Google’s NotebookLM Audio Overviews will now let you call in with a question

Google is updating NotebookLM's Audio Overviews to make the interactive, alongside a redesign of the AI notebook's interface and a new premium subscription.

Google’s NotebookLM made a pretty big splash with its AI-generated podcast feature Audio Overviews, and before the year is out the app is getting another upgrade. After generating an Audio Overview based on the sources you’ve uploaded, Google says you’ll be able to play the recording in a new “Interactive mode (BETA).” Clicking “Join” at any point in that new playback screen will get the AI hosts to call on you to ask a question, which they’ll answer live while you’re listening back. Google cautions that the feature is still experimental and that hosts might pause awkwardly or introduce new inaccuracies while answering questions, but it seemed to work well in a brief test.
