Sources
Bring in the material you are actually studying
Every notebook starts with sources. Upload a file, add a website by its address, paste text such as lecture notes, or describe your topic and let Discover search the web for sources you can add with one click. Then choose which sources each question or output should use.
- Upload PDFs and other documents
- Add any public webpage by URL
- Paste notes, excerpts or transcripts
- Discover new sources on the web from a topic
- Search and select the sources to include
Notebook Chat
Ask questions and see exactly where answers come from
Notebook Chat answers from the sources you have selected rather than from general knowledge. Every answer carries citations, and clicking one opens the cited passage so you can read it in context. Save useful answers to your notes, and set a notebook objective to steer everything the notebook creates.
- Answers grounded in your selected sources
- Citations open the cited passage
- Ask about one source or all of them
- Save answers straight to notes
- A notebook objective guides every output
Audio Overview
Listen to your sources as a conversation
Audio Overview writes a script from your notebook and performs it with distinct voices. A host guides the conversation and a learner asks the questions you would ask. In three-voice mode, a third voice keeps the discussion anchored to the sources. Pick from nine voices, tell it who the overview is for and what to focus on, and generate.
- Two or three voices with distinct roles
- Alloy, Ash, Coral, Echo, Fable, Nova, Onyx, Sage or Shimmer
- Set the audience, objective and length
- Swap voices without rewriting the script
Video Overview
Turn a notebook into a narrated video
Video Overview builds a slide deck from your sources, checks each slide against the material, records narration and renders a video with every slide timed to the voice. Use it to revise, to introduce a topic to a class or team, or to get the big picture before you dig into the detail.
- Slides checked against your sources
- Narration timed slide by slide
- Rendered as a video you can play or download

Good to know
Use it with confidence.
Notebook outputs are built from the sources in the notebook, so they are only as complete as those sources. Citations make it quick to check a claim against the original; do that for anything important. Some publishers block automatic reading of their pages: if a website will not load, open it and use Paste text instead. Larger outputs such as Audio and Video Overviews take a few minutes and may use credits.
Common questions
What is an AI notebook?
An AI notebook is a workspace built around sources you choose. Instead of answering from general knowledge, it answers from your documents, websites and notes, cites them, and turns them into study material such as quizzes, flashcards and audio overviews.
What sources can I add to a notebook?
You can upload files such as PDFs, add a webpage by URL, paste text, or use Discover to search the web for sources on a topic and add the ones you want.
Can I make quizzes and flashcards from a PDF?
Yes. Add the PDF to a notebook, open Create and choose Quiz or Flashcards. They are generated from that PDF and any other sources you select.
What is an Audio Overview?
An Audio Overview is a spoken conversation about your sources between two or three AI voices: a host, a learner and, optionally, a voice that keeps the discussion grounded in the material. You can choose the voices, the audience and the focus.
How is Artifacts Notebook different from NotebookLM?
If you have used NotebookLM, the idea will feel familiar: source-grounded chat, Audio and Video Overviews and study tools. Artifacts Notebook also includes interactive explainers, exam mode and paper comparison, and it sits inside the wider AI Artifacts workspace alongside Chat, Canvas, Projects and the creative studios.
Are notebook answers accurate?
Answers and outputs are grounded in your sources and cite them, so you can check each claim against the original passage. AI can still make mistakes, so verify anything important before you rely on it.
