The app offers a number of functions such as creating dictionaries, annotations and even creating scripts for videos. The main purpose of NotebookLM is to facilitate faster learning and understanding.

What is known about the application

NotebookLM differs from traditional chatbots by leveraging existing user content and applying AI capabilities for deeper understanding. Google emphasizes that this is a key differentiator of the solution.

After adding a Google Doc to NotebookLM, the program automatically generates a table of contents and provides users with relevant topics and potential questions for better understanding. The program can respond to requests for uploaded documents, compile glossaries of key terms, and provide summaries of certain aspects of the material.

When it comes to pitching, NotebookLM helps formulate questions for potential investors. In addition, users can get video script suggestions by sharing their ideas with the artificial intelligence supported system.

When NotebookLM becomes available

Developed by a dedicated team at Google Labs, NotebookLM is currently being tested with a select group of users in the United States. Google wants to gather feedback and improve the technology before it becomes more mainstream. Those interested in learning the software can join a waiting list to gain access.

Originally announced as Project Tailwin during Google I/O, NotebookLM is just one of the latest additions to Google’s growing repertoire of tools. Alongside this AI application, Google has also introduced new features for Google Bard, including adding images to tooltips.

As NotebookLM continues to be tested and improved, users can expect an advanced AI tool designed to streamline document processing and improve the learning process. With Google at the forefront of AI development, the potential for future advancements in this area remains promising.
