An Experiment – Top Data Trends for 2025 with Coalesce and Google NotebookLM
Join two LLM generated guests as they discuss the Top Data Trends of 2025 Whitepaper published by Coalesce.
This is a different episode. Instead of a human guest, we have two robot guests.
I decided to try and experiment. My experiment was, can I upload a white paper to LLM, have it generate a podcast listen to that podcast in my daily walk and see whether that summary removes the need for me to actually read the white paper.
So in this case, I have grabbed a white paper called Top Data Trends for 2025 from Coalesce, uploaded it to the Google Notebook LLM and got it to generate a podcast with two hosts chatting about the white paper.
Have a listen, let me know what you think.
