OK - this may not be perfect - but you have to try Notebook LM

We are so gonna be out of a job in a few years. Lol. If you spin it that you are in learning mgmt and that your business is wrapped around the processes, requirements and protection of IP? You arent!

But here is why I am saying it. Gemini 2.0 is out for google and they have a crazy intriguing product called NotebookLM.

You feed it a document and it outputs summarizations with a pretty decent run at the detail.

I think can fit into a place with Compliance and Safety training easy, but it can go alot further.

And its audio overview……..is nothing short of a spectacular production quality. You feel like you are sitting there listening to a real podcast. All AI generated!!!!

Give it a shot - ground me a bit….but I think we are going to hear more and more about this.

By the way at 2024 Inspire - we started to see and hear some intriguing usecases of feed an AI a document and it will spit back out content for you that is being incorporated into the newer tools for authoring content in Docebo. This is not a roadmap piece though - notebookLM is here.

Please note - this is far from a perfect product - for those that are into detail - and that is many of us - the site says it pretty plainly at the bottom of the tool:

always check before committing material from AI to your production spaces….

Not going to be out of a job unless you never learn to embrace it.

I have used notebook LM for some internal podcasts. Its a great tool.

But now I am fully invested on creating and integrating AI experiences inside storyline. I have storyline connected to OpenAI/Azure to deliver customer/chat simulations and just recently implemented it so my virtual persona can talk back using the new https://www.openai.fm stuff released two weeks ago.

Its quite satisfying to see a dynamic angry customer come to life through text and voice and have the learner figure out how to walk them off the cliff.

Very cool! You weren’t kidding about the audio overview...sounds like a podcast, not AI. I see other things too like mind maps, FAQ, study guide, and so on. I guess it depends on what you feed into it, what it can output. Thanks for sharing.

Here’s the Docebo AI Authoring page you were talking about.

Purely my opinion - because I reached out to other learning folk on Friday after my quick trial - It does an outstanding job at the podcast side of the product. And a pretty decent job with the other materials (study guide, FAQs, summary).

What I found intriguing is they have a discord server running and the discussion that is coming out is about students leveraging it to help summarize learning material. I think that is clever….I seriously wish it was around when I was a student to help percolate up the relevant details.

I do think it has some minimal challenges

  • it does miss the emphasis in material on occasion
  • if you feed it only one document, from my short experience with it - it can get pretty literal
  • a conversation between the two/three voices is awesome, but I think the format can run long at times - I need to see if that can get tweaked out.
  • there are no editing functions as of yet - which means you would need to export and potentially do “passthrough” work in other tools.
    • But it is so near production quality - that it may just make sense to do rough chop edits and do cut ins with “commercial interludes” - to help ground some of the concepts and edit as needed. That may actually be fun!

There are other content generation tools out there today that are willing to consume material, all of that said, I think it is important to keep in mind privacy concerns. There is a paid function that gets even tighter when it comes to privacy guarantees with material.

Let the thread know if you give it a shot or not. Heck you can actually give it a page on a website, a video from youtube as a source. I wonder what it would do with this thread as a source????
