Google adds 10 customizable infographic styles to NotebookLM

Google has been updating NotebookLM with more flexible tools for generating infographics. In the most recent builds, a significant update was discovered: users will soon be able to choose from a new visual style selector for infographics, with a total of ten distinct options. These options include an auto-selection mode and 9 specific styles: sketch, kawaii, professional, anime, 3D clay, editorial, storyboard, bento grid, and bricks. Each style presents a unique visual approach, enabling users to adapt the appearance of infographics to better match their intended audience or platform.

For example, sketch and kawaii styles offer a more playful presentation suitable for informal channels or younger audiences, while professional, editorial, and bento grid styles are designed for more structured use cases such as LinkedIn or internal presentations. The inclusion of anime and 3D clay options allows for even more creative flexibility, appealing to content creators looking for distinctive visuals.

Initial access to these styles reveals that all of them are functional and offer considerable customization. The ability to fine-tune infographic visuals according to personal or brand preferences could help NotebookLM expand its relevance for professionals and educators who rely on polished or stylized visuals to communicate information. The auto-selection mode provides a default experience, but users wanting more control can quickly switch between modes as needed.

This update is in line with Google’s strategy to position NotebookLM as a versatile tool for both productivity and creative work, leveraging AI to simplify content production while still allowing for a degree of personalization. Google continues to iterate on NotebookLM’s AI-driven features to make it useful across different industries and content workflows, and the addition of customizable infographic styles fits into this vision.

Given that the feature is already working in current builds, there is a reasonable expectation that it could become generally available soon, although the precise timeline remains unknown.
