Ep. 25: The Best AI Tool You’ve Never Heard Of

Let’s get curious about Google Notebook LM! I walk through what it is, how it works, what makes it different from ChatGPT, and how I’ve personally used it to create mind maps, slide decks, and one-sheets. We also talk about learning styles, hallucinations, citations, pricing, and why this tool feels especially aligned with how I believe AI should be used.
