DrWeb<p><strong>I added NotebookLM to my setup – here’s why I’m never going back – Android Police</strong></p><blockquote><p>By <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.
