The way we consume content has changed dramatically. While written resources like eBooks remain invaluable, people today are looking for more dynamic, portable formats to fit into their busy lives. That’s why we decided to revisit our eBook, Mastering the Market: The Saudi Arabia Edition, and give it a fresh spin.
Using NotebookLM, Google’s AI-powered notebook, we converted this in-depth guide into a conversational, easy-to-digest audio experience. Listen to the podcast now to get the highlights:
In this blog, we’ll explain how we used NotebookLM to convert our eBook into a podcast, explore its features, and show how you can check out both the podcast and the eBook.
What is NotebookLM?
NotebookLM is an innovative AI-powered tool created by Google. Unlike traditional note-taking apps, this tool is built entirely around AI, making it a true partner in working with your content. It doesn’t just summarise documents; it understands them. By uploading PDFs, Google Docs, or other text files, you train NotebookLM’s AI to focus on your specific content, creating personalised insights tailored to your needs.
Key features of NotebookLM include:
Summarising content: It simplifies dense documents into concise summaries.
Answering questions: It allows you to ask detailed questions about your material and receive accurate, source-grounded answers.
Creating customised outputs: From study guides to podcasts, NotebookLM transforms documents into interactive, engaging formats.
This unique grounding in your uploaded files ensures that its outputs stay relevant and accurate, making it a fantastic tool for students, professionals, and teams.
Why convert an eBook into a podcast?
Not everyone has time to sit and read an eBook, no matter how informative it may be. That’s why we decided to create a podcast, that’s convenient, engaging, and accessible to a wider audience. Whether you’re commuting, working out, or relaxing, podcasts offer an easy way to absorb information.
The result is an audio format that feels like listening to a conversation, making it easier than ever to engage with the material.
How to create a podcast with NotebookLM?
Creating a podcast in NotebookLM is straightforward. Here’s a quick guide to get started:
Sign in: Log in to NotebookLM with your Google account.
Upload your document: Upload the file you’d like to transform—NotebookLM supports PDFs, Google Docs, and other text formats.
Open the Notebook Guide: Once your document is processed, go to the Notebook Guide.
Generate the Podcast: Click the “Generate” option in the Audio Overview section. You can customise the podcast by prompting the AI with what the AI hosts should focus on. The AI will then summarise your content and craft a conversation-style audio format.
