NotebookLM: a practical review of a tool for fast product overviews
Leggi la fonte originale
Recently, I decided to try NotebookLM - a tool from Google designed to work with your own materials (documents, links, notes) using AI.
What I uploaded
A minimal setup:
one Word document with a product description;
a link to the product landing page.
No additional instructions, scripts, or manual preparation were required.
What the tool generated automatically
Based on the uploaded materials, NotebookLM:
produced a coherent product description;
structured the content into logical slides;
generated voice narration;
assembled everything into a complete video overview.
Essentially, this is an automated assembly of a product overview / demo-level presentation from raw input data.
How long it took
The generation process took approximately 15–30 minutes.
The output was a ready-to-use result that did not require further assembly or manual editing.
What felt especially useful
it does not require a pre-written script;
it works well with existing documentation;
it is suitable for quick demos, internal presentations, and early-stage product overviews;
it lowers the effort required to prepare materials for external communication.
Limitations and nuances
the quality of the result depends on the quality of the source documents;
it is not a replacement for a fully produced marketing video, but rather a fast, clear, and practical format.
Example output
As a real example, I applied NotebookLM to the description of one of my own products.
Here is the automatically generated video overview:
