What is this service?
NotebookLM is a specialized AI tool that focuses exclusively on the content you upload. Unlike general-purpose chatbots, NotebookLM "grounds" its responses in your sources, providing citations linked to your sources so you can easily verify the information. It also offers features like audio and video overviews, study guides, and mind maps specific to the content.
Available through Middlebury’s existing Google Workspace for Education license, NotebookLM is available for use with your Middlebury account with enterprise-grade data protections.
