I'm curious from people who use it regularly. What do you use it for? Aside from audio overviews, what does it do better for you compared to vanilla chat interfaces or docs integration?

I use it to turn an arxiv paper or hacker news comment section + interesting long form OP, plus maybe other sources, into a podcast that I can listen to on my commute.

I use it for asking questions about a specific board games. It is INVALUABLE for learning very complex games. Instead of hunting through a rulebook trying to find an obscure rule, I just ask it and it answers, citing where it finds it.

Video explainers, for me, are better than the audio overviews.

A friend uses it to create quizzes and flashcards when studying for uni

I like the mindmap tool

I am a post sales consultant. Meaning I’m the first deeply technical person that a client talks to after they sign the contract that pre-sales has worked on.

Pre-sales has already had a couple of meetings by the time it gets to me. I put the transcripts of their calls and the contract (statement of work) into Notebook LLM to ask the high level questions like the objectives, the challenges, priorities, risks they have already surfaced etc.

That feeds into my first meeting slide deck so the client can expand upon, disagree with etc to make sure everyone is on the same page.

After my set of discovery sessions, I put those transcripts into the notebook too.

I can then use Notebook LLM to give me a first draft of the management style assessment report. I never expose LLM writing to the client. I have a certain style of writing and I hate AI slop.

Yes this is corporate approved, we use GSuite for everything. I like the fact that everything that NotebookLM outputs has curations from the source material.
