Prepping for a uni presentation, revising for finals or trying to pull key insights from a one-hour video interview? NotebookLM is like a personal AI co-pilot for knowledge building. Based on the material you upload, it analyses your sources, delivers clear summaries and gives you fast, accurate answers.

Wondering where to start? Here are three features we absolutely love.

NotebookLM only uses what you give it. Upload lecture notes, academic papers, websites or YouTube videos – you can add up to 50 sources and be confident that the AI is working with reliable material.

“What’s the main argument in Chapter 3?” or “What points did the speaker make in that interview?”. Ask any question, and NotebookLM will respond with a concise answer, complete with footnotes that link directly to your source material. It’s all powered by Gemini, Google’s AI engine that works fast and accurately behind the scenes.

Prefer listening to reading? NotebookLM turns your documents into audio summaries, delivered as a casual dialogue between two AI voices. Think of it as a radio-style chat show tailored to your study material. Perfect for revising on the go, while cooking or during a walk.
