- Google Notebooklm now generates cards and questionnaires directly from its loaded documents
- The study tools are complete with explanations and appointments.
- The new features expand Notebooklm of a passive summary tool to a more active learning partner
Google is interested in people using their AI notebook platform to learn in all kinds of ways. That now includes cards and questionnaires written by AI to accompany your other options to convert a text disaster into something you can actively learn.
Notebooklm began as an IA assistant for students, but since then it has expanded to a broader center to process information between documents, written notes and even YouTube videos in formats that could be more useful for learning. That means summaries, deadlines and even audio and video presentations.
The idea behind the new tools is a direct consideration that you must participate with material to learn it, not only trying to absorb it passively. It is assumed that the characteristics of the questionnaire, together with dynamic cards and new report formats, feel more like collaborating with someone than to read a textbook. I tried it with a mixture of PDF and transcripts in ancient Egypt, and with a few clicks, Notebooklm made it a personalized set of flash cards. Each was taken from the content that I loaded and included key concepts, vocabulary or dates. Turn the card and see not only the correct answer, but would get the option to ask for more explanation, complete with quotes that point to the exact line in the original source.
Attend
The questionnaires work similarly, offering multiple choice questions that extract from their content with varying degrees of difficulty. If you receive an incorrect question, the notebook questionnaire will tell you the correct answer and even guide it through why it was outside and how the concept fits the biggest image. I found myself by repeatedly clicking on “Explain”, not because I was failing the questions, but to see how AI discussed the explanations based on the information he carried.
Nor is it all of the unique size. You can adjust the cards and questionnaires to reflect the scope and complexity you want, from very basic definitions of the parts of a pyramid to more complex stories of the fall of the Middle Kingdom.
Education of AI
One of the smartest touches: after a questionnaire session, can generate a study guide or a new set of cards based on the questions that were lost. It is a feedback cycle that reflects the best parts of the tutoring, but without social pressure or the rate per hour.
But perhaps the biggest surprise is how natural everything feels. Notebooklm does not require a long configuration. The AI takes the structure, the issues and the relevant points automatically. Of course, as with the other notebook tools, it is as good as the material that goes up. I am not putting things about the ancient aliens, but if I were a student, I would make sure to comply with good reputation sources, not random blog posts or podcasts.
Flash questionnaire and card tools are being launched together with a new set of report generation updates. Notebooklm can now suggest custom outings depending on what you have charged. Share a draft of a novel, and you can recommend a criticism of the rhythm or dialogue. Put a policy summary, and could make a persuasive list of debate conversation points.
Compared to other AI tools with study characteristics such as Chatgpt study mode, Notebooklm that adheres to its sources makes it quite reliable. Everything that shows you is traceable to what you uploaded. That makes it particularly valuable for academic or professional material where precision is important. I do not say that you not only prefer to learn from reading the books yourself, but if you have a large battery of books and related articles, Ai Troizs and Flashcards could help the material to be more digestible.
