AI Quick Tips 341: Try a different infographic style in NotebookLM

If you’ve used NotebookLM before then you are probably familiar with the infographic artifacts.

If not, here is the 5 bullet workflow -

  • Go to notebooklm.google.com
  • Create a notebook
  • Add at least one source to that notebook
  • Select at least one source (or verify that one source is selected)
  • Click on Infographic under Studio

 

Recent Updates

One of the updates that Google made to NotebookLM semi-recently is adding a visual style section to the Customize Infographic page.A screenshot of the "Customize Infographic" menu in NotebookLM. It displays options for language, orientation (Landscape, Portrait, Square), and visual styles including Sketch Note, Kawaii, Professional, Scientific, and Anime. A text box at the bottom allows for custom descriptions to guide style and color.


One thing that a lot of people miss is that they aren’t limited to those visual styles. They are just ideas to get you past “blank page syndrome”. You can have any style that you are able to describe clearly.

 

To demonstrate this, I have a notebook with a source that goes to a website about how to cook a ribeye. I created an infographic from that source with a visual style that is not in NotebookLM’s list.


Here is the prompt that I used -

A screenshot of a "Custom Prompt" window in NotebookLM. The text box contains a detailed prompt requesting a "premium looking glass-morphic UI style with multi-layered frosted glass panels and a soft ambient glow" for an infographic on how to pan-sear a ribeye.

 

And here is the end result -

A high-tech "Glass-morphic" infographic titled "The Art of the Sear: A High-Precision Guide to Pan-Searing Ribeye." Information is organized into three floating, translucent frosted glass panels with neon blue, orange, and purple outlines. The panels detail Phase 1 (Preparation), Phase 2 (Searing Sequence), and Phase 3 (Precision Doneness & Resting), featuring glowing icons and a detailed doneness guide table.

 

Try something new… (then have a ribeye)
