AI is changing the podcast game.
I recently came across NotebookLM by Google, and I’m honestly blown away. This tool can take data, sources, or even websites and turn them into podcast-style conversations. It’s so natural, it feels like you’re listening to two people having a real conversation—but it’s all AI.
As I dive deeper into AI automation, tools like this remind me just how much potential this space has. Turning raw data into something as engaging as a podcast opens up endless possibilities for businesses, educators, and creators.
Here’s a short snippet of a podcast I generated using NotebookLM. It’s amazing how realistic it sounds.

And trust me, this is going to be way more exciting. Alright, so today we're going to take a deep dive into AI agents. And trust me, this is going to be way more exciting than just hearing about another chat bot. We're talking AI that can book your flight, schedule your meetings, even handle those like super annoying invoices, all with just like one command, right? And you know, our, our main focus here is going to be how this new tech is going to like. Totally shake things up, Yeah, for small businesses and mid sized businesses, especially in 2025. OK. And kind of to guide us through this, you know, we have this really interesting Forbes article by Gene Marks. Yeah. You know, he's a tech writer who really knows his stuff when it comes to like the small business world. Yeah. So he's saying that, you know, up until now, basically in 2024, right, it's been those like big corporations, the ones with, you know, tons of money to throw around, they're the ones who have really been able to like leverage these custom built AI solutions. But smaller businesses, you know, they've mostly just been like experimenting with the more basic tools that are out there. Yeah, that makes sense. You know, it's kind of like, I bet a lot of you listening. Probably like played around with ChatGPT this year, right? But you know, that's really just like barely scratching the surface of what all this AI can really do, right? So gene marks, he actually makes the Super interesting point. He's basically saying that 2025 is going to be the year that all changes. Oh wow, he's predicting like this huge surge in specialized AI software that's not only really powerful, but you know, it's also pre built. Right. And it's actually affordable enough for smaller businesses to like finally jump on board. Interesting. So like, how does that, what does that even look like? I mean, you talk about robots taking over the office or OK, so not quite robot. OK, But imagine this, right? You're running a small business and you are totally drowning in like all those administrative tasks. Yeah, for sure. You know, just piles of paperwork and emails, then suddenly you have access to these AI. Yes, OK. That are like integrated with the software you're already using, OK, like Microsoft Dynamics 365. And these agents can actually qualify your leads for you, reconcile those invoices, even schedule all those back and forth appointment emails and think about how much time that would free up for you. That would be amazing. Yeah, right.
That's fascinating, Sabawoon! AI's ability to transform raw data into engaging content like podcasts is truly impressive. It's amazing to see how much potential AI automation holds for various fields.

I was listening to the GTM AI Podcast and hearing the different use cases of how AI Chatbots are evolving still amazes me.
You can't change or ignore how this will impact the role within sales and customer success and how buyers will be interacting with organisations.
What you can change, is how you adapt and upskill yourself.
I am not just talking your AI capabilities, (although this significantly helps), I am also talking about improving your skills on how you present value to your buyers.
