New Gemini 3 Powered Features of NotebookLM

Google recently added 2 powerful features in NotebookLM powered by their latestGemini 3 and Nano Banana pro models.

1. **Infographics: **Converts your input content, URL or PDF into an interactive graphics.
2. Slide deck: Converts your entire input file into full-fledged presentations.

In the next section, we will be testing these features out:

Task 1: Uploading a PDF

For this task, I uploaded this research paper in NotebookLM and asked it to create infographics and presentation using the content:

Infographics:

The infographic generated by NotebookLM is genuinely impressive. It takes a dense research paper on autonomous AI agents and converts it into a clean, visually intuitive framework. The five levels of agentic systems are explained with clarity, using simple labels and visuals that make the concepts more digestible for non-technical readers.

The breakdown of the “brain,” “hands,” and “nervous system” metaphor is especially strong. The design feels polished, well-structured, and surprisingly aligned with professional tech infographics.

Presentation:

The PPT generated by NotebookLM is far better than typical auto-generated slide decks. It follows a logical flow, highlights the core ideas of the paper, and maintains clean slide-level organization. Complex sections from the research like orchestration layers, multi-agent coordination, and autonomous planning are broken down into bite-sized explanations that would work well for presentations or meetings. Visual consistency is strong, and the content feels balanced between text and graphics. It’s not perfect, but for a one-click output from a dense technical document, the quality is genuinely impressive.

Task 2: Multiple URLs

For this task, I have taken 3 URLs from Analytics Vidhya on similar topic and asked NotebookLM to compare each component:

Infographics:

NotebookLM distilled the core differences between CPUs, GPUs, and TPUs into a visually clean, classroom-ready graphic. It captures strengths, use-cases, and flexibility in a way that feels beginner-friendly yet technically accurate. The layout mirrors the classic “side-by-side comparison” style used in professional tech explainers. What stands out is how well it organizes the ideas: primary strength, best-for, and flexibility all drawn directly from the source blogs.

Presentation:

NotebookLM managed to extract the structure, examples, and explanations from long-form articles and convert them into digestible slides that would work perfectly for training sessions or classroom teaching. The transitions between CPU, GPU, and TPU sections are smooth, and the slide content feels concise without losing technical accuracy. It highlights practical use-cases, definitions, and hardware behavior in a clear narrative flow. The formatting, visuals, and hierarchy of information are surprisingly close to a manually created deck.

Task 3: YouTube Video

For this task, I will be adding a YouTube video link to NotebookLM:

Infographics:

This PCA infographic is one of the cleanest auto-generated explanations I’ve seen. NotebookLM took a dense YouTube lecture and transformed it into a visually structured, beginner-friendly guide that feels like something from a data science textbook. The visuals simplify concepts like eigenvectors, covariance matrices, and dimensionality reduction without losing technical accuracy. Even the diagrams and color-coding reflect strong conceptual clarity. For an output created from a single video transcript, the result is shockingly polished and well-organized, making PCA easier to grasp for new learners.

NotebookLM managed to pull key explanations, formulas, and examples directly from the transcript and arrange them into a logical, educational slide deck. Instead of simply summarizing, it breaks PCA into digestible concepts with clean visuals, definitions, and short explanations, exactly what you would need for teaching or revision.

Who Can Benefit From These Features?

• Students and Learners: Convert lectures, PDFs, and chapters into visual notes or study slides.
• Teachers and Trainers: Create classroom-ready diagrams and presentations without manual formatting.
• Data Scientists and Researchers: Summarize research papers, explain ML concepts visually, and prepare presentations quickly.
