NotebookLM, which debuted last year, is a free AI research assistant (running on Gemini 2.0’s multimodal understanding capabilities) that helps you better understand any topic. You can give it a number of data sources, including PDF files, links to articles, YouTube video links, and Google Docs or Slides.
Offering a few usage examples, Google says you can do things like:
Upload lecture recordings, textbook chapters, and research papers to break down complex concepts into simple terms.
Upload your own research to create a polished presentation outline complete with key talking points and supporting evidence.Upload brainstorming notes, market research data, and competitor research info to identify current trends, find new product ideas, and discover hidden opportunities.
