01 / belief
“I think the funniest thing was that... So my husband doesn't know, right? He doesn't know what I'm doing.”
02 / uncertainty
“To me it feels very similar to the ChatGPT moment where the technology already existed, they had that same GPT model out for I don't know how long, but just that new medium and new way of interacting with it changed the way people imagine.”
03 / belief
“" Clicked on Upload Google Doc, and maybe the last thing you had there was your resume or something. But imagine you click that and I think there's something really special about, you don't know what's going to happen.”
04 / belief
“Learned a lot on that one. Definitely a learning experience for everyone, I think.”
05 / commitment
“" And I remember when we stood up the server, actually, one of the things I was most afraid of is, what if nobody joins? What if no people come in and want to talk to us about the thing that we built?”
06 / preference
“What I especially love about this vision you're describing, it super resonates with this insight I've had. So I've had a newsletter and then I had just a podcast that's just audio, and then I added video and I realized that there's just people that I just want to watch stuff and there's people that I just want to listen to stuff and then there's people I just want to read.”
07 / preference
“I mean, I love the resume ones. I think the resume ones are so delightful. And actually really adjacent to that is Google has these Q3 check-ins or quarterly check-ins where we have to write performance reviews for ourselves.”
08 / preference
“How do I go about finding the answer? And I think we've seen different approaches to this where you just put the tool out there, you study how people are using it, and I think that's a fine approach, but we try to have a little bit more of a hypothesis about what is the shape of this thing to actually get the most learning out of it.”
09 / evaluation
“Alongside, the Content Studio is designed to bring out the best of that model. And I think when we listened to a lot of the early attempts that we had, it wasn't nearly this good.”
10 / prediction
“The thing that I wanted to do from the get-go, which was I imagine that in the future you could have an AI editor surface, fully remixable, any input, any output. And that to me is a really powerful core nugget where if you imagine you could take anything, whether it's video, audio, your emails, your LinkedIn, your Twitter, the world of things that we care about, you have an AI interface that allows you to shape it and say, "Look out of these things, make me a blog post.”
11 / commitment
“Maybe I watch Steven and I look at the way that he does these things and I look at how much time it takes for him to do it, and then I make it my own metric to crunch that down, to bring that expertise to everyday people who are not Steven Johnson.”
12 / prediction
“I think particularly for educators, for learners, for professionals, knowledge workers, as we call them, I think there's a lot there that we'll be able to execute against in the very short term.”
13 / evaluation
“5 Pro as sort of the base for NotebookLM, and then we have a powerful voice model on top of it, an audio model on top of it. But I think the real secret sauce to what makes this really good is something we've built, which is a content studio.”
14 / observation
“Huge interest from professionals that are like, "Wow, I want to use this to work." And really funny, I won't mention the company, but I actually had a call with a company recently where they were like, "Hey, we thought we'd schedule a meeting with you because we found out that a bunch of people in our company are using this tool with their Gmail account.”
