Google has unveiled a new feature in its NotebookLM notetaking tool that relies on artificial intelligence and focuses on voice output, as announced by the company during the Google I/O 2024 developers conference.
Google has rolled out a new feature called Audio Studies, which relies on user-provided content to generate a conversational audio similar to podcast episodes between two individuals.
Google offers this feature to assist individuals who prefer learning things through listening rather than just reading.
In the example presented by Google, the NotebookLM tool was equipped with a set of simple physics lessons as its content. By using the new feature, a conversational audio explaining Newton’s laws of motion in physics with real-world examples was created between two individuals.
Google allows users to ask oral questions and participate in conversations by requesting explanations for specific items in the provided content. This feature, relying on artificial intelligence, will generate new conversations based on user requests.
By enabling this new feature, users can experience personalized learning that combines their personal content with Google’s artificial intelligence capabilities.
Users can add documents and resources to the NotebookLM tool and rely on artificial intelligence capabilities to analyze inputs for performing various tasks, such as summarizing information, extracting answers, creating interactive questions. The tool is used in various fields such as studying, work, scientific research, content creation, and more.
One of the latest news is that this tool is currently only available in the United States for users over 18 years old.
