- Google’s notebooklm now supports video listings on dozens of language
- The upgrade gives video listings the same language settings as the audio listings
- Notebooklm creates its summary from actual uploaded documents
Google’s notebooklm first debuted its AI-driven research tool with audio overview capable of producing AI-produced ‘podcasts’ with digital hosts. The logical extension to video listings followed with a synthetic voice accompanied by a series of slides that include text and illustrations. However, this capacity was only available in English so far.
NoteBooklm video listings are now available in more than 80 languages. For most, it is translated into translatable versions of video breakthroughs based on your uploaded notes and interconnected source materials. The AI professor is already there and is now a multilingual expert as they present your own content in everything from Tamil to polishing and beyond.
These are not AI -Resume scraped from the web or hallucinated based on a VAG Prompt. Notebooklm is grounded in the actual material you upload. Everything AI says, in video or audio, is pulled directly from your documents, not from generic training data.
Of course, the video in this context is not a cinematic masterpiece. Slides are not fully animated explainers. This is not tictok for thermal papers; It’s more like PowerPoint for people who don’t want to make PowerPoints. The goal is clarity, not to see.
Global AI video
However, it is not the only global upgrade to notebooklm. While audio listings had been available in many languages recently, they were limited to short highlights. Now all the complete Audio AI experience is getting an alternative to the video setting.
For those who may want to read a white book while driving or cooking, this is extremely practical. It doesn’t win a Grammy, but it might just help you understand a textbook or a complex report. Professionals working internationally could use it to summarize a week’s value of meeting prints such as divisible videos or sound systems from Catalan to Portuguese. No need to trust a colleague’s English understanding.
To see how AI can digest and explain your collection of academic papers, blog posts and YouTube videos, you can make a narrative video by uploading your sources as usual and then clicking the video overview button. In short, a video of about seven minutes is ready to share, download or use as you wish.
That is not to say that this solves everything. AI can still fight with nuance, for example. But the reliability of the presentations is valuable on your own. Now they just look good too.
