• NotebookLM now supports two new source types— YouTube videos and audio files.
• The tool can automatically generate notes, summaries, discussions, and more from public YouTube videos.
• You can also create comprehensive study guides from audio files.

YouTube has a wealth of educational content, and many of us use the platform to learn new things or get help with schoolwork. Sadly, it doesn’t have any built-in features to help students prepare notes or get a quick summary of the topics discussed in a video. While we don’t expect YouTube to add such capabilities, NotebookLM has a new feature that could be of help.

NotebookLM is Google’s AI-powered research and writing assistant, which lets you quickly create notes, study guides, discussions with AI hosts, and more based on information from various sources. So far, the tool has allowed users to import information from PDF files, websites, Google Docs, Slides, and text/markdown files. Now, Google has added support for YouTube videos and audio files.
