Behind the product: NotebookLM | Raiza Martin (Senior Product Manager, AI @ Google Labs)

Raiza Martin, senior product manager for AI at Google Labs and product lead for NotebookLM, explains how the tool grew from a scrappy 20%-time project with a handful of engineers into a widely used AI product, including how the audio Deep Dive podcast feature emerged from experimenting with Google's newer voice and Gemini models. She discusses working inside Labs' fast, low-process environment, partnering with author Stephen Johnson, and surprising use cases like resumes, performance reviews, and viral audio experiments.
