Cases From a Notebook LM Developer
Steven Johnson, a member of the team that developed Notebook LM, discusses the many ways it can be used in a podcast with The Vergecast.
Notebook LM was found helpful in:
Organizing Dungeons & Dragons gatherings, stories, and characters. This allowed gathering times to run efficiently, helping the players stay organized in the capabilities of their characters and ask questions to play the game to its fullest extent.
Used to organize potential novel ideas, both good and bad, to keep thoughts organized. Notebook LM also provided insight into how to utilize these ideas to create storylines, offer feedback on excerpts, and compare them with other ideas previously submitted.
