NotebookLM (Google)

#10

Think you actually have to read those PDFs? NotebookLM does it for you. You upload the files, it creates an audio podcast with two voices discussing them. It's studying for lazy people who want to feel intellectual. And it works.

Is it easy to use?

Embarrassingly easy. Google stripped away the fluff, leaving only the substance. A 10 out of 10.

How long to learn?

Zero. Drag files and press play. Boomer-proof for those who miss the smell of printed paper.

How efficient is it?

Transforms hours of desperate, lonely reading into 10 minutes of audio chat. It won’t teach you discipline, but it saves your evening. A 9.5 out of 10.

Is it worth it?

t’s free. We’re probably training the next Skynet with our notes, but hey, at least college is over. (Value: 10/10).

Can I use it Commercially?

It’s Google. The result is yours, the data… well, they need it. Avoid industrial secrets.

In a Nutshell (Verdict)

The best product Google has birthed in years. The only one that gives you back time instead of stealing it. Score: 8.9/10.

Who is it for?

For those who need to study but would rather stare into the void or listen to the radio.

  • Students: to review an entire exam while pretending to clean their room.

  • Researchers: to find connections between 100 papers without losing their sanity.

  • Corporate Survivors: to pretend they read that 80-page report during the Monday meeting, nodding wisely.

Too lazy to read your sources? Get your work explained by two fake (and very good) speakers, while you look out the window thinking about how clever you are.
