Google's NotebookLM Introduces AI-Driven Podcasts, Interactive Mindmaps, and Call-in Features

Google's NotebookLM has introduced several innovative features aimed at enhancing user interaction and content creation. Users have reported the ability to generate AI-driven podcasts based on recent articles, with one user noting the quality of the generated content. Additionally, NotebookLM is developing an Interactive Mindmaps feature, which will allow users to create mind maps from their sources. Another feature in the pipeline enables users to listen to conversations about their sources, further enriching the user experience. Notably, a new capability allows listeners to interrupt the podcast hosts, mimicking a call-in radio show format. These updates indicate a significant push towards making AI tools more interactive and user-friendly.
