How To Use NotebookLM 📝 Next Level Notetaking + AI Knowledge Assistant

Hi Friends, my name is Callum aka wanderloots. In this video, I walk through how to use NotebookLM to take your notes to the next level with your personal AI knowledge assistant 📝 🤖

NotebookLM is Google's FREE & PRIVATE artificial intelligence research assistant that has changed the way I use my notes & consume information.

NotebookLM lets me work with my notes and knowledge by speeding up my ability to extract insights from long-form sources (PDFs, YouTube videos, podcasts, voice notes, meeting recordings, markdown and more).

In this tutorial, I explain what notebookLM is, why you should care about it, and how you can get started, going from beginner to advanced use cases for knowledge workers (people who think for a living), students, & creators.

Also, there is an incredible feature to generate a podcast between two AIs discussing your sources and notes 🤯 The audio overview gives an excellent third party perspective on your thoughts, ideas, and knowledge

With a context window of 25,000,000 tokens (50 sources), NotebookLM helps me work with more information than any other AI tool, including ChatGPT.

I hope you find it as helpful as I do! ✨

P.S. I greatly appreciate any feedback, please let me know what you think in the comments 😊
