NotebookLM is an AI-powered notebook tool developed by Google that helps you work with information more effectively. It allows you to upload sources (like PDFs, documents, and web pages), ask questions about them, and generate insights, summaries, and other outputs based on those sources.

Unlike general AI chatbots, NotebookLM grounds its responses in your specific sources, making it particularly valuable for research, learning, and content creation where accuracy and source attribution are important.

Yes, NotebookLM has a free tier that allows you to create notebooks with limited sources.

Our course covers both the free and Plus versions, so you can decide which is right for your needs.

NotebookLM supports various source types, including:

• PDF documents
• Text files (.txt)
