Google has released a new platform called NotebookLM that may change how you do research, take notes, and organize everything online.
NotebookLM lets you read, take notes, ask questions, organize your ideas, and much more -- all with the power of Google AI helping you at every step of the way.
NotbeookLM is powered by Google's latest AI model Gemini.
You can access NotebookLM with a free Google account. notebooklm.google.com/
It will be limited to user outside of the U.S. but check for yourself to see if it’s available to you.
To start using NotebookLM, first, we need to create a notebook. A notebook is where I’ll store everything related to one topic that I’m researching. In this case, I’m working on a course for another AI tool called Microsoft Copilot, so I’ll store all my research in one page.
Then, you need to add a source. The source can be documented in your Google Drive, PDFs, text files, or copied text.
You can add 20 different documents from Drive, each containing 200,000 words.
Once you add one or more sources, you can use the chat box and prompt it to interact with your sources.
With each chat, you can choose to pin the chat to keep track of all your conversations.

I would say that most likely Google would not only steal my information but give me a woke answer. After all, it's not everyday you receive a lying picture of George Washington when he turns out to be black from a Google AI !
Perfect. It's like getting an assistant to read all those documents, and asking the person a query, instead of you reading your own materials -- pretty much what a lawyer does to their paralegals.

Asking your paralegals to read text for you is like asking the dish washer to cook in a fine dining restaurant. It saves a lot of time for the chef, but the result may taste a lot „different“
The problem is Google's dark history of abandoning tools. That's the problem of upload tools. Much rather have a local tool, local data, even ignoring all privacy concerns...

Google doesn't really "abandon" anything that is successful. Users either don't pay or don't use. The "killed by" trope was funny 15 years ago. It gets traction, I get. If users actually used it and, more importantly, PAID FOR IT there's no way that Google would discontinue. Can you name one product that was a commercial/financial success and Google killed it? I'll wait. I hate the cult of Apple. But Apple's customers show up with their wallets to pay for Apple products/services. Microsoft also "kills" stuff either outright or just doesn't update it all making it unusable. What's your poison? Google runs massive analytics on usage, engagement, etc. If users aren't using/paying properly, guess what happens. Lesson learned. Google moves on. You should too.

@@GregSzarama how so? You're sharing your own notes information to them. You can't tell me they are not using this data to train AI
Thank you. Will check it out starting tomorrow, because my business project requires a lot of notes, writing, scripting, etc. This video is perfect timing. Thank you so much.
As a Notes freak, I loved this news. I'll try it out.
this is the best productivity hack for me for this year, thanks!!!
Very interesting! Will definitely will be following this closely. Thanks for sharing.
Integrating NotebookLM with Google Scholar can streamline the process of gathering academic insights and industry trends, giving you a competitive edge in your business strategy. Keep it concise and focused for maximum efficiency.

Good night. How do you use or apply Google Scholar into your work? Whenever you have time, an answer will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Have a good night!
And as it’s still labeled ‘experiment’ and not available within the Workplace offering, I guess it’s a great tool for training Gemini, too 😉 But then again, as it’s just available within the US the training data is feeding the (cultural) bias of the model.
Very cool idea, I’ll check it out. Notice selecting specific sources can help reduce hallucinations, but it won't eliminate them completely, as the AI's underlying model still plays a role.
I tried to use this to find a relationship between two historical documents. The result was a spinning icon for over an hour. Same documents, same prompt to chatGPT 4, response was fast and very insightful. Still seems to have a long way to go before it can compete.
NotebookLM corpus is still essentially the web. For example, you can ask a totally unrelated question to your sources and it will still produce a coherent response. (Using the lightbulb provided example, I asked about making a dairy-free cake). When asking NotebookLM directly if their corpus is beyond the attached sources, the response is yes. When asking if hallucinations are still possible, the response is yes and the LM will pull data from beyond the attached sources
Goodluck with your data
This is fantastic. I can't wait for it to come to my country. I wonder if it can somehow be integrated with Keep.
Great video. It needs a feature to read PDF files stored on my Google Drive
Only access your own ‘private’ stuff….on google drive lol. You are the product.
I love this idea. It's like an LLM with memory which is what chatGPT is doing right now. I see there are many privacy concerns here, but web APIs are a platform-independent way of making apps these days and I don't think the future is making apps on a specific platform for everything to be local anymore, unfortunately (or at least give it the guise of being so).
would be awesome if it could also take sources as audio.. for like recording lectures and making notes from that
Amazing!
You have your own pkm database or something like that. Neat!
It absolutely still can hallucinate. The underlying LLM is still trained on the web. This is just a compression layer to focus a prompt response.

