Most of what we consider not taking
and information management these days will disappear.
I'm talking organizing your notes, gone.
Formatting your notes, no more.
Searching your notes up and trying to find
that one thing you know you saved but can't locate,
that is going to be gone forever.
It's a new platform that Google just released
to the public called NotebookLM.
In this video, I'll show you what NotebookLM is,
how it works and how you can get started using
what I believe is the best software ever created for leveraging AI in creative work.
Anything Google created in this arena would already be interesting and worth investigating
because it's Google. They have some of our most valuable data, some of the most powerful AI
models such as the recently released Gemini, which notebook LM uses, and quite a track record for,
you know, completely reshaping our relationship to information. But there's another wrinkle.
One of the leaders and creators of the project is Stephen Johnson, multiple-time best-selling author,
and the person who introduced me to tools for thought, the general category that includes
second brains. Stephen joined a team at Google Labs to create a completely different kind of AI
that we have not seen before. And let me tell you, it's the closest one yet to the vision of a
true second brain I've been pursuing for years. Let's begin with a little getting started guy.
Start by visiting notebooklm.google.com and either creating an account or you can sign in with one of your existing
Gmail accounts. Sign up is limited to users in the US who are 18 years or older at the time that I'm filming this video.
Once you're inside, this is the interface you'll see. Everything in notebook LM is organized in
notebooks, each of which is like a single contained space for all the information
related to a specific project such as a piece of writing.
You can create a new notebook by clicking this plus button
right here and give it a title such as personal
regularization.
This was an online course that I took recently
that I'd like to organize and distill some of my takeaways.
This is the main interface that you'll be using
to interact with notebook LM.
And there's three main things to pay attention to.
The first one is the column on the left,
which is the source's column.
This is really the main feature that notebook LM has,
which is you can click that plus button and choose from different existing documents from which the AI will draw its knowledge.
And the three kinds of sources you can use are Google Drive documents stored in your own account.
You can upload PDFs and you can copy and paste text directly from other places such as a note-taking app.
For my example, I'll use my Google Drive. You can select up to 20 different documents in Drive.
and each one of those documents can have up to 200,000 words, which means you can interact with up to 4 million words of text.
That's a far larger context window than any other AI tool out there.
I'll go ahead and select my notes on that personal regularization class that I took recently and say insert.
And I want to show you what happens. So first of all, that source appears here in the left.
If I click the source, a couple things happen.
First of all, the AI creates kind of a almost like a summary or an abstract of this source
and these are some of the key topics.
And then if I want to actually see the full contents of the source, I can just scroll
down here.
