Google just made a new note app | NotebookLM review
Google recently announced NotebookLM, which is not just a typical note app, but more like an AI collaborator that can help you understand ideas and write better.
It’s actually the kind of app I wish I had when I was a uni student, because it would have made it a lot easier to write papers and essays. So if you’re currently a student, academic, writer, or even a teacher, you might want to check it out.
What It Can Do
NotebookLM has a design that feels familiar, much like using Google Keep, which many people appreciate for its simplicity and ease of use. Just like Google Keep, NotebookLM is also intuitive and easy to use. On the left side of the screen, you have your resources, and on the right, you have your notes and chat space with AI:
It looks basic, but it’s a pretty handy tool for processing lots of information and making sense of it. Imagine you’ve got a bunch of different pieces of information from PDFs, Google Docs, or even just chunks of text from websites. NotebookLM takes this mash-up of information and helps make sense of it all.

Automatic Content Analysis
Now, let’s see some of the key features of the NotebookLM.
One is automatic content analysis. When you feed links or documents into it, NotebookLM doesn’t just store them — it actively analyses the content. This means it digs through all the text and gives you the gist of it in a more digestible form.
For example, you can feed it a bunch of articles, and it’ll distil them into the key insights, saving you from doing this whole process manually.
