NotebookLM official in Italy: what it can do is a real revolution
Based on the Gemini 1.5 Pro technology, NotebookLM can summarize data, explain complex concepts and provide creative ideas, using only user-uploaded sources. Originally known as Project Tailwind, this service debuted in the United States in July 2023 and subsequently expanded to the entire American territory by December of the same year. Today, NotebookLM is available for free in Italy and is accessible to both private and corporate users via a account Google.
Users can upload documents from their Google Drive, PDF and text files from their device, paste copied content, or enter information via URL. NotebookLM uses the RAG technique (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), which allows you to retrieve data from a knowledge base provided by the user, integrating them in models di language for more precise and personalized results. In this regard, I will explain to you in this article what are language models.
Why it's revolutionary: Limited but powerful knowledge
This is certainly the most noteworthy aspect. Large language models have this flaw: they are huge and know the world, in the true sense of the word. One of the peculiarities of NotebookLM is that does not possess any pre-existing knowledge, based exclusively on the information provided by users. If a topic is not covered by the uploaded documents, the tool will report missing data. Furthermore, NotebookLM cannot access the Internet to find additional information, limited to user-uploaded content.
Each notebook supports up to 25 million words, with a maximum of 500.000 words per source and up to 50 sources per notebook. Users can create an unlimited number of notebooks, dividing them by topic. It should be remembered that NotebookLM is capable of also interpret images and graphs, providing detailed answers about them.
How to use NotebookLM
Using the Google tool is very simple. Once you have a Google account, simply log in Official site and create the first notebook. Now the data needed for the work will be loaded and that's it. However, one is available on the official blog guide to upload any type of file.
