Comments on NotebookLM in 2025
“You can discuss with many specific texts in the form of PDFS – you can upload high-quality sources and be more or less sure that it shares proper knowledge. The podcasts are hilarious. Hallucinates less than Chat GPT, and has better privacy setting” e-learning specialist, Poland, 2025
“I like NotebookLM for turning 50–120 pages into a high-level synthesis that jump-starts outlines and reliably saves me hours each week.” Jason Rajcok, Instructional Designer, USA, 2025
“Google Notebook LM is probably best known for creating podcasts based on texts such as articles or reports. You can now also create video overviews. I use this tool, among other things, to ask questions about (one or multiple) reports on (evaluation) documents. Or to create a list of frequently asked questions or a mind map of a self-written report. I then use the FAQ as an appendix to the report” Wilfred Rubens, Netherlands, 2025
“Basic Generative AI Tools” Donghwan, High School Teacher, South Korea, 2025
