Three members of Google’s NotebookLM team, including team lead Raiza Martin, designer Jason Spielman, and engineer Stephen Hughes, are leaving the company to start a new venture. The startup, currently in stealth mode, aims to build a user-first AI product that makes the benefits of AI technology accessible and useful to everyday people. The specifics of the startup, including its name and purpose, remain undisclosed.

Martin hinted that the startup would be consumer-facing and leverage the latest AI models. Although the startup is in its early stages and has not announced any funding, Martin noted that the support from outside of Google has been tremendous. The team's future plans and focus areas, whether similar to NotebookLM's AI-generated podcasts and AI-assisted notetaking or entirely different, are yet to be revealed.
