TL;DR

• You can now generate NotebookLM-style podcasts for PDFs stored in Google Drive.
• The feature generates audio overviews for PDFs and stores them as separate audio files in your Drive.
• It’s currently limited to Google Workspace and Gemini AI Pro/Ultra users and only works for documents in English.

NotebookLM, Google’s research sidekick, is easily one of its most powerful AI tools. Although it packs a handsome set of features that make deep investigations far easier, features like audio and video overview make the learning process much more engaging. Inspired by its popularity, Google is extending one of these features to other apps.

Google is now expanding NotebookLM’s audio overviews to PDF files saved in your Google Drive. With this, content from any PDF can be converted into audio summaries with the same interactive podcast style as NotebookLM’s audio overviews.
