Recently, I decided to try NotebookLM - a tool from Google designed to work with your own materials (documents, links, notes) using AI.
What I uploaded
A minimal setup:
- one Word document with a product description;
- a link to the product landing page.
No additional instructions, scripts, or manual preparation were required.
What the tool generated automatically
Based on the uploaded materials, NotebookLM:
- produced a coherent product description;
- structured the content into logical slides;
- generated voice narration;
- assembled everything into a complete video overview.
Essentially, this is an automated assembly of a product overview / demo-level presentation from raw input data.
How long it took
The generation process took approximately 15–30 minutes.
The output was a ready-to-use result that did not require further assembly or manual editing.
What felt especially useful
- it does not require a pre-written script;
- it works well with existing documentation;
- it is suitable for quick demos, internal presentations, and early-stage product overviews;
- it lowers the effort required to prepare materials for external communication.
Limitations and nuances
- the quality of the result depends on the quality of the source documents;
- it is not a replacement for a fully produced marketing video, but rather a fast, clear, and practical format.
Example output
As a real example, I applied NotebookLM to the description of one of my own products.
Here is the automatically generated video overview:
NotebookLM is a strong practical tool for quickly packaging ideas and products into a clear, understandable format. It is especially useful when the goal is to communicate the core idea without spending time on manual presentation work.
