Unlock the Power of Your Research with NotebookLM
As your business grows, so does the amount of information you need to manage. Whether you are researching a new product line or trying to repurpose your existing content, traditional AI tools can sometimes “hallucinate” or bring in irrelevant outside information. Google NotebookLM solves this by acting as a “closed-walled garden,” meaning it only uses the specific sources you provide to generate its answers.
From Disparate Sources to Cohesive Content
One of the most practical applications for small business owners is content creation. In this guide, we explore how you can take multiple separate videos or documents on a similar theme, such as data privacy, and feed them into NotebookLM. The AI then analyzes these sources and can instantly create a unified YouTube script, a detailed briefing document, or a comprehensive FAQ list.
Because the tool provides specific citations for every claim it makes, you can trace every piece of information back to its original source [04:13]. This is critical for businesses dealing with technical or legal information where accuracy is non-negotiable.
Innovative Ways to Digest Information
NotebookLM isn’t just for text; it offers unique ways to interact with your data. The “Deep Dive” conversation feature can generate a virtual podcast where two AI voices discuss your research in a conversational format [06:26]. Additionally, you can generate study guides, glossaries, and even timelines of events to help your team better understand complex projects. This tool is currently available for both personal Gmail and Google Workspace accounts, making it an accessible addition to your productivity suite [00:42].

So I wanted to show off something cool that I just did inside of notebook LM now if you don’t know what this is it’s a new product from Google it was one of their like Labs products and they made it available to the public and then because they wanted to sell more Gemini they basically called it an AI feature and they’ve made it available to Google workspace to give a bit more HOA around AI features coming into workspace you don’t need Gemini for this but it does happen to use use a large language model behind it to generate things so it’s using the Gemini technology in a roundabout way anyway you can use it in a Google workspace account which I mean usually you’ve got to wait forever to get access to stuff in workspace I’m very happy about that or you can obviously use it with a Gmail account as well now primarily it’s a research tool and so if you’re like a student or someone who’s got to gather a bunch of different sources and then make sense of them you can use it for that but what I’ve been using it for just this morning is for cre content and what I decided to do as I was working through our content triage process that I do with our creative team was we wanted to recreate a new video with a amalgamation of a number of different videos that we’ve done in the past I’ve done a number of different videos on data privacy features inside of Google workspace but I’ve never made like one big video kind of summarizing everything and I thought you know what why don’t I take all of the disparate sources all the disperate videos that have like kind of half answered the question and see if notebook can bring it into one comprehensive summary and then I can use that to develop the content now the key thing that notebook LM does is as opposed to other large language models that will hallucinate sometimes and make stuff up or they’ll bring in general knowledge or they’ll bring in sources from Wikipedia or the internet or whatever notebook LM will only bring in information from sources that you feed it so it’s kind of like a closed Walled Garden on information and you can query it you can use as you’ll see the bot experience to have a conversation with the data and have it make sense of the data but it’s only going to be using data that you feed it so if you need to do an academic paper obviously this would make lots of sense because you aren’t in the situation where it’s making things up itself and it’s going to give you citations on absolutely everything so I’ll show you what the process looks like for using it to create content and you’ll see it’s pretty impressive so I’m going to hit create new and it’s going to bring up this screen and I’m going to start adding sources now in this case I just added all of my YouTube sources one by one I had to paste each of the YouTube URLs and then one by one add each of them to my notebook and then eventually you end up with something that looks like this and you’ve got a bunch of sources here and then it gives you the opportunity to talk to your sources so you can see here I can add a note if I want to manually add a note but I chose to just ask the question I said hey just make me a YouTube video summary for this and usually I’d go into a lot more depth I’d say hey this is the format I want I want an intro I want this many bullets I want this call to action this is how I want the tone to be this is what our audience is but I just gave it the really simple option and what it’s done is it’s combined each one of my sources it’s made sense of them you can see here there’s obviously a summary here but it’s given me a full YouTube video what are Australian privacy principles is Google compliant key steps that you can make for your business G site Enterprise Advan option things that Google might see about your data and there we go we got a call to action outro music and visuals it’s made all this up just just from the prompts make me a YouTube video and then yeah there we go don’t forget to like And subscribe because of course everyone’s got to finish their video with that right so you’ve got all the information that it’s Amalgamated from these different video sources which are just videos that I went and grabbed for my channel I went to my channel I searched for the word privacy and I just grabbed like the first five videos that I thought were relevant and threw them in but the thing that I really love here is if you see these little numbers it actually gives cotation as to where it’s got that information from so it says right if you’re a business over $3 million in Revenue the privacy laws apply or if you’re in medical services reg regulated by ARA but it says here this is citation number five and that is pulling from the transcript of the YouTube video that I pasted in here so it’s not hallucinating it’s not making stuff up it’s actually pulling it from the sources and the information that you give it so that’s pretty cool apart from being able to chat to a chat plot and have it generate text which is what my use case was in this case you can have a briefing document generated and a briefing document is kind of like you know like an executive summary of all of the information so we’ve got that nicely laid out there which is pretty cool I can generate a study guide okay here we go so here’s a here’s a study guide it’s got a quick is so it’s going to ask oh here we go it’s got essay questions glossery of terms Google share drives forly team Drive lure collaborate on shared files and folders with enhanced security controls that’s pretty cool right okay what else have we got here and so frequently asked questions there we go Okay cool so it’s got It’s pulled out from that information some of the frequently asked questions of the content that was there and then timeline I don’t know what timeline does let’s see what happens if I go to timeline detailed timeline of cast and characters okay well I guess that’s trying to create a sequence of events which might be more appropriate for different styles of content but you can see here it’s tried to put time alongside things so what I’ve spoken about something in the past it it’s it’s given a time there it said you know specific video talks about the introduction of Gite Enterprise throughout all sources is the promotion of it genus Services well that you know that’s obvious cast of characters Peter Mor Keenan okay okay sounds like that must have been a customer question that I answered there old school it guys oh they’re a they’re a character in our cast so there we go that’s that’s pretty cool it’s given us given us no now now by far the most amazing thing of this app and this is the one that got quite a bit of attention when it was first released is you can generate what it calls a deep dive conversation and the Deep dive conversation is effectively it’s like a virtual podcast you’re listening to two generated characters have a ation about the content which is wild it’s honestly absolutely wild and so this is generating from the knowledge from all the information a digestible conversation in audio that you can just listen to now I’m not much of a listen to audio person because I find it takes a long time I’d rather skim bullet points but this is this is pretty darn impressive I don’t know how long it’s going to take to generate but hopefully it’s reasonably quick just wait our I’m not sure if you’re even going to be able to hear the audio from this so I’m going to let it do its thing in the background but this is an absolutely amazing feature great if you’re looking to work on content and you don’t want external sources to come in great if you’ve got a couple pieces of content here and you want them to be transformed and transposed but also have know citations back to the original content because it’s something that’s really important for this I’m talking about legal issues I’m talking about potential you know features in Google workspace that customers might ask us about so I want to get these exactly right I don’t want there to be room for you know interpretation or room for potentially getting things wrong and I don’t want my language model to hallucinate and just blatantly make stuff up so there you go that’s notebook LM it’s free you can head to notebook lm. goole.com and check it out if you liked this video we’ve got plenty more on the channel covering this topic and much much more
