I am constantly finding new uses for NotebookLM. Now that it's available in the Gemini app, it's been even more helpful when I need answers on-the-go. I recently discovered a use for it that has made my life as a mom of three significantly easier. Let me explain.
Like most people, I juggle a lot. And, like most people, I try to stay organized with digital support such as Alexa+ and Google calendar. Those are helpful beyond words, but when I'm looking for a specific pediatrician's note, the warranty for the dishwasher, my grandmother's apple cobbler recipe or my daughter's IEP report from last year, I need to be able to pull those up quickly.
Sure, Gemini can search my inbox and look through my Google Drive. It can even sift through my Photos and screenshots, but that's not always enough. So, I started experimenting with using NotebookLM as a personal “family wiki” — and honestly, it may be one of the most underrated AI tools for normal people right now.
