Hi Friends, my name is Callum aka wanderloots. In today's video, I walk through NotebookLM's latest feature: The Mind Map. The New Mind Map feature adds a visual & dynamic element to my note-taking, research, & writing, already becoming one of my favourite NotebookLM features📝💡
New ideas, surfacing insights, making connections, distilling complex information, there is no end to how AI can boost the notes you're already taking✨ The Mind Map takes this analysis to the next level with clean visual organization of hundreds of topics & categories to simplify your analysis and reduce information overload/burnout.
NotebookLM is a free & private AI tool that accepts up to 50 sources. Once you've uploaded sources, you can chat with them, prepare briefing docs/summaries, and even generate an Audio Overview where two AIs create a podcast about your uploaded sources & notes 🤯
The mind map can be downloaded or shared with others, providing a beautiful visualization of a massive amount of information.
I've really enjoyed using this feature to help me analyze my YouTube videos, newsletter, notes from Obsidian, and generally to learn, research, and write.
Anyone can benefit from this tool, including: students, researchers, knowledge workers, corporate workers, teams, content creators... really, anyone looking to learn anything!
I hope you enjoy! ✨
