- Memorial cards are rolled out to notebooklm
- The new feature works both in the paid and free versions
- Notebooklm is shaped to be one of our favorite learning tools
Hot on the heels of his announcement that Notebooklm’s audio overview is now available in Gemini, Google has revealed that a new feature, Mind Maps, will now be available as an option in NoteBooklm.
Memorial cards are good at helping you understand the big picture of a topic in an easy -to -understand visual way. They consist of a number of nodes that usually represent ideas, with lines representing connections between them.
The beautiful thing about the mind card is that they show you the connections between ideas in a way that helps make these connections more obvious.
Another string to its bow
Notebooklm is Google’s AI Research Helper. You feed IT articles, documents, even YouTube videos, and it produces a notebook that summarizes the main points of the subject and you can chat with it and ask questions that you would have a normal AI chatbot.
Its best feature is that you can also generate an audio overview of notebooklm, which is an AI-generated podcast between two AI hosts discussing the subject so you can listen to it and absorb the key points while doing something else at the same time. The sound overview may sound so natural that it is hard to believe that you are not listening to two people talking!
Now, thought cards have been added as another string to the NoteBooklms Bow to help you absorb information. They work in either the standard free version of the notebooklm or the paid for plus version.
Better understanding
To generate a thought card, simply open one of your notebooks in notebooklm or create a new one, and then click on the new Mind Map chip in the chat window (the central panel).
When you see your mind card (it appears in the studio panel, when generated), you can zoom in or out, expand and collapse branches and click on nodes to ask questions about specific topics.
Notebooklm is formed to be an important tool for students who have a lot of information to digest and does not necessarily read very quickly. With the help of AI’s power, you can get AI to do much of the leg work for you, so present you with the most important information bits, and thought cards are just another way for notebooklm to help you on your way to better understanding.
