NotebookLM is an AI-powered research and writing tool designed to help you summarize and extract information from complex sources.
This virtual research assistant analyzes (only!) the information you provide. Unlike general AI agents like Gemini, NotebookLM works exclusively with the sources you upload. It doesn't pull information from the internet and therefore can't invent unverifiable details. In your notebook, you can use the checkbox next to each source to indicate whether you want to include or exclude it to answer your question.
-
Creates overviews: You can upload various types of sources, including PDFs, Google Docs, Google Slides, website URLs, YouTube videos, audio files, and text files. NotebookLM can then summarize these sources, highlight key points, and answer specific questions about the content.
-
Transforms information: The tool can convert your source material into various formats, such as study guides, briefings, mind maps or even podcasts.
-
Provides sources and references: For every result NotebookLM generates, it provides clear citations back to the original sources, allowing you to verify the accuracy of the information yourself. You can hover over a reference to instantly see the original full text. When you select the citation, NotebookLM automatically navigates to the location of the citation, making it easy to view in the source.
-
Seamless integration: NotebookLM is seamlessly integrated with Google Workspace. You can easily import Google Docs and Slides directly from Google Drive. You can share your notebook with colleagues within the Workspace or publicly.
-
Personalized output: With NotebookLM's pro features, you can customize your desired answer length and even your conversational style.
- Protected sources: Uploaded data remains private and is not used to train Google's AI models.
