Getting Set Up With NotebookLM
If youâre using Google Drive and/or have PDFs you want to chat with, Googleâs latest release, NotebookLM is a game changer.
How it works: select multiple files from Drive or uploaded PDFs and the tool becomes an expert that you can collaborate with. Connecting to NotebookLM is easier than turning on your out-of-office before signing off for the holidays.
Step 1: Create your first notebook by clicking on âNew Notebookâ and entering a project title.
Step 2: On the left side of the page, click âAdd Sourceâ to upload copied text, a PDF, or select content from Google Drive. You can select up to 20 sources per notebook.
Step 3: Type your questions into the chat bar at the bottom of the page. You might ask NotebookLM to:
Explain content
Point out main themes
Help you brainstorm
Identify relevant statistics
and so much more
Step 4: Click on your uploaded source to see a summary and key topics.
Step 5: You can share notebooks with any number of people in the same domain as your account (ie. @yourcompany.com)
Oh, and if youâre thinking âCool, but what about my data?â, then youâre in luck. They ignore itâŚ
