The AI Explainer Video Experiment

Next week I officially publish the eBook version of Productive Harmony! Starting price just 99 cents! Amazon and other select platforms will release the paperback and hardcover versions a few weeks later.

Now I have to promote it!

My thoughts naturally turned to AI. How can I use AI to make my life easier? How can I use it to promote my book.

The world is content-driven. I am not a graphic artist, video editor or have much in the way of visual, artistic creativity. AI to the rescue.

NotebookLM is one of my favorite tools for looking at content or learning about something in a different, more engaging way. Originally it would take content and generate a podcast. Mind-blowing, but that was last year. Now it can generate full explainer videos.

So, naturally I uploaded my book and generated an explainer video. Two steps. Uploaded my book and clicked the generate video option. I accepted all the defaults and didn't prompt it with any additional information. You have a lot of control but I wanted to see what it would do on its own.

Here's version 1.

It's a little long at six minutes, but captures most of the major themes. The audio and imagery are good, but I have to figure out how to get it to pronounce Kedziora correctly.

Now, I have to give NotebookLM some direction.

Stay tuned to see v2.
