I found a simple way to solve a common problem we all face.

Last week, I ran a workshop for a company about creating an AI assistant for proposals.

Some people couldn't join the live session but still wanted the insights.

This got me thinking about all the meetings we attend each day.

You probably use meeting transcription tools like Otter.ai, Read.ai, or the built-in features in Zoom or Google Meet.

These tools email you to download your meeting notes.

But let's be honest – how often do you actually go back and review them?

If you're like me, you mean to check them later but rarely find the time.

You get busy, and the thought of downloading files and scanning through pages of text feels like too much work.

That's where I found a game-changing AI tool that's free.

Google has a tool called Notebook LM that can transform how you use meeting transcripts.

With Notebook LM, you can create projects and upload your transcript files.

You can simply copy and paste the information from your email or pull it from Google Docs.

The magic happens when you convert these notes into audio format.

Your entire transcript becomes a podcast you can listen to instead of read.

Think about how this could change your workflow.

You can batch similar meetings into projects – like all sales calls with a specific client.

Or you might group meetings related to a particular project you're working on.

All those meeting notes can be summarized in minutes and turned into a podcast format.

This gives you two powerful options for reviewing information.

You can listen to the podcast version while driving or doing other tasks.

Or you can get the "cliff notes" version without reading through the entire transcript.

But there's a secondary benefit that makes this even more powerful.

Notebook LM creates a chat interface that lets you ask questions about the data.

You can query specific points from the meeting without searching through the text.

This approach saves me hours each week organizing and reviewing meeting notes.

I've even started organizing my notes into specific folders aligned with my goals.

For example, I have a dedicated folder for writing projects.

Another powerful feature is the ability to add links and sources from your meetings.

If there are key takeaways or additional resources mentioned during the call, you can integrate them directly.

Maybe someone shared a helpful article or mentioned a tool worth exploring.

You can add these links to provide context and make your notes more complete.
