  Since the launch of Notebook Language Model ( NotebookLM ) by Google across 200 countries on June 6th, I have been dabbling in this Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) assisted note-taking browser-based application. Initially, I thought it was yet another glorified note-taking app, but I was pleasantly surprised by its enhanced capabilities, which may prove extremely useful, especially for academia, students, journalists, or knowledge workers in general. In this article, I'll explore the potential of NotebookLM in terms of 1. Productivity (to curate and retrieve), 2. Discovery (to integrate and synthesise), and 3. Collaboration (to share and cross-pollinate). Moreover, I'll share my experience in my personal and work-related use cases. In Diagram 1, you can create an individual Notebook of a specific theme. Each Notebook allows up to 50 sources of information in different formats, namely Google Drive , PDF , TXT , URL , and Copied Text. Each source can conta...

  The year 2023 stood out prominently to the public at large as we were amazed, amused, and even spooked by the uncanny resemblance of the cognitive ability of ChatGPT , to or even surpassed that of humans. ChatGPT is a kind of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI), using a specific type of Large Language Models (LLMs). To date, they have been updated to the more powerful versions of GPT-4 from OpenAI, Gemini Ultra from Google as well as lLama 2 from Meta and many others. This article is not to reiterate the prowess of GenAI, with reference to ChatGPT, in assisting us the mundane and repetitive tasks of summarising, rewriting, checking for grammatical errors, creating outlines for presentations and so much more. This handy tool should not be just a useful research assistant at our bidding. Instead, we, as academics, should view it as a valuable intellectual sparring partner in our cerebral pursuits, utilising tools such as the Socratic Method to enhance our critical thi...
