Many of you know how much I love NotebookLM by Google. I throw in articles, research, documents — and it generates podcasts, summaries, and presentations based on them. Convenient to listen on the go, quick to understand complex topics. And free!
Google finally added a long-awaited feature — editing individual slides. Previously, if you didn't like a slide, you had to regenerate the entire presentation. Now slides can be changed via prompt. Then you export to PPTX, open in Keynote and polish it there.
I decided to do a meta-test: created a NotebookLM presentation about NotebookLM itself, using all its capabilities. It turned out quite informative — I deliberately didn't edit anything. NotebookLM creates these simple presentations literally from the prompt "make a presentation based on sources." As sources, I used links it found itself to Google's blog about NotebookLM. Attaching the deck and the notebook itself — you can open it and play around.
