Create Your Company Brain in NotebookLM
Insight from Why Try AI
Ever wish you could pour your entire company's knowledge into an AI and just... ask it questions?
That's basically what NotebookLM does.
It's Google's new research tool that lets you upload documents, chat with them, and organize insights all in one place - think of it as your company's second brain.
Getting started takes minutes: drag in your policies, reports, and meeting notes, then start asking questions.
Want a summary of last quarter's decisions? Need to track how a policy evolved?
NotebookLM can pull the answers from across multiple documents at once.
Some of my favorite NotebookLM features:
You can upload up to 200,000 words per document (think: policies, reports, meeting notes)
It allows you to chat with multiple documents at once (finally, no more tab switching!)
You’re able to keep notes right next to your sources (perfect for tracking decisions)
You can create instant drafts and summaries from your research
What makes it exceptionally powerful is its ability to understand context.
Ask it to find common themes across board meetings, or spot patterns in quarterly reports. It can even suggest questions about your documents you haven't thought to ask.
The future isn't about having all the answers - it's about knowing which AI to ask 🧠
