NotebookLM Turns Your Documents Into Podcasts You Can Listen To

Google's NotebookLM takes documents you upload, research papers, textbook chapters, meeting notes, and converts them into podcast-style audio summaries. Two AI-generated hosts discuss the material in a natural, conversational tone. The result sounds remarkably like a real podcast episode about your specific content.

How People Use It

Students upload course materials and listen to AI-generated study podcasts while commuting. Professionals upload meeting notes and absorb summaries while exercising. The core value: transforming reading tasks into listening tasks, turning dead time into productive time.

Pricing and Capacity

Google AI Pro at $19.99/month provides 500 notebooks, 300 sources per notebook, and 500 daily chat queries. Google also increased cloud storage to 10 TB for Pro subscribers. A higher tier, Google AI Ultra at $249.99/month, offers greater limits and access to experimental features.
