NotebookLM added a video overview feature several months back, which uses AI to generate a video summary of the content you’ve added to the notebook. The addition of Nano Banana to NotebookLM is much less open-ended. Instead of entering prompts to edit images, NotebookLM has a new set of video styles powered by Nano Banana, including whiteboard, anime, retro print, and more. The original style is still available as “Classic.”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
NotebookLM’s videos are still somewhat limited, but this update adds a second general format. You can now choose “Brief” in addition to “Explainer,” with the option to add prompts that steer the video in the right direction. Although, that’s not a guarantee, as this is still generative AI. At least the style should be more consistent with the addition of Nano Banana.<\/p>\n
The updated image editor is also coming to Google Photos, but Google doesn’t have a firm timeline. Google claims that its Nano Banana model is a “major upgrade” over its previous image-editing model. Conversational editing was added to Photos last month, but it’s not the Nano Banana model that has impressed testers over the summer. Google says<\/a> that Nano Banana will arrive in the Photos app in the next few weeks, which should make those conversational edits much less frustrating.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NotebookLM added a video overview feature several months back, which uses AI to generate a video summary of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":210971,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[62,276,277,49,48,61],"class_list":["post-210970","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-ai","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificialintelligence","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210970","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=210970"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210970\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/210971"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=210970"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=210970"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=210970"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
