Let’s explain to you how to have an AI trained with your own dataso that you can then ask questions related to them. For this we are going to use NotebookLMwhich is slowly becoming the artificial intelligence more useful and productive.
What we are going to do is explain to you in a very simple way the main function of this tool, which is to create a notebook and upload your own sources of knowledgeso that all the questions you ask are based on this information you have uploaded.
To process the information and generate the answers, the model will be used Gemini. It will maintain features such as understanding what you write and generating text, but the answers will be based solely on the sources you have added.
An AI specialized in what you tell it
The first thing you have to do is enter notebooklm.google.comand create a new notebook. NotebookLM is a tool that you can use for free, although with a limit of 50 free fonts. If you want your notebook to have more, then you will have to pay.
When you’re creating your first notebook, you’ll be able to upload your first font. You can upload fonts in several waysusing a website whose data you want to use, uploading files that can be PDFs, images, documents or audios, YouTube videos, Drive folders or copied text.
When you upload the first source, your notebook will be created. In it, at the top you can give it a specific name to differentiate it. You will have a tab of Sources where you can upload new elements as sources, and activate or deactivate the ones you want whenever you want.
If you enter the tab Chatthen you will go to a Gemini type chat. In it, you can ask him questions about whatever you want, and will respond to you with the data from the sources that you have uploaded.
If the answer to your question is not in the sourcesthen Gemini within your NotebookLM will respond clearly with a message. In this message he will tell you that the documents provided do not have mentions of what you have asked him.
You have a configuration button in the section Chatwhere you will be able to define both the role of AI and its objectives in conversations and the length of the responses it gives you. This way, you can adapt it to what you need.
You also have a tab Studiowhere you have different types of elements that you can create based on the sources or documents you have uploaded. So, if you are looking for more than textual answers, you can also create other elements such as audio summaries to listen to whenever you want, presentations or flashcards.
