Facebook parent Meta releases Google-like AI tool for research but there’s a ‘big’ difference

Meta introduces NotebookLlama, an open-source AI tool for converting PDFs into podcasts. It creates text transcripts and adds pauses to mimic natural conversation. The final audio quality depends on advanced text-to-speech models. Future enhancements may include AI agents debating topics for dynamic outlines, rivaling Google’s NotebookLM which summarizes varied content forms.
