TL;DR

What did vinhnx use NotebookLM for?

Instead of writing up a set of AI model release notes, a creator added them to NotebookLM, generated a short video overview and shared it on YouTube for people who wanted a faster summary.

What they did

They added a batch of release notes to NotebookLM as sources, generated a Video Overview and uploaded the result to YouTube, sharing the link in a discussion thread.

How it went

They posted the short video summary for others who wanted a faster overview.

Worth knowing

  • Watch the full video before posting, since overviews can oversimplify or misstate details. Generation can take a while, and some formats are limited to certain plans, ages or languages.

Try it yourself

Paste this into a chatbot, then add your own details underneath.

(In NotebookLM: add the release notes or announcement as sources, open Studio, choose Video Overview, then customize.) "Make a short video summary for a general audience. Cover what changed, who it matters to and any limits mentioned. Do not add claims that are not in the sources."
