NotebookLM can now summarize research in ‘cinematic’ video overviews

Google's NotebookLM can now create fully animated "cinematic" videos from user research and notes, upgrading from the previous text-based slideshows. The tool uses multiple AI models, including Gemini (an AI language model that understands and generates text), Nano Banana Pro, and Veo 3 (an AI video generation model), where Gemini decides the best narrative style and visual format while checking its own work for consistency.
