Google has done a monumental thing in note-taking that only they could accomplish. They substituted mind maps with NotebookLM, and your ordinary notes now come alive in a visual form. This is not an update — it’s a total game changer that makes learning as easy as scrolling through your feed.
Ditch dull lists and drab bullet points. Google arrives to transform how you jot down things and turn your words into compelling, relevant diagrams. Envision your brain as a visual map that illustrates how all the pieces connect. That’s what NotebookLM accomplishes — it divides your notes into manageable, easy-to-understand morsels that make sense even when you’re sick of studying the same.
