Key NotebookLM Feature: Discover Sources 📚 AI Deep Research 🔍

Hi Friends, my name is Callum aka wanderloots. In today's video, I walk through NotebookLM's latest upgrade: Discover Sources. This new feature transforms NotebookLM into a deep research machine, saving you a ton of time and energy getting your notebook filled with useful sources📝💡

New ideas, surfacing insights, making connections, distilling complex information, there is no end to how AI can boost the notes you're already taking✨ The Discover Sources Feature takes this analysis to the next level by saving you time & energy researching new & old topics.

The Discover Sources feature automatically searches the web for you based on your prompt and curates hundreds of reviewed sources down to the 10 best options.

NotebookLM is a free & private AI tool that accepts up to 50 sources. Once you've discovered or uploaded sources, you can chat with them, prepare briefing docs/summaries, and even generate an Audio Overview where two AIs create a podcast about your uploaded sources & notes 🤯

Anyone can benefit from this tool, including: students, researchers, knowledge workers, corporate workers, teams, content creators... really, anyone looking to learn anything!

I hope you enjoy! ✨
