🤖 Google turns your notes into podcasts

The Rundown: Google just launched Audio Overviews, a new feature in NotebookLM that turns notes, PDFs, Google Docs, Slides, and more into AI-generated audio discussions between two virtual AI agents.

The details:

• Audio Overview creates a "deep dive" conversation from uploaded sources, with AI hosts summarizing content and connecting topics across materials.

• The tool works with various source types (documents, slides, charts, web URLs) using Gemini 1.5's multimodal capabilities.

• To use Audio Overviews, open an existing notebook, navigate to the Notebook guide, and click on the “generate” button on the right-hand side.

• We confirmed with Google Labs that NotebookLM can process up to 50 sources, each up to 500,000 words, allowing for a total of 25 million words to be considered when generating the audio.

Why it matters: Audio Overviews can be a game changer for people who are auditory learners. This feature works particularly well with academic papers, ebooks, textbooks, presentations — we tested it by turning yesterdays newsletter into an Audio Overview and were quite impressed!

ADOBE

🔥 Adobe previews new AI video model

The Rundown: Adobe just previewed its Firefly AI Video Model, which includes tools to extend existing videos and create new clips from text or image prompts, coming before year end.

The details:

• Three key features are coming: Text to Video, Image to Video, and Generative Extend.

• Text to Video can create clips from prompts, with options for camera controls and reference images.

• Image to Video transforms still images or illustrations into live-action clips.

• Generative Extend, coming to Premiere Pro beta, can add footage to cover gaps or extend shots.

Why it matters: While OpenAI's (still unreleased) Sora focuses on generating videos from scratch, Adobe is aiming to create ‘a new era‘ for video editing itself. Soon, anyone will be able to change camera angles, extend scenes, and generate b-roll instantly with AI.
