Google AI's Illuminate Makes Better Podcast than NotebookLM

In this video, we explore Google's Illuminate, the groundbreaking AI tool that transforms dense academic research papers into podcast-style audio discussions. Whether you're a researcher, student, or just someone curious about new AI technologies, Illuminate makes it easy to digest complex information on the go. Using Google’s Gemini language model, it converts scientific papers into engaging conversations between two AI voices-a male interviewer and a female expert-breaking down key points and making academic research more accessible than ever.
Learn how Illuminate can revolutionize the way we consume academic content, making it perfect for multitasking during commutes, workouts, and daily routines.

Thanks. I was disappointed with the NotebookLM podcasts as they were not in context with the text and intended audience.

[@zuberibrahimsultan8771]

If illuminate makes a better podcast, then why google replicates in notebook lm ? Why the redundancy

[@solidkundi]

each are different products sharing some components. Google doesn't know which of these products will end up in their graveyard.

[@endgamefond]

I think they are experimenting which one will be subscription based and will be high-end product.

[@mike74h]

Because they love replication. And redundancy, too!

Illuminate

[@alyahyai]

They always do that so they end up shutting it down after a few years of desperate marketing 😂

[@PatrickDodds1]

So in the future when you can use your own data to generate a podcast this might be useful? Thank you.

[@lindaaldridge-johnson6110]

Can you upload your own voice to the podcast as one of the voices? My audience would be confused to hear an unfamiliar voice.

[@amzpro5734]

Do they stop using the word "exactly" all the time on Illuminate? ;)

[@TeachersTech]

That's a good question, I know what you mean.

[@ShockingTrueCrimeChronicles]

Exactly!

Not exactly.

[@williamgordon3479]

sounds really good , on waitlist hope get access soon

[@nhtna4706]

Can we make the illuminate similar to notebook LM where two characters talk with specific directions given to each character ?

[@andersonsystem2]

It’s still very limited because it only works with that one data base unfortunately so notebook Lm is still better in my opinion but this has lots of potential as well. Good video video and I agree it’s great for teachers.

[@technickr]

Waitlist only 😥 (in the EU)

[@gunterbosse7081]

Great, can we create podcasts in german also?

[@cache4itsolutions187]

Great find! Thanks for sharing. Just need to be patient now as there is a waiting list 😅

[@888aminano]

what the defference then btw both them ?

[@YTBenZ]

Thank you 👍

[@Ideadelight]

So anyone can use the same podcast? Are these articles under Illuminati or is it separate? Thank you.

[@TeachersTech]

The ones on the home page are different from the ones in your library that you create. The articles come from arxiv.org/

[@andrec7440]

Good day sir. Thanks.

[@TeachersTech]

You're welcome!

[@TheFelixAlabi]

I am getting to know this. I will try it out

[@robfinito4671]

Can there be a one person podcast... Not the two person version

[@TeachersTech]

I haven't seen that option.

[@ElParacletoPodcast]

But how is that better than notebook on, you cannot even use your own data!

[@endgamefond]

Will teachers even exist in the future. Elon now have assistant robots. Education by AI is very easy to implement.

[@dfas1497tcf3]

Thank you!
