Recently, I came across a YouTube video where a person was using the Google tool NotebookLM to generate a podcast episode. I was intrigued by the idea and decided to try it out myself using the Malayalam language ๐ŸŒด๐Ÿ“ป.

person winking and saying -  made with AI

I used the same tool to generate a podcast episode in Malayalam. The process was quite simple and straightforward โœจ. The topic I chose was โ€˜Njan, Ente, Enikkuโ€™ which is a way of saying โ€˜Iโ€™ in Malayalam. I added a few YouTube links from Elikutty, Fluent in Malayalam, and my own notes to generate the episode ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ”—.

The generated episode was quite interesting and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the content ๐Ÿ˜. The AI was able to generate a coherent and engaging episode that sounded like a real podcast. I was truly impressed by the capabilities of the AI ๐Ÿคฏ.

I did ask a few people to listen to the episode and give me their feedback ๐ŸŽง๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ. Most of them were surprised that it was generated by AI and not a real person! They found the content to be engaging and informative. However, they were not happy with the pronunciation of a few words ๐Ÿค”. I think this is a limitation of the AI and it will improve over time as the technology advances โš™๏ธ.

One thing I can guarantee โœ… โ€” the content generated is absolutely useful and doesnโ€™t contain any misinformation ๐Ÿ™Œ.

๐ŸŽง The full episode is available on my Spotify Link.

๐Ÿ“– Additionally, I created a pronunciation guide for the words that were mispronounced. You can find it here: Pronunciation Website.

๐Ÿ’ฌ I would love to hear your feedback on the episode! Let me know if I should continue making more of these or stop it altogether! ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ’ก Please share your comments under post-100.
