Employer Workshop Series: Meet NotebookLM: Google’s AI Research Hub that Fixes Information Mess

  • Date: 05/20/2026 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM  

Meet NotebookLM:
Google’s AI Research Hub that Fixes Information Mess

May 20, 2026  |  11:00 AM to Noon

Gallup recently reported that half of all U.S. employers use AI in some way. Most are familiar with AI chatbots ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude, which are known primarily for their ability to assist in brainstorming and content creation. Another AI tool is now available to support workers: NotebookLM from Google, which quickly and securely synthesizes what your company already knows.

Join us for our next virtual workshop on Wednesday, May 20, that will provide an overview of this practical AI tool for workers. NotebookLM is a private AI research hub for your own documents (SOPs, reports, PDFs, emails, slides, even YouTube/audio), not just another general chatbot.


Workshop Highlights:

  • See how NotebookLM summarizes information from your sources, with clickable citations back the exact page or slide, so decision makers get real, auditable answers instead of “AI guesses.”
  • Learn how this tool can turn messy information into useful assets: from a pile of files to automatically create page briefs, FAQs, timelines, slide outlines, and even audio overviews busy executives can listen to on the go.
  • Review the practical uses of NotebookLM: a living SOP/onboarding assistant for your team; a board/leadership meeting prep hub that synthesizes decks, reports and notes; a proposal and competitive analysis workspace that drafts RFP responses with evidence from your own materials.
