Gemini Notebook
Gemini Notebook (formerly known as NotebookLM) is an AI-powered research and workspace tool by Google that grounds artificial intelligence responses in your own uploaded documents, notes, and sources. It allows you to organize chats, run data analysis, and generate interactive learning materials.
For instructors, you can upload PDFs, Google Docs, slides, or URLs so the AI answers strictly using your materials and create audio overviews, study guides, flashcards, and quizzes with a single click.
