What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
This is the Everyday AI Show, the everyday podcast where we simplify AI and bring its power to your fingertips. Listen daily for practical advice to boost your career, business, and everyday life.
When you think of short vertical video, what do you think of? For me, I think of social media brain rot. And somehow I've made it through my life without ever doom scrolling any vertical videos. But that might change with a new Google update to the powerful Notebook LM suite. Why is that? Well, because now we have vertical video that's actually helping you learn new topics you care about, not just trying to rot your brain and get you addicted to an algorithm. So you might've missed this one, but Notebook LM rolled out new cinematic shorts, which are 60 second vertical videos accessible in Notebook LM's web interface and mobile apps, all based on your data and directed by you. And while yes, they're great for bite-sized learning and personalized info, but I think that this new drop from Google and Notebook LM unlocks a whole new way to grow your company and your career.
That's kind of what we're all about here. Right? Well, let's get into it. Here is the big picture. Notebook LM adds vertical video.
What is NotebookLM's new cinematic shorts feature and why does it matter?
That's not brain rot. So they just launched this last week and it's available now. And each short runs about 60 seconds. It is narrated with an AI voiceover. There's captions and it's really built for just phone scrolling. Yes, you can watch these on your computer, but on the mobile app is where you can actually get some great utility out of these. And every short pulls its visuals and script only from the sources you upload. So that's the big, you know, big differentiator that Notebook LM has had all along that it's grounded just in the information you upload. So you don't have to worry as much about hallucinations or, you know, sometimes this really generic info that sounds both helpful and made up.
You don't have to worry about that. And this feature is being rolled out, the great part here, to free and paid users. So on today's show, stick with me. This one is actually going to be a short one for the next 20 ish minutes. And you're going to learn the brand new engine for images from Google. That's quietly rendering every frame behind this feature. You're going to know what plans unlock how many shorts and the daily limits.
