Big News of the Week

NotebookLM Adds Gemini-Powered Video Overviews

This is my favorite development of the week! NotebookLM now creates short AI videos explaining your uploaded documents. It offers the same easy breezy, human like conversational audio as the Audio feature, but with slides! And they look great!

How to Generate a Video Overview

  1. Open an existing notebook or create a new one and upload sources.
  2. In the "Studio" panel, select "Video Overview" to initiate generation of a new video. The video will be generated in the background, so you can generate other artifacts concurrently or even navigate to other screens.
  • To customize, open the three dots menu next to “Video Overviews” and select “Customize.”
  • Input a steering prompt to provide instructions to focus on specific topics, target a specific audience, provide context, and more.

​Watch the example output from my experiment here.

​Google Search AI Mode Introduces Canvas​

Canvas, Google’s latest addition to search, gives you a live, editable workspace next to search results. You can drag links, images, and text into it, then use Gemini AI to organize, summarize, or rewrite content in real time.

​Google Adds AI Shopping Tools: Price Alerts, Style Matching, Virtual Try-Ons​

New AI shopping features can alert you to price drops, match styles to your preferences, and let you virtually try on clothes. If you sell or promote products, optimizing for these tools is key to standing out.

​OpenAI Launches Study Mode in ChatGPT​

Study Mode transforms ChatGPT into a personal tutor that quizzes you, explains tough topics, and adjusts to your learning style, making mastering new material easier and more engaging.

​Microsoft Edge Adds AI-Powered Copilot Sidebar​

Edge’s new Copilot sidebar lets you rewrite text, summarize content, compare products, and ask follow-ups—all without leaving your current tab. It pulls info from open pages to streamline your research, writing, or shopping.

Just keep in mind that Anthropic will begin training Claude on user data starting September 28 unless you opt out—so it’s worth checking your settings. Meanwhile, Gemini is booking restaurant reservations, ChatGPT is stepping into full assistant mode, and Google Translate now doubles as a language tutor. I...

Hi Reader, This week I had a chance to have a little fun with AI, outside of my usual business use-case experimenting...which, if I'm being honest, is also totally fun to me. I turned ChatGPT on my phone into my personal pocket IT department, I had my ChatGPT agent find a vegan banana pudding recipe and shop for (and purchase!) the ingredients, and I thoroughly enjoyed messing around with Claude Artifact's suggested use cases. Especially this one. This newsletter is sponsored by: Superhuman...
