When you first upload a Google Doc to NotebookLM, the tool will automatically generate a summary along with key topics and questions to ask, helping you get a better understanding of the material at hand.

In its blog, Google mentions, “A key difference between NotebookLM and traditional AI chatbots is that NotebookLM lets you “ground” the language model in your notes and sources. Source-grounding effectively creates a personalized AI that’s versed in the information relevant to you.”
