Summary of "NotebookLM MEJORA su FUNCIÓN más INTERESANTE 🤯 ¡Control total!"
Summary — NotebookLM infographic update, how to use it, and an advanced workflow
What’s new / product features
NotebookLM (Google) added an Infographics tool in the right panel that lets you:
- Set language, orientation, and information density (concise → very detailed).
- Choose from several pre-designed visual styles.
- Generate an image from selected notebook sources.
Default generation is fast and useful for quick visuals, but emphasis can vary each run. NotebookLM tends to pull from all given sources, which can introduce unrelated material.
Available visual styles
Ten+ styles are shown; each style combined with a chosen density produces very different outcomes:
- Sketch
- Kawaii
- Anime
- Clay
- Editorial
- Professional
- Scientific
- Vento (minimalist)
- Instructional (chalkboard/manual-like)
- Lego
Advanced method to get total control over content and layout (step-by-step)
- Identify the central theme among your notebook sources (use NotebookLM’s presentation/summary tools to surface topics).
- Use NotebookLM’s Report generation tool with a focused prompt to extract only the information you want (for example: “Create a detailed report focused on the impact of AI on employment… strictly use selected sources”).
- Export the generated report to Google Docs and manually edit/filter it to remove irrelevant sections.
- Download the final edited report as a PDF.
-
Feed that PDF into a custom Gemini assistant (the creator’s GEM / “infographic architect”). The GEM asks four guided questions:
- Main objective (explain, compare, tell a story/evolution, etc.)
- Information density (quick impact, detailed study, data-dense, etc.)
- Visual layout/composition (linear, radial, comparative, network, etc.)
- Main visual element (metaphor, diagrams/flows, characters/icons, etc.)
-
The GEM returns a tailored prompt/instruction for the infographic.
- In NotebookLM: add the edited report as the only source, open Infographics settings, paste the GEM prompt, choose style and density, then click Generate.
- Optionally reuse the same prompt and swap styles/densities (for example: detailed Lego vs concise kawaii) to produce multiple variations quickly.
Example result discussed
Seville housing prices infographic — achieved with the workflow above to define structure and content precisely:
- Four vertical panels:
- Supply / demand
- City metrics (median price, area, value drivers)
- Geography by postal code
- Strategic horizon (opportunities / risks)
Alternate approach — use Gemini directly
- Gemini can search the web in real time and generate infographics from current data (useful for sports, news, and other time-sensitive topics).
- Example: ask Gemini to fetch the day’s top NBA performances and build a realistic infographic.
- Caveat: asking Gemini to change stylistic themes (e.g., anime) may primarily modify character visuals or translations rather than fully redesigning the layout in that style.
Limitations & practical tips
- NotebookLM can be “stubborn” and mix in content from all sources; exporting and editing the report is important to focus outputs.
- The GEM interview step is useful to convert curated content into a precise prompt for NotebookLM.
- Keep the same prompt and just switch style/density to produce brand-consistent variations quickly.
- For real-time needs, use Gemini (web access) rather than NotebookLM’s static notebook sources.
