"Pick a purpose. Start a new notebook for a work project or a learning goal. Examples: I created a notebook to organize materials for the new online bilingual MA program we're developing at the CUNY Newmark Grad School of Journalism where I work. I also set up a notebook to learn more about Gustav Mahler, a composer I revere. I have numerous others for work and personal projects."
"Find sources for your notebook. NotebookLM recently added a search panel to help you discover high-quality sources. You decide which, if any, of the suggested materials to add to your notebook. The "Fast Research" is quick and focused, unlike a generic Google search that returns hundreds of results, some of which have gamed the search engine system. Fast Research surfaces 10 or so documents related to your topic in less than 30 seconds."
Users can start notebooks for specific work projects or learning goals. A search panel discovers high-quality sources via Fast Research, returning about ten relevant documents in under 30 seconds, or Deep Research, which compiles many more sources more slowly. Users can upload files up to 200 MB and 500,000 words, including Google Docs, Slides, Sheets, PDFs, images, Microsoft Word files, YouTube links, audio, and video, with transcripts and website text extracted automatically. Free accounts allow up to 100 notebooks with 50 sources each and ten Deep Research queries per month; pro accounts (Google AI Pro, $20/month) support 500 notebooks with 300 sources each and twenty Deep Research queries per day.
