Tool of the month
NotebookLM is an experimental AI-based tool from Google that uses the Google Gemini model. As the authors say - It helps you “think your best” by reading, taking notes, asking questions, and organising your ideas. In other words, NotebookLM is like an AI-based research assistant that helps users better understand, summarise, brainstorm, and generate ideas based on their submitted sources. NotebookLM excels in workflows that involve synthesising information spread across multiple documents. Some of the main features of this tool are uploading multiple sources, using the Notebook Guide, asking questions, taking notes, changing articles into a podcast, and suggesting actions.
