Update 1: Generating Professional Slide Decks and Presentations

Detailed vs. Presenter Slide Options

Click the “Slide” button in Notebook LM. Pick “detailed” for a full deck packed with text. It’s great for emails or handouts to read alone. Go with “presenter” for clean visuals and bullet points. Use those when you talk to a group.

Set the length to short or default. Type in your prompt box. Tell it the style, focus, or format you want. Add a high-level outline if needed.

This works the same for both types. Hit generate. Your deck pops out quick.

Source Selection for Targeted Decks

Here’s a smart tip. With “select sources,” pick just a few from your list. Say three out of 33. The deck builds only from those. Make varied decks on one topic by swapping sources.
