Google is finally fixing the most annoying thing about NotebookLM slide decks

Source: Android Authority

TL;DR

• Google has revealed that NotebookLM now lets you modify slides with a prompt.
• This is a welcome addition, as you previously had to generate your slide deck all over again if you didn’t like one slide.
• Google also revealed that slides can now be exported in the PPTX format.

NotebookLM adds slide‑editing and PPTX export

NotebookLM is one of the more useful AI tools on the market right now, allowing you to collate info from your own sources into an easily digestible virtual notebook or podcast format. The tool gained support for slide decks last year, and Google has finally addressed a key limitation.

Google revealed via the NotebookLM Twitter account (h/t: Android Police) that the AI tool now lets you refine and modify slides with a prompt. That’s great news, as you couldn’t actually modify slides before. That meant if you were unhappy with one slide in a generated slide deck, you had to generate the whole deck all over again.

Additional updates

• Export: Users can now export slide decks in the PPTX format, enabling editing in PowerPoint and similar applications.
• Future support: Unspecified Google Slides support is coming next.
• Rollout: The slide‑modification feature is available now for Pro and Ultra subscribers. Free users can expect it to arrive in the “coming weeks.”
