You drag and drop, zoom in and out, and watch as the AI lines up your notes in a way that actually makes sense. If you’ve ever wished you could see the bigger picture at a glance, NotebookLM’s mind map feature might be the fresh approach you’ve been waiting for. Check out the tutorial section below for a quick How To use it.

💬 OpenAI’s New Voice Tools Let You Add Speech to Apps in Seconds - No Joke.

🐝 The Buzz: OpenAI just dropped some slick new voice models under GPT-4o Transcribe, making it ridiculously easy to add voice to your apps. Want your chatbot to talk back, or your app to read stuff out loud like it’s narrating a podcast? You can now plug in speech capabilities without needing a full dev team and a miracle.
New Voice + Transcription Models: OpenAI launched upgraded models that handle both high-quality text-to-speech and fast, accurate transcription.
5 Unique Voices Available: You can choose from a set of natural-sounding voices, so your app doesn’t sound like it time-traveled from 2012.
Built for Speed: The new models respond in milliseconds—yes, real-time conversations with your app are finally here.
Easy Integration: Add speech to your app with just a few lines of code, no heavyweight setup required.
💡 Takeaway: Voice is finally catching up with text when it comes to AI, and OpenAI just made it super accessible.
