NotebookLM, Google’s AI note-taking app, can now summarize — and help you dig deeper into — YouTube videos. The new capability works by analyzing the text in a YouTube video’s transcript, including auto-generated ones.
Once you add a YouTube link to NotebookLM, it will use AI to provide a brief summary with key topics discussed in the transcript. You can then click on these topics to get more detailed information as well as ask questions. (If you’re struggling to come up with something to ask, NotebookLM will suggest some questions).
