Google has finally launched NotebookLM to a global audience. It integrates Gemini 1.5 Pro and helps you work on source material. Google heralds it as a great companion for doing research.
Just a day after Google stopped dragging its feet and brought the Gemini app to Europe, the company announced the global availability of NotebookLM which was only available in the US until now.
Briefly, NotebookLM is a tool powered by Google’s latest LLM (large language model), Gemini 1.5 Pro. You pass it source documents and then it can help you work with those documents saving you a tonne of time as you just ask the AI questions. By grounding AI on actual source material, it drastically reduces the likelihood of hallucination which we saw with AI chatbots, but it still isn’t perfect.
When you open a new notebook, you can upload content from Drive, a PDF, a text file, copied text, or a website.
