主持人: 我认为 NotebookLM 是去年最重要的生成式 AI 产品,它不仅能更好地完成旧任务,还能创造全新的机会。它处于一个完美的交叉点,不仅能更好地完成旧任务,还能创造全新的机会。 Adam Bignall: 我对语言和知识导航很感兴趣,这促使我从事计算机科学并参与 NotebookLM 的开发。NotebookLM 的早期原型是通过“与小型语料库对话”的任务产生的,旨在探索如何利用 AI 与书籍进行交互。NotebookLM 的开发过程融合了对“思想工具”的探索,并最终发展成为一个强大的知识管理工具。NotebookLM 团队成员大多是艺术家和作家,这使得产品开发过程更具创造性和灵活性。NotebookLM 的成功源于其实用性和创新性,以及用户对音频概述功能的热烈反响。音频概述功能是团队成员自发开发的,并非项目初始计划的一部分。 NotebookLM 的开发既是为了解决实际问题,也为了探索新的可能性。用户行为往往出乎意料,这强调了产品开发中灵活性和实验性的重要性。NotebookLM 的开放性设计允许用户进行各种各样的实验和创新应用。一些非预期用途包括帮助用户在购房过程中分析房屋披露文件;用户可以自定义 NotebookLM 的响应方式,例如模拟书籍中角色的语气进行回答。企业用户和个人用户的 NotebookLM 使用模式相似,主要区别在于使用规模。NotebookLM 不仅仅是一个播客平台,它可以支持多种输出类型,以满足不同用户的需求。 NotebookLM 使得 RAG 技术更加易于理解和使用,并促进了大众对该技术的认知。在NotebookLM中整合代理技术需要谨慎,避免过度使用而影响效率。我希望看到用户利用 NotebookLM 创作长篇小说等作品,将它作为一种创造性工具来使用。
