Snippets from the Episode

"NotebookLM doesn't just search for information like Google does. It actually generates answers from your specific documents. It knows what you're trying to say before you even finish typing." - Martin Holland
"You can put in your policies or SOPs and your team doesn't have to search for which one to follow. They can just ask, 'Hey, what step do I do after this?' and [NotebookLM] answers the question." - Khalil Benalioulhaj
"I looked a lot of things up out of books and marked them in yellow. If I could put the book in [NotebookLM] and just go, 'Hey, what was that main quote about receivables?' It's easy." - Martin Holland
"I don't know” is no longer an acceptable answer. [NotebookLM] takes four seconds to find the answer." - Martin Holland
