The NotebookLM Essentials half-day course introduces learners to Google’s NotebookLM as a grounded, document-based AI assistant for understanding, summarizing, and transforming information. Unlike general AI chat tools, NotebookLM works only with the sources you provide, making it especially useful for learning, research, and professional knowledge work.
This class focuses on building correct mental models, safe habits, and awareness of everything NotebookLM can create. Learners will see all major features demonstrated and practice the most important ones, while additional configuration details and less frequently used options are covered through on-demand modules.
There are no technical prerequisites for this class.
Learners should be comfortable working with common document types such as PDFs, Word or Google Docs, slide decks, or web articles. No prior experience with generative AI or NotebookLM is required.
This class is designed for learners who are new to NotebookLM, including:
Professionals who work with reports, documentation, or reference materials
Educators, trainers, and instructional designers
Students and researchers
Knowledge workers in small and medium-sized organizations
Anyone who wants to use AI safely with their own documents
By the end of this class, you will be able to:
Understand how NotebookLM works and why it behaves differently from general AI tools
Create notebooks and add sources correctly
Ask effective questions and verify answers using citations
Understand all Studio output types and when to use them
Create core outputs such as summaries, reports, study guides, and quizzes
Save and reuse insights using notes
Understand feature limits and responsible-use considerations
Know which advanced capabilities are explored in the Mastery class
