I used NotebookLM to learn a new programming language, and it actually worked

A CS student taught themselves Swift using NotebookLM, Google’s AI that sticks to sources you feed it. They pulled in handpicked docs, YouTube transcripts, and visual mind maps—all dropped into a custom notebook. No generic guesses. No hallucinated trivia. Just clean, source-grounded answers on syntax and concepts.

Trend to watch: Developers are flipping tools like NotebookLM into tight, self-curated learning labs for leveling up on tech stacks.
