NotebookLM: Build & Automate ANYTHING (FREE!)

Notebook LM just got insane updates. You can now build videos, websites, quizzes, and even full training programs, all from your notes or a simple YouTube link. Google made this completely free, and it's better than most paid tools. I'm going to show you exactly how to automate your entire content workflow. Let's go. If you haven't tried this yet, you're missing out big time. Google just dropped some massive updates in 2025. And I'm not talking about small tweaks. I'm talking about features that can literally replace your entire content creation process. Let me show you what I mean. So, first thing, what even is Notebook LM? It's a free AI tool from Google. You can upload documents, PDFs, YouTube links, websites, whatever. And then the AI reads everything and helps you create stuff from it. But here's where it gets crazy. The new updates let you build actual content, not just summaries. I'm talking videos, quizzes, mind maps, slide decks, even landing pages. All automated, all free. Let me

break down what just changed. Google added something called Gemini 3. That's their newest AI model. It makes Notebook LM way smarter at understanding your files. You can now upload up to 300 sources in one notebook. That's insane. Before this, you were limited to like 50. Now you can dump your entire business knowledge base into one place. They also added deep research. This is a game changer. You tell Notebook LM what you want to research. It goes out to the web, finds verified sources, scans everything, and creates a full report for you. No more spending hours on Google, no more opening 50 tabs. The AI does it all. And it saves everything directly into your notebook with citations, so you know where each piece of info came from. But the coolest part

is something called Studio. This is where Notebook LM becomes a full content creation machine. You can generate videos, podcasts, quizzes, flashcards, infographics, and slide decks. You name it, all from your uploaded sources. Let me show you exactly how this works because once you see it, you'll understand why this is so powerful. Here's what I did. I went to notebookm. google. com. You just sign in with your Google account. Super simple. Then I created a new notebook. I wanted to show you how this could work for the AI profit boardroom. So, I uploaded a few things. I pasted in some YouTube URLs about AI automation. I uploaded a PDF with our community guidelines. I even connected my Google Drive so it could pull in some docs about our training programs. Once everything uploads, you can chat with the AI. I asked it what are the key ways AI automation helps businesses grow. And it gave me a perfect summary. But here's the thing. It only uses your uploaded sources. It doesn't make stuff up. Everything is grounded in what you gave it. That's huge for accuracy. Now

here's where it gets fun. I went to the studio panel and you'll see options like video overview, deep research, quiz, mindm, all that stuff. I clicked video overview first. A box pops up and you can customize what you want. I typed in create a tutorial video for beginners explaining how AI automation can save time and grow the AI profit boardroom community. Hit generate and boom, the AI starts creating a video, not just a script, an actual video with two AI voices having a conversation about the topic. It sounds like a podcast. Super natural, super engaging. You can customize the voices, too. Make them sound more energetic or professional, whatever fits your brand. And when it's done, you can export it as an MP4 file, ready to upload to YouTube or use as a promo. I use this exact process to create explainer videos for our members. Instead of spending hours recording and editing, I just feed Notebook LM the info and let it do the work. Saves me probably 10 hours a week. No joke. All right, so that's videos. All right, let me pause for a second because if you're watching this and thinking, okay, this is cool, but how do I actually use this for my business? Let me tell you. At the AI Profit Boardroom, we use Notebook LM to automate pretty much everything. content creation, training materials, research, even customer support docs, and you can do the same thing.

back to Notebook LM, but let me show you deep research because this one's wild. I clicked deep research in the studio panel. Then I typed in a topic. I said, find the latest AI automation workflows that help online communities grow faster. You get two options, fast mode or deep mode. Fast mode gives you a quick report in a few minutes. Deep mode takes longer but goes way deeper into the research. Picked fast mode because I wanted to see how quick this actually is. Three minutes later, I had a full report. It pulled info from like 20 different websites. Everything was organized into sections and every single claim had a citation so I could click and see exactly where the AI got that info. This is perfect for creating lead magnets, training materials, or even blog posts. You're not doing the research. The AI is, and it's faster and more thorough than you'd ever be manually. Now, let's talk about building

