AI has now been truly democratized, at least among those with reliable internet access. It’s no longer just tech professionals; people across various fields are using AI in their everyday work. I’ve been meaning to write a longer piece on how AI is reshaping our work and lives, but that will have to wait a little longer. In the meantime, I’ve been exploring Google’s NotebookLM, and it is quite a fascinating tool. I’ve already shared an audio podcast it generated based on Why fit-in, when you can shine! Now, NotebookLM can also generate video, so I gave it a try; and the results are pretty good.
My Zen Path: From An AI Perspective
Here is an interesting Video of What My Zen Path is and its journey in the last one decade, by Google’s NotebookLM. Check it out yourself.
It is quite impressive how AI captures timeline (2015 launch), key articles, stories and even categorizes them properly. I especially like how it discovers and presents three pillars of My Zen Path. It would have take me a few days to come up with one such video, but I could get this generated in ~10 minutes and it perfectly serves the purpose of introducing what My Zen Path is all about.
And here is a text introduction by ChatGPT that I find quite lovely, what do you think?
My Zen Path is a quiet place to pause and reflect. Perhaps a gentle resting spot on the long, winding journey of life. It began with a simple quest: to understand not just what we do, but why we do it, and who we become along the way.
Here, work and self are not distant routes, but threads in the same unfolding tapestry.There are no maps here, only lanterns, some stories, psychology-backed insights, and moments of stillness. You won’t find quick fixes or bold claims here, only honest questions, thoughtful pauses, and an occasional glimmer of clarity.
Like a companion walking beside you, this space offers experiences and reflections, not to lead, but to walk with you, gently, as you make your own way toward meaning, self-awareness, and a more fulfilling life.
