GenAI: NotebookLM a Personal RAG Tool for Research & Productivity (Intermediate) Online

Note: This workshop will be held online via Zoom.

About the Workshop

This workshop focuses on using NoteBookLM, a personal Generative AI (GenAI) tool, that becomes an expert on the specific documents you provide (RAG).
Crucially, NoteBookLM's functionality is directly dependent on the documents you upload. It uses these documents as its training data.
Participants will engage in hands-on activities to explore GenAI tool usage and learn how to evaluate output for accuracy and potential biases, based on the uploaded documents.
The workshop will also promote informed and responsible use of cloud-based GenAI.

NotebookLM can also:

Summarize the contents of documents, presentations and/or videos
Summarize meeting notes including bullet list of action items and who they’re assigned to
Create study guides
Create a 10-minute two-person podcast summary
Help with customer service staff to find information in up to 50 documents
By default, it provides citations for key information so you can verify its accuracy.
Output summaries and other information in other languages.
