Can Gemini Notebook make a podcast?

Yes. Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM) creates Audio Overviews: podcast-style conversations between two AI hosts about the sources in your notebook. Open the Studio panel, choose Audio Overview, and listen in the browser or the mobile app.

In more detail

Audio Overviews are the feature that made NotebookLM popular, and they carry over unchanged in Gemini Notebook. Add your sources, open the Studio panel and generate an Audio Overview. Two AI hosts discuss the material in a conversational format. You can steer the focus before you generate it, listen in the browser or mobile app, and download the audio. Since 2 September 2026, generating Audio and Video Overviews counts toward your compute-based usage limit, which refreshes every 5 hours. For a better episode, give the notebook a focused set of clean sources: long, noisy pages produce rambling overviews. Gemini Notebook Toolkit can help you prepare those sources, for example by capturing AI chat threads as clean text. It does not generate audio itself.
