About NotebookLM

Google says: 

NotebookLM gives you a personalized AI collaborator that helps you do your best thinking. After uploading your documents, NotebookLM becomes an instant expert in those sources so you can read, take notes, and collaborate with it to refine and organize your ideas.

After compiling your resources in a "notebook," NotebookLM can answer questions, suggest questions to build your understanding and grasp of the content, and even provide an AI-generated "audio overview," giving you more ways to digest the information and listen to it on your walk, ride or run. Just as with a Google search, be sure to confirm official sources and use your human expertise, prior to using any NotebookLM materials in work or personal life.

Accessing NotebookLM

NotebookLM is in "experimental" mode, but Workspace for Education accounts have access to it. Find this new generative AI tool and start experimenting with it by visiting NotebookLM, and sign in with your @wfu.edu account: notebooklm.google.com
