Upload all your long and complex PDFs, websites, YouTube videos, or text into a notebook.

💬 INSIGHTS YOU CAN TRUST
NotebookLM becomes an expert on your sources, summarizing them and making interesting connections. Then, you can ask it questions about, well, anything — and you can trust the answers, since your sources are cited in-line.

🎧 LEARN ON YOUR TERMS
Long blocks of text not your preferred way to learn? Transform what you uploaded into something more your speed, like a podcast-style audio discussion with two engaging AI hosts. You can even join the show to ask questions or steer the conversation in a different direction.

Ratings and reviews

Amazing 😍! But I think it should have more advanced features, like control over the length, a detailed version of the audio overview, and a more conversational tone where the person not only answers questions from the book but also asks thoughtful questions that the book itself doesn’t address. Talking pace (not audio speed), interaction (you can ask questions in audio overview), teacher mode, detailed mode, This app has the potential to revolutionize learning.

Note: I request google to just make it possible to upload gdocs for convenience. Honest review: I straight up recommend this to every student in the world; especially high school or collage students. This app is just a monster when it comes to making people understand courses, videos, pdf's etc... Just awesome! It helped me in my crucial times when a test or exam was nearing up. It's just a lifesaver!!

Will give it 5 stars if... A very good concept and have the ability to become the default no. 1 note app if only the following could be improved: 1) faster rendering of the notes into audio 2) ability to scan texts from pictures and include them as a source 3) fix the shared link as a source. 4) my personal pet peeve: make it consistent with the material U/expressive design.
