NotebookLM, the AI assistant from Google Labs, transforms your PDFs, notes, web pages, or transcribed videos into an interactive research notebook :
- Instant summaries and comparisons of your sources ;
- Targeted responses with citations from the original sources to limit hallucinations;
- AI-generated audio podcast to review your content on the go.
Each notebook can contain up to 50 documents, which is sufficient to cover lecture notes, a research project, or a body of analysis. This performance is based on the Google Gemini language model, the engine behind NotebookLM, which is capable of processing large amounts of context.
The tool is free and has been praised by NVIDIA’s CEO as one of the most concrete and useful examples of AI applied to productivity and learning.
💡 Best practices: NotebookLM operates in the cloud; only import public documents, so no private, sensitive, or confidential documents.
