Snippets from the Episode

  • "NotebookLM doesn't just search for information like Google does. It actually generates answers from your specific documents. It knows what you're trying to say before you even finish typing." - Martin Holland

  • "You can put in your policies or SOPs and your team doesn't have to search for which one to follow. They can just ask, 'Hey, what step do I do after this?' and [NotebookLM] answers the question." - Khalil Benalioulhaj

  • "I looked a lot of things up out of books and marked them in yellow. If I could put the book in [NotebookLM] and just go, 'Hey, what was that main quote about receivables?' It's easy." - Martin Holland

  • "I don't know” is no longer an acceptable answer. [NotebookLM] takes four seconds to find the answer." - Martin Holland