yes, and in my case, I caught it pulling in extraneous information that was technically accurate, but was from about a century AFTER the material was written. I can see how there's a use case for pulling in information, but there's also a use case if I want to know about that specific thing, in the mind of that specific author in 1850, and it starts talking to me about 1967.

Do you know if it will/does read images? A lot of my evernote's are images.
Seems like obsidian with an ai plugin would do the same thing but better/privately
great way to collect data btw :3
Does anyone know what tool he is using to record this video (the screen recording + face recording combination)
LLM hallucinations aren’t a result of web access or input context. It’s the result of a probability based algorithm with the trained data.
divorcing searches or tasks or projects from the internet strikes me as too limited. I don't want to do a project that does not go beyond my knowledge base, as I am not the largest company or entity that knows it all. I ALWAYS want to EXPAND my knowledge, not just my own notes regurgitated (that's just an editor, just a re-writer). It is as you say a great note-taker, but that does not change much for me. Thanks for making this so clear, I signed into it and might keep it near my available AI tools, but I was already doing this in OpenAI Knowledge uploads to my GPT Assistants.

I would assume the model is less likely to hallucinate things if it is just a pretrained model fine tuned on user provided documents. I think it really is just better oriented for research work, where there's less data pertaining to your research topic in llms
@MichaelSasser
Ай бұрын
You could copy articles that you’ve found truthful on the topic to your data so you know it’s pulling from trusting data, not the general web. Still including more than you personally know, just pre filtered for reliable sources
So what about Data Confidentiality and Privacy. Won't the content generated by this be used in Google's LLM and Big Data Repository? Is there an NDA from Google. I cannot imagine some important patent-related content already appearing in the responses of an LLM chat-Bot interaction.
Interesting ❤
It looks good:)
Amazing
Not in Australia yet, but this looks perfect.. I'll get away from notetab now LOL
Imagine this wil be perfect for Obsidian with all my notes 😮 fully private with lm studio

Could they not integrate it with Google Keep
so...not a replacement for oneNote or evernote, at least not yet, right?
Only available in the US
So is this functioning as Google's plug & play RAG?
Can we use one note notebook as source?
Does it work with text in the images?
When will it be available for global audience?
I like your subtle sound effects. Nice job on video editing. I hope Perplexity comes with something similar. As for Google, curious to see how long before this ends up in the graveyard. I no longer use anything new from Google, I have been burned too many times.
Is this product powered by the RAG model ?
Needs to be able to use ebooks from Kindle or Google Play Books
It didn’t change it as it’s only available in USA. Moving on to other products that do pretty much the same.
Before you jump to notebooklm (like me) - pls note it's only available for those in the US. Until then .. moving on.

With a VPN, even a free browser extension one, you can test this outside of the U.S.

This is just a tool for Google to capture content it otherwise wouldn't be able to. By uploading you are likely waving any rights and the documents can belong to Google to do what Google wants, train their model better for example.

the risk of hallucination is not because of the data that it gathers at inference from rag or web search
Available in the USA only. ☝
“Can not hallucinate” is wrong. All LLMs can. It is just limited as it is using only these sources as additional data and told as part of prompt to only use that data. It still can theoretically hallucinate.

By the way loading Chat GPT on speech mode "you are a secretary and business advisor wirh a lot of relevant experience to any spoken topics, please transcribe and take notes of what I am going to discuss. When asked for summaries, input and better ideas please summarise for me. I want someone to talk through my thoughts and help me organise them and improve them" Works amazingly. The interruptions can be a bit clunky socially, and it likes to summarise clearly as it goes which can be helpful. But overall, very helpful.
