What Is NotebookLM?
NotebookLM, Google’s research partner.
I think it is Google’s best AI tool.
Simply upload files(check out supported files below), or do a deep search & fast research to generate NotebookLM.
Unlike ChatGPT, it is less prone to hallucination because it is trained on the document you uploaded.
