"Google's AI note-taking and research assistant NotebookLM now lets users customize the tone of their Audio Overviews, which are podcasts with AI virtual hosts that summarize and discuss documents shared with NotebookLM, such as course readings or legal briefs. When generating an Audio Overview, users can now choose whether they want their AI podcasts to be formatted as a "Deep Dive," "Brief," "Critique," or "Debate.""
"A Deep Dive features conversational dialogues where two AI hosts unpack the topic with depth and questions. A Brief is a bite-sized overview that's designed to help you quickly grasp the core ideas from your sources. A Critique features a review of your sources and constructive feedback to help you improve, while a Debate includes two AI hosts offering different perspectives on your sources."
"In addition to customizable tones, Google is also bringing a highly requested feature to NotebookLM, which is the addition of new voices for the AI podcasts. The launch comes as Google has been building out NotebookLM over the past few months. A few weeks ago, the tech giant rolled out Video Overviews, which allow users to turn dense multimedia, such as raw notes, PDFs, and images, into digestible visual presentations."
NotebookLM offers customizable Audio Overviews—podcast-style summaries with AI virtual hosts—now selectable as Deep Dive, Brief, Critique, or Debate. Deep Dive uses two hosts for in-depth conversational unpacking and questioning; Brief provides concise overviews to grasp core ideas quickly; Critique gives reviews and constructive feedback; Debate presents opposing perspectives between two hosts. Users can set the desired length for each format and choose from newly added AI voices for the podcasts. NotebookLM recently added Video Overviews, featured public notebooks, and standalone iOS and Android apps. New audio formats are launching globally in all languages.
