Google has added a Video Overview feature to NotebookLM, a modern learning application powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI). This feature is added to the application available on Android and iOS.

By adding this feature, users can create and watch summaries of materials in AI video format. Users can turn their various materials into interesting video content through the Studio tab.

Not only does it give you the ability to make videos, Google also adds a speed control feature. That way, users can easily review the videos they make, either speeding up to the core or going back to other parts.

In addition to the Overview Video, Google has also improved the ability to create infographics. Users can easily organize the infographics they create through the pencil icon. They can change the display format into landscape, portrait, or square.

Users can also choose specific data sources that they want to process into visuals. In addition, NotebookLM now also provides an option to specify the output language and add special commands before the infographic is created by AI.

The release notes from Google also mention another new feature, namely Slide Deck. This feature, which has not yet been launched, allows users to choose a presentation format, ranging from a Detailed style to read on their own or a Presenter style to give a speech.

Users can also adjust the duration of the presentation and focus on the style of the language through additional instructions. For example, users can ask AI to create presentation material with a fun style specifically for beginners.

In addition to the Slide Deck, all of the new features mentioned are being launched gradually. These features may already be available to some users, while other users still need to wait until the launch is complete.
