Description
NotebookLM turns your uploaded materials into an interactive research assistant. Drop in up to 50 sources — PDFs, Google Docs, web pages, YouTube transcripts, audio recordings — and ask questions, generate study guides, or produce a podcast-style audio summary with two AI hosts discussing your content. Every answer cites the source paragraph it came from.
