Remember the days when new gadgets flooded the market, turning everyone’s attention to the media? Few had time to sit and read even a few pages of their favorite novel or poem. Audiobooks and other tools soon replaced conventional reading.
Yet, we were still tied to powerpoints, meeting minutes, sales documents, and year-end reports, requiring dedicated time to process. Then came the rise of AI and chatbots - tools capable of reading documents, summarizing them, answering questions, and extracting key insights, simplifying our work lives.
Now, we’ve reached the next level of AI-assisted document interpretation. What’s the next game-changer that would make you pause and think, "WOW"?
‍
Is it audio-based? Yes.
Is it intelligent data processing and interpretation? Yes.
Is it a comprehensive interpretation? Without a doubt.
So, what’s new? What’s the WOW factor?

NotebookLM takes all of this and presents it as a natural, conversational dialogue - think of it like a voice-over podcast. Yes, you heard that right. Upload any document, and NotebookLM processes it, delivering the content as a dialogue between two AI-generated hosts. It felt so authentic, I almost thought Techjays had produced a new promotional podcast.
Here is my personal experience.
I uploaded one of Techjays’ pitch decks into NotebookLM. There was an option for a "Deep Dive Conversation" with two hosts, available only in English. Curious about how AI would handle this and slightly skeptical about hallucination risks, I clicked “Generate.”
In a few seconds to a minute, an audio overview was ready. My initial doubts started fading with every second. The AI-generated conversation between two voices—one asking questions, the other providing answers—seamlessly unpacked the entire deck. It was a deep, insightful analysis, delivered without interruption, and it perfectly reflected the content of the presentation.
It was almost too good to be true, yet here it was - AI unlocking new possibilities right in front of me. We have definitely stumbled upon the next milestone in the AI world.
Don’t take my word for it - experience it first-hand.
