My mind is a bit blown. I read about Google's newly released NotebookLM in Tim Ferriss' 5-Bullet Friday. Tim pitched it this way: "I know everyone is sick of hearing about AI, but if you haven’t heard this sample podcast, which was generated from a simple article, it will blow your mind. Those are not real humans. NotebookLM is an AI-powered research and writing assistant that works best with the sources you upload."
I didn't listen to the sample. I wanted to see it in action for myself. I uploaded the .pdf of my book, Sweating Bullets, A Story About Overcoming The Fear of Public Speaking.
Listen for yourself. I didn't type a prompt. I clicked the button to create a 10-minute conversation between two people, and this is the result. Let me know what you think in the comments.
If you'd like to see the study guide created by NotebookLM, send me an email. I'm happy to share.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
