Google offers an experimental tool called NotebookLM, which is a simple notes app that operates within your web browser. What sets it apart is its use of Google’s generative AI chatbot, known as Bard or Duet AI and now rebranded as Gemini, to analyze text sources and generate notes based on the information in them.
Here are some scenarios where NotebookLM can be useful:
- Summarizing a long document
- Extracting insights from multiple documents on a specific topic
- Bringing together and summarizing information from online research
This guide will walk you through setting up and using NotebookLM. To get started, you’ll need a Google user account and be at least 18 years old and living in the US. Keep in mind that generative AI tools are still in their early stages and may sometimes provide inaccurate information. Fact-checking is essential when using NotebookLM or any other genAI tool.
In NotebookLM, a “notebook” contains one or more notes, and you can create multiple notebooks for different projects. To start a new notebook, click “New Notebook” on the start page and enter a name for the new notebook. Once saved, NotebookLM will switch to a new page showing the workspace of your new notebook.
When adding text sources for NotebookLM to analyze, you can choose from Google Drive, PDFs stored on your PC, or copied text from your PC clipboard or web links. After making your choice, the text sources will appear as cards on the panel on the left side of the workspace.
