This 60-minute, expert-led session provides a hands-on introduction to NotebookLM, helping you move beyond basic chat interfaces to generate practical, real-world outputs from your own data.
You’ll discover how NotebookLM differs from tools like Gemini by grounding its responses in the sources you provide. You’ll also learn how to combine external datasets with your own information to enrich analysis and uncover more useful insights.
Using our practical “listen, see, do” approach, you’ll hear concepts explained clearly, watch live on-screen demonstrations, and immediately apply what you’ve learned through interactive exercises. The session will show you how to create outputs that other AI tools often struggle to produce, with far less friction and less reliance on complex prompting.
By the end of the course, you’ll know how to use NotebookLM’s Studio feature to create audio overviews, slide decks, mind maps and infographics. You’ll leave able to turn complex data into shareable analysis, insights and action plans in easy-to-digest formats.
Our NotebookLM: Basic workshop is available as a private training session that can be delivered virtually or at a location of your choice in the UK.
