Google NotebookLM is an AI-powered research and note-taking assistant designed to help users synthesize information from their own documents. Built on Google's advanced language models, NotebookLM enables users to upload sources—such as PDFs, Google Docs, and copied text—and then ask questions, generate summaries, and explore ideas grounded in their personal content. It is ideal for academic research, project planning, and knowledge management.
