Google has quietly upgraded NotebookLM with a feature that feels like a sneak peek into the future of content automation: Video Overviews.

In just a few steps, you can now turn raw information — like pasted text, long articles, and even YouTube transcripts — into fully narrated, slide-style videos. It works inside the redesigned Studio panel, which also supports outputs like mind maps, audio summaries, and reports.

🔧 How it works:

  1. Create a new notebook

  2. Add sources (copied text, YouTube links, web searches)

  3. Open the Studio panel and choose Video Overview

  4. Customize tone and style of the AI narrator

  5. Generate and download a complete, narrated video

I tested the feature with multiple sources, including a transcript about the quantum internet and a YouTube video on AI tools — and the result was a surprisingly smooth, informative visual summary.

🧠 Why this matters:

  • Reduces time spent on manual content repackaging

  • Great for educational content, client briefings, or onboarding material

  • Opens up new possibilities for AI-enhanced content workflows

Whether you're a dev building documentation, a solopreneur automating marketing, or an educator creating classroom content — NotebookLM Studio is worth checking out.
