When I first tried NotebookLM, Google’s experimental note-taking assistant powered by Gemini, I loved the idea but rarely used it. I’ve been out of school for a while and although I thought the idea was nice, I didn’t think it was completely for me. Sure, it could summarize my documents and highlight key takeaways, which I frequently use, but that wasn't enough to hook me. Frankly, other popular chatbots can do the same thing, so I moved along.
Fast-forward to now — Google just added flashcards and quiz capabilities, and suddenly this tool has real staying power.
