Yeah, NotebookLM definitely has its unfair advantage, since it’s the go-to product for the least hallucination. What’s funny is the technical implementation is pretty established, so the real magic isn’t effort on the model side but in how well it’s designed to fit into Google’s ecosystem. Really solid product.
I’d also love to learn more about the sources for the plots, some are quite different from what I originally expected.
Oh and would you mind if I summarize this piece and add it to the learning resources on vibecoding.builders? I’d of course give full credit and link back to your article.
Yes the discover sources really brings credibility and gives the product a moat difficult for other firms to compete with. I find sources from other tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Genspark or even Grok DeepSearch less compelling or clickable somehow.
Sometimes yours tools are great, sometimes they’re like stepping on the rake you left out on the lawn. The E in Wile E Coyote stands for enthusiasm, and also for embarrassment.
Great one!
Seems like a lot of these companies are trying to make the Amazon Prime bundle of AI.

Yes it seems to have gotten better with the hallucinations for sure.

Ok
Yep, the ability for it to reference the works uploaded is essential. It’s definitely my #1 tool.

I think the utility comes from being able to confine the sources. That gives you the ability for higher quality control.
That is a really good insight. We're able to use this tool and create our own lab environment that is compelling.
