The Advantage of Grounded Output
By connecting NotebookLM, Gemini’s output becomes 'grounded' and includes citations. This means the AI only generates responses based on the facts in your notes, significantly reducing the risk of AI hallucinations.
Custom Gems for Subject Matter Experts
You can build a 'Custom Gem' specialized in a specific research field by setting a specific notebook as a permanent reference source. This streamlines your workflow as you won't need to re-upload the same sources repeatedly.