training content. This is where Notebook LM really shines for communities like the AI Profit Boardroom. Say you have a standard operating procedure or an SOP. Maybe it's a step-by-step guide for setting up an AI automation workflow. You upload that PDF to Notebook LM. Then you go to Studio and click quiz. Prompt box shows up. I typed create 20 quiz questions. Medium difficulty based on this SOP. Make them practical and test real understanding. Hit generate. 30 seconds later, I had a full quiz. Multiple choice questions. True or false, even some scenario-based questions. You can export this as a PDF or use it directly in your training program. Same thing with flashcards. I uploaded our AI tools guide. Then I asked Notebook LM to create flashc cards covering the key features of each tool. Boom. Done. Now our members can study and memorize the info way faster. This is perfect for onboarding new members or creating certification programs. You can also create mind maps. I uploaded some brainstorming notes about new features we want to add to the AI profit boardroom. Then I clicked my map in studio. The AI organized everything into a visual diagram. Made it way easier to see how all the ideas connected. Super helpful for planning and presentations and slide decks. Oh man, this one's huge. I uploaded a doc about AI automation case studies. Then I clicked slide deck in studio notebook LM. Turned it into a full PowerPoint style presentation with titles, bullet points, images, the whole thing. I didn't have to design anything. format anything. The AI handled it all. You can even build landing pages. This isn't in the studio panel. You do it through the chat I typed. Create a modern landing page for the AI profit boardroom. Focus on the benefits of AI automation. Make it convert visitors into members. Show the value of joining our community. Include a clear call to action. The AI wrote out the full HTML code. I copied it, pasted it into a preview tool, and boom, beautiful landing page, clean design, clear messaging, mobile friendly. I didn't write a single line of code. You could use this for quick promo pages, product launches, lead capture pages, whatever. And since it's based on your uploaded sources, the messaging is always on brand. Let me show you some advanced

stuff. So, you know how I mentioned you can upload up to 300 sources? Now, that's not just a cool number, that's actually super practical. Here's why. You can connect your Google Drive to Notebook LM. That means every time you add a new doc to a specific folder in Drive, Notebook LM automatically pulls it in. No manual uploading. Everything stays synced. set this up for our team. We have a shared drive folder for all our AI research. Every time someone adds a new article or guide, Notebook LM updates, so when I need to create content or answer a question, I already have all the latest info in one place. It's like having a personal research assistant that never sleeps. You can also create custom personas for the AI voices in your videos. Let's say you're making a video overview. You can tell the AI to make one voice sound like an expert and the other sound like a curious beginner or make them both sound energetic and hype. This makes the content feel way more natural and it's perfect for different audiences. If you're talking to business owners, you might want a more professional tone. If you're talking to creators, you might want something more casual and fun. Another thing, you can chain Notebook LM with other tools. This is where automation gets really powerful. Let's say you use a tool like N for workflows. You could set it up so that every time you add a source to Notebook LM, it automatically generates a quiz, exports it to a Google sheet, and sends it to your team on Slack. All automated, no manual work. This is the kind of stuff we teach inside the AI profit boardroom. How to connect these tools and build real systems that save you time. Let me

give you some real use cases because I know some of you are thinking, "Okay, Julian, this sounds great, but what would I actually use this for? " Here's what I've seen work. Content creators are using Notebook LM to turn their research into YouTube videos. You find a few articles on a trending topic, upload them to Notebook LM, generate a video overview, and boom, you've got a video ready to post. Takes like 10 minutes instead of 10 hours. Coaches and consultants are using it to create training materials. You upload your course notes, generate quizzes and flashcards, and now you've got a full certification program. Your students can study, test themselves, and actually retain the info. Way more effective than just watching videos. Agencies are using it for client reports. You upload data from a campaign, generate a report with insights and recommendations and send it to the client. Makes you look super professional and it's way faster than doing it manually. Community leaders like us at the AI Profit Boardroom are using it to onboard new members. You upload your welcome guide, generate a video walkthrough, create a quiz to make sure they understand everything, and boom, new members are up to speed way faster, and they're way more engaged because they're actually interacting with the content instead of just reading a boring PDF. Even researchers are using this. You can upload academic papers, generate summaries, create data tables, and organize everything for easy reference. If you're writing a thesis or working on a big project, this saves you so much time. I want to make sure you understand why this matters.
