I am playing around with Google's NotebookLM AI tool. It's designed for researchers and notetaking for students. It says, "It allows users to upload documents, ask questions, generate summaries, and even listen to audio overviews of their sources. Essentially, it's designed to be a personalized AI assistant that can help with various tasks like summarizing complex documents, creating study guides, and generating briefing docs, all based on the user's uploaded content."
Fascinating tool. You point it to sources or provide information to the tool, and it will generate a summary of the data you provided. It can even discover sources for you based on your input. After that, you can ask it questions via a chat. It will answer you based on the information you provided it. Then you can have it generate a "podcast-like" audio file. Two "people" discuss the topic. The AI-generated voices banter back and forth. One is the host and one is the expert. They only use the information/sources that you provided. You can even add an option to allow you to interrupt the discussion and ask more questions. The "cohosts" will pivot and answer your question before resuming their discussion.
Truly amazing technology. I can't imagine being a student and having this tool at my disposal.
I tried it with my most recent blog posts. I fed it the text of my post as the only source.

There are a few little issues, but as the saying goes, this is the worst it will be. It evolves constantly.
Is anyone else using anything like this? If you have kids in school, ask them about it. Are they using anything like it?
