NotebookLM by Google

Google NotebookLM is an AI-powered experimental tool designed to act as a virtual research assistant, tailored to enhance the efficiency of your projects by leveraging the documents and information most crucial to you.

Upon uploading these vital documents, NotebookLM quickly becomes expert in the areas of your interest, offering personalized assistance. As such, the tool enables users to transition smoothly between reading, asking questions, and writing — with AI assistance facilitating every step.

As noted, NotebookLM aims to streamline the research and writing process — turning information into insight, and helping users to generate first drafts of their work more swiftly. Formats supported by NotebookLM range from outlines and blog posts to business plans, making it useful for various creative and professional writing tasks.

We should also mention privacy here, as NotebookLM is made by Google. It assures users that their personal data, especially sensitive information contained within the uploaded documents, remains private and is not used to train the AI itself. According to Google, this means the confidentiality of the user’s information is preserved unless they opt to share their sources with collaborators.
