Google has a vast history of launching experimental projects, only for them to fade away before ever getting a proper launch. Unlike many Google Labs experiments that never quite see the light of day, NotebookLM, Google's AI-powered note-taking app, is one of the few that did.

Ever since Google dropped its "experimental" status, the company has consistently focused on making it the ultimate productivity tool by regularly rolling out new features.I’ve been using it since the app was in closed beta and have had the pleasure of watching it grow in real time, getting better with each passing day. Over time, I’ve picked up these four productivity tricks, all thanks to NotebookLM.

Turning my notes into engaging podcasts

No matter how much I try to lie to myself, I'd always pick binge-watching a boring Netflix show that I'm not even interested in over cramming for an exam. That’s why I’m always on the lookout for ways to make studying a bit less tedious. Thankfully, NotebookLM offers a feature that helps with exactly that, and turns your notes into podcast-style audio summaries within seconds.

Studying feels less like work now

In these podcasts, two hosts discuss key points from your sources in a relaxed and lively manner. NotebookLM itself says that they aren’t a comprehensive look at the topic you’re trying to study, but rather a reflection of the sources you upload. While I initially hesitated to try this feature, thinking it’d just be two people discussing my boring geography course in an even more boring way, and I’d want to do nothing but sleep, listening to a single podcast changed my mind completely.

The voices in the podcast don’t sound AI-fied and are actually pretty natural. In fact, you’ll even notice the hosts occasionally stutter and take "breaks" every once in a while, which somehow makes it feel more real. They even throw in a couple of jokes, and while I wouldn’t call them funny, it’s still way better than reading through wall after wall of text.

The length of the podcasts depends on how long your individual sources are and the number of sources you provide. For instance, I had a notebook with 20 sources; the podcast was an hour long. You can create an Audio Overview by heading to NotebookLM’s homepage and creating a new notebook or opening an existing one. Once you’ve uploaded your sources, click the Generate button under Audio Overview.
