On our field trip we discussed artificial intelligence and I promised to share a new AI tool - Google's NotebookLM. If you have a gmail account then you can access this online service. Start by using a web browser to add this service to your Google account and later you can download NotebookLM as an app on iPad or iPhone. NotebookLM is a tool for creating study guides, reports, flashcards, quizzes ... but what blew my mind was the Audio Interview where two AI voices discuss the content provided. A new feature now includes creating a video overview. What ...?
The example Notebook I built is Mastering Smartphone Photography: Tips for Every Shot where several PDF documents and a few other websites were added as sources. As you listen to an Audio Overview, look for the Join button to interrupt the conversation and ask a related question to see how the "podcasters" respond.
The link opens in a web browser like this picture. Sources are on the left, content and chat in the middle and Studio elements on the right. Audio examples have a small play button - triangle in a circle.
