About this app
Overview, features and application details
Google’s AI research assistant. Drop in your sources and get summaries, answers, and podcast-style audio overviews.
NotebookLM is Google’s AI notebook that thinks with your sources instead of the open web. Upload documents, paste links, or add YouTube videos, and the AI answers questions grounded in exactly what you gave it — with citations you can check.
That grounding is the whole point. Instead of generic answers, you get responses tied to your research, your class notes, or your project docs. Summaries, timelines, FAQs, and study guides generate in seconds from your own material.
The standout feature is Audio Overviews: two AI hosts discuss your sources like a podcast episode. It is a surprisingly effective way to absorb dense material during a commute or a walk.
For students, researchers, and anyone drowning in documents, NotebookLM turns a pile of sources into a conversation. Upload, ask, and actually understand.
