Matt Wolfe demos Google's free NotebookLM, which turns documents, URLs, and videos into mind maps, searchable chats, and AI-generated audio podcasts. Every answer traces back to the exact source.
Another Google tool that's totally free to use and that is NotebookLM. This is a tool where you can upload a bunch of documents or website URLs, even plug in videos and then ask it questions about those videos. It'll make mind maps about those videos. But the feature that I like the most is the ability to actually create a podcast. So recently I got a new camera and I wanted to learn how to use it. So I went and found a handful of resources, plugged those resources into Notebook lm. It created a mind map for us. And I can dive deeper and deeper into this cameras features, but it also generated this podcast.
Have you ever looked at a photograph, maybe one taken with, you know, an incredible camera like the Fujifilm X100VI? And the truth is it's probably not the camera. It's more about really knowing how to unlock all that potential packed inside it.
You simply click this add button and once it's in there, you get the mind map, you get the audio podcast, you can have chat conversations with all that information. We get a response with a lot of details. It'll actually pull the exact document it found it from and highlight the section that it actually got that information. And still blows my mind that they just let anyone use this for free.
