area of your website that is maybe optimized for mobile because it doesn't work. So this little kind of trick here, I guess, is going to be great because it really opens up the use cases. So like I said, make sure to go repost this on LinkedIn.

I will send you a video overview of exactly how to do this as well as seven use cases that are outside of just, okay, now I have a cool carousel for, you know, for social media. Yeah, that's the obvious one. But I'm going to show you everything. So make sure to go repost this. And I'll send you how to turn this, obviously, into a more simple kind of layout because there is one or two additional steps.

All right. Now let's wrap this up. I was just kind of not stalling there, but hopefully providing a little bit of value while we finished. All right, cool. They finished. Great. All right.

So let's first look at our. Okay, sorry. I'm just double checking here, kind of which slide is which. All right, so we have our AI reckoning. All right. Let's see where our edited version was. Sorry, y'all. Sorry, I'm trying to find this. Let's see, 14 hours ago, 14 hours ago, 11 minutes. Okay, it's one of these three. Let me click on them again. All right. So it's not that one, the executive imperative, although that looks nice. Here we go. All right. So here we go. Here is the results of our edited one. All right. So very cool. So it successfully changed the cover slide like we told it to. Let's go to slides three and four to double check on our other ones. All right, so slide three, it did this correctly.

And it actually looks better than I thought, kind of in the green, in gray. I told it to kind of change those colors. So it actually looks a little bit better than I thought. And then last but not least on slide four, I wanted to update these 2023 examples to 20, 25 examples, and it looks like it did. Obviously, I would always go back and double check this. And then the second edit that I had on this page, it was kind of a more gaudy orange box. So it did change this pullout box to a more subdued and neutral blue color. So there you see both from changing bigger things, you know, like the entire feel of a slide to changing the title, to changing multiple things on one page.

So there we go. All right. So now let's go ahead and see if I can properly do this. Okay. So here is our general slide deck that we started with. Okay. So this is not the one that was based. with the chat iterations.

And if I'm being honest, I actually really like this one. Sometimes by default, Notebook L.M will give you something a little, you know, not like corny, but something not super polish or, you know, very professional. I actually love this. I love the color scheme it chose. It kind of had this, you know, chalkboard gray with some gold and burnt orange highlights going over November 2022 to November 2024. and then it kind of splits to transformation and stagnation.

Y'all, I'm telling you, even if you don't need to output slides for your job, this is the best way to learn, right? I use these slides all the time because one thing that I personally do not enjoy doing is reading long blocks of text. And when I think of what are some of the hugest cheat codes right now, I have to always go back to the different deep research. I think Google Gemini, their new deep research and chat Chb-T's deep research, the new one which we just went over, are in a league of their own.

But I hate reading long blocks of text. This workflow that I'm showing you bringing multiple deep researches in and creating a presentation, even if I'm not publishing that presentation, I do this all the time because it helps me learn, right? And then being able to do this also in the video version as well. So the default version actually turned out much better than I thought. These slides are super clean. I mean, like, holy frick, this might be in terms of like zero shotting something,

I use this all the time. And this might be one of the better versions. It's actually really good, right, without having any iterations. So if you do repost this, not only will I, you know, show you guys the kind of turning the 16, presentation into three vertical panes and show you that process. But I'll also send you these two decks because, you know, looking at them, I'm like, this is really freaking valuable and they look really,

really good. All right. So the default version, really good. All right. So now let's go into the iterative version. Again, I'm kind of half assuming that this is the correct one because I wasn't able to watch them

in real time for the five minutes when they were generating because I was doing other things and showing you guys other things on screen. I probably should have denoted and said, hey, call, you know, make sure you use this text on the cover. So I didn't have to, you know, guess live. But I'm guessing, let me just kind of flip through this. Yeah, okay. This is correct. So yeah, this version is the one that I iterated on because I'm scrolling through here.

And it's breaking things down by the categories that I asked. So just strictly the design, I think that the, The first version was better, at least for my personal taste. So this one, it looks really good. It's called the executive AI imperative from pilot to purgatory to performance. Right. And normally what I do, FYI, you know, people always ask me like, oh, how do you use AI, right? A lot of times, I'll just talk, right?

I'll give my thoughts, you know, my questions. I'll just dictate them in this new app that I built that I'll be sharing about in our community, FYI. So a lot of times to get your own personal take to personalize this, that's the other thing. People I think always look, overlook with NoBook LM is they think, okay, this is just going to churn out, you know, generic content at scale. No, make sure you put your own taste, your own personality, your own background, right? One thing I always do is I essentially have markdown files that I constantly update almost

almost weekly, right, both about myself, what I'm working on, my thoughts on different things, and from the company side, from everyday AI side. So when I do want something personalized at a much greater detail, I can always use those files, drop them in as sources or in the chat and say, hey, make sure you customize all of this information according to what I just sent you, right? My personal context. But overall, I think the content of the second slide that we iterated with inside the chat interface, the content is much better.

You know, it's really breaking it down into these different categories, which I asked for. It gave me the multiple step action plan here. So centralized governance, redesign workflows, mandate, and incentivize, industrialize, upskilling, measure ROI relentlessly, and then the pitfalls as well. So, yeah, what I would have done if I was making this for myself, right? I just said this as a quick little live demo is I probably would have grabbed some of my more recent episodes and said, hey, prioritize this information that I've uploaded in these sources, but supplement it with these other documents.

So overall, I mean, these new updates, I think are absolutely imperative for you to check out if you haven't already. Because like I said, not only does it meet us where we're at with the mobile capabilities, but so many of us, the things that we have to, you know, ultimately create spreadsheets and slides, right? And I think that as the quality of AI increases, right, I'm personally tired. I don't know if it's just me. And this is terrible as a former journalist to say, I have text fatigue. I do because the cost and the barrier to entry to quality text has gone down.

So now I'm swamped with it, right? So now for me personally, I'm always looking for customizable high-quality visuals. And that's exactly what Notebook LM delivers with these three new updates, the additable slides, the on-the-go mobile customization, and then the ability to iterate and create studio generations in the chat. So I hope this was helpful. I've already said if you want the little extras, make sure to go share this show and repost it on LinkedIn.
