In case you missed this year's #GoogleIO keynote, we made a notebook summarizing everything here: https://t.co/4B9cVkqi5H
AND, given how much you guys are loving video overviews (coming soon!), we made one for this year's consumer keynote announcements. pic.twitter.com/75EIDsM6yq
At the recently concluded I/O 2025 event, the company unveiled a bunch of new features for NotebookLM. The most exciting announcement was Video Overviews, a feature that can take complex inputs like research notes, PDFs, and images and turn them into dynamic, narrated video summaries.
Building on its popular Audio Overviews feature, NotebookLM now allows you to choose the length of audio summaries: short, standard, or extended, depending on your learning needs or time constraints.
However, the key takeaway is this: NotebookLM’s 56% growth happened before these game-changing updates went live. With mobile access and powerful summarization tools now in place, the platform is poised for an even steeper adoption curve in the months ahead.
