Google’s AI research team is developing an AI tool called NotebookLM that will allow users to customize podcast-like audio updates on various topics by 2024. The tool will leverage large language models to generate audio content based on user preferences and interests. Users will be able to specify the topic, tone, and style of the audio updates, as well as the desired length and level of detail. NotebookLM will then generate the audio content using text-to-speech technology. The tool aims to provide a personalized and convenient way for users to stay informed on topics they care about without having to sift through vast amounts of written content. Google plans to release NotebookLM as a feature within its existing AI products, such as Google Assistant or Google Podcasts. The company believes that this tool will enhance the user experience and make it easier for people to consume information in an audio format.
