When it comes to learning and absorbing information, AI can be a huge help. Look no further than Google’s NotebookLM which takes almost any kind of content you’re trying to consume, whether you are trying to absorb PDFs, reading challenging texts, or organizing all of your notes and turns them into brilliant podcast-like conversations that explain concepts in a conversational way that makes it easy to digest. Google has quietly rolled out NotebookLM integration into Chrome (only on Android, for now), and it’s fantastic, but it’s possible you didn’t even notice.<\/p>\n

If you’re running the latest version of Chrome on Android, you can access the “Listen to this Page” feature by navigating to any webpage –<\/strong> pressing the three dot menu<\/strong> in the bottom right corner, then tapping Listen to this Page<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

What’s fantastic is that you can get audio summaries of any web content, like articles, PDFs, or any other information. But perhaps the most useful thing to do is to go to a homepage of your favorite news source where ‘Listen to this Page’ will quickly summarize dozens of stories in less than two minutes. I tried it on CNBC, The Verge, and MakeUseOf, and each time the audio says “Here’s the latest news from CNBC homepage” and proceeds to go through a minute and a half of quick-hitting updates. You can get a full overview of what’s happening on any news source without having to click onto individual stories.<\/p>\n
