"What Are you Thinking About?" Meets Notebook LM
"What Are you Thinking About?" Meets Notebook LM
Faciliated by: Rhett Burton
This month, we’ll share “What Are You Thinking About?” with NotebookLM. Using the Audio Overview feature, we’ll generate an interpretation of one of your slides.
After creating the audio summary, share the recording with the group and reflect on your experience using the technology.
We’re especially interested in:
How accurately the tool interpreted your slide
What surprised you
Where it added value (or missed the mark)
Why you may or may not want to use the technology
This will give us an opportunity to explore both the practical and reflective dimensions of AI-assisted interpretation.
When: coming Soon
