Gemini Notebook turns your own files into briefings and audio recaps

So you get answers from your own material, not guesses from the internet.

The problem

Your research, client docs and old posts are scattered, and general AI chatbots make things up when you ask about them.

What it is, what it does

Gemini Notebook, Google's tool previously called NotebookLM, is an AI research assistant that works only from the sources you add. It answers questions about them and turns them into reports, slides, flashcards, infographics, and audio or video overviews. Google AI Plus, Pro and Ultra plans raise the limits.

Workflow

1. 1Create a notebook in Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM) and add your PDFs, docs, links and transcripts
2. 2Ask questions and get answers grounded in those sources, not the open web
3. 3Generate a report, slides, an infographic or an Audio Overview to listen to on the go
4. 4Check key facts against the original source, then reuse the summary in a post, pitch or client brief
