In The Club
Run a club or society? Here's how your tech can make it easier
Summarise meetings using NotebookLM
Google’s AI tool NotebookLM offers an effective way to lighten the administrative load of running a club. Think of it as a digital assistant that works exclusively with your club’s documents, records and notes. Unlike a general-purpose AI chatbot, it doesn’t rely on guesswork, web searches or random hallucinations – its answers are strictly based on the sources you provide. That means you can upload club-related materials, then ask
NotebookLM to use them as the basis for new documents, reports, emails and more. Or you can use it to search and analyse your own club’s archives. It can, for example, help you recap what was agreed at last year’s AGM, draft official emails and newsletters for members and even generate questions for your club’s annual quiz night. Here we explain how to use it to generate automatic minutes for your club meetings.
