Gemini Notebooknotebooklm.google ↗

multi-source notebooks, grounded Q&A with citations, summaries, audio overviews

the doc-qa archetype, multi-document workspaces with citations, generous free tier, no training on content by default

users who must avoid the Google ecosystem; very high daily query volumes on the free tier (50 chats/day)

free tier 100 notebooks, 50 sources/notebook, 50 chats/day, 3 audio overviews/day; rename transition in progress (some pages still say NotebookLM)
