DrWeb<p><strong>I added NotebookLM to my setup – here’s why I’m never going back – Android Police</strong></p><blockquote><p>By&nbsp;<a href="https://www.androidpolice.com/author/parth-shah/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Parth Shah</a>, Published 5 days ago</p><p><strong>The one tool that changed everything</strong></p><p>For ages, I have been on a quest for the ultimate productivity setup, constantly tweaking, adding, and removing tools in an endless cycle of optimization.</p><p>Recently, something shifted. I integrated <a href="https://www.androidpolice.com/what-is-notebook-lm/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">NotebookLM</a> into my daily routine, and it’s been a game-changer.</p><p>This isn’t another app review. It’s a testament to why I’m never going back to my old ways. Let me show you how NotebookLM fundamentally transformed the way I work and think.</p><p>NotebookLM is an official offering from Google that offers smooth integration with Workspace apps, such as Docs and Slides.</p><p>When I tackle a big project, I open a dozen Google Docs documents for research notes, meeting transcripts, client feedback, content drafts, and a few Google Slides presentations for project outlines.</p><p>It used to get frustrating and time-consuming when I wanted to find a specific piece of information or cross-reference a detail from a meeting in one document with a point in a slide deck.</p><p>That’s where NotebookLM jumped in to combine all my Google Workspace files. Now, for any given project, the first thing I do is create a new notebook in NotebookLM and upload all the relevant Google Docs and Slides files.</p><p>Continue/Read Original Article Here: <em><a href="https://www.androidpolice.com/added-notebooklm-to-setup-never-going-back/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">I added NotebookLM to my setup – here’s why I’m never going back</a> Android Police</em></p></blockquote> <p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/2025/" target="_blank">#2025</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/ai/" target="_blank">#AI</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/android-police/" target="_blank">#AndroidPolice</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/artificial-intelligence/" target="_blank">#artificialIntelligence</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/google/" target="_blank">#Google</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/notebooklm/" target="_blank">#NotebookLM</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/science/" target="_blank">#Science</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/search/" target="_blank">#Search</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/search-setup/" target="_blank">#SearchSetup</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/technology/" target="_blank">#Technology</a></p>
