AI-powered notebook and research assistant from Google that turns your documents into a personalized knowledge base
NotebookLM, developed by Google Labs, is a document-grounded AI tool that lets you upload PDFs, slides, web pages, videos and more, and then interact with the content via natural-language questions, summaries, study guides, and even audio overviews. The model is grounded in your sources and provides citations, making it suitable for research, learning and productivity workflows.
Upload diverse sources (PDFs, Google Docs, websites, YouTube transcripts) and ground the AI in them.
Ask questions about your uploaded material and receive answers with citations back to relevant passages.
Generate summaries, glossaries, timelines, and other structured outputs from your sources.
Create Audio Overview podcast-style conversations about your content and listen on the go.
Large context windows, personalized notebooks, and upgrade tiers for expanded capacity and advanced research workflows.
Students uploading lecture slides, readings and research papers then asking for study guides or key-term glossaries.
Knowledge workers consolidating scattered documents (reports, meeting notes, articles) into a single notebook and querying across them.
Researchers preparing a literature review by uploading dozens of sources and asking for topic summaries, comparisons and citations.
Professionals needing to view content through different lenses – e.g., generate briefing documents, Q&A chats, or audio summaries from internal reports.
Faster time to insight by turning a pile of documents into an interactive research assistant.
Improved knowledge retention via structured outputs like glossaries, timelines or audio content instead of just reading.
Better document management and query capability – all your sources become searchable and interactable in one place.
Enhanced citation transparency and grounded AI outputs reduce the risk of hallucination compared to unguided models.
