Google is launching video reviews in NotebookLM, an AI-powered note-taking and research assistant. The new feature will allow users to transform large media assets like draft notes, PDFs, and images into easy-to-understand visual presentations.
Previously, the service only offered audio reviews, a feature that allows users to create podcasts based on documents that users share with NotebookLM, such as course materials or legal documents.
Now Google is also introducing a visual approach. Users can consider video reviews as a visual alternative to audio reviews, writes TechCrunch.
This feature creates new visuals by adding images, charts, quotes, and numbers from uploaded documents to explain content. Google says this feature is good for explaining data, demonstrating processes, and making abstract concepts easier to understand.
Users can customize their video reviews just like audio reviews. They can specify topics to focus on, specify their learning goals, describe the target audience, and more.
They can ask simple questions like, “I know nothing about this topic; help me understand the diagrams in the article” or specific ones like, “I’m already an expert on X, and my team is working on Y; focus on Z.”
Video reviews are now available to all users in English, with support for other languages coming soon, Google says.
Google also announced updates to the Studio panel in NotebookLM. Users can now create and save multiple studio outputs of the same type in a single notebook. Additionally, users will now see four tiles at the top of the Studio panel for creating audio reviews, video reviews, mind maps, and reports with a single click.

Additionally, users can now multitask in the Studio panel. For example, you can listen to an audio tour while exploring a mind map or reviewing a tutorial.
