Google NotebookLM is an AI tool that creates a two-person live podcast from any PDF file in one click.
Features:
Extremely realistic, with casual banter between a male and female AI hosts. Mimics casual language with natural pauses and filler words (uhm, etc.) and conversational dialogue.
Says it uses only the content from the media-owned file, rather than external training data.
Limited editing options, such as “Shorter,” “Default,” or “Longer” audio lengths.
50 languages.
Use cases from publishers at the Niche Media Conference include creating turning long white papaers and multiple news stories into easily digested audio versions.
