How Gamcorp Uses AI in the Workplace: Notebook-LM
At Gamcorp, we're always looking for innovative ways to leverage AI to enhance our operations and boost productivity. This month, we're highlighting NotebookLM, an AI tool from Google that has become integral to our engineering team's workflow.
Gamcorp's Engineering Bible
We've harnessed NotebookLM's capabilities to create a centralised "Engineering Bible." This comprehensive repository houses all our relevant design standards, reports, and other crucial engineering documentation. By uploading these materials into NotebookLM, we've transformed it into a powerful search engine tailored specifically for our engineers.
Precision and Verification
The true power of our Engineering Bible lies in its precision and verifiability. When an engineer searches for specific information, NotebookLM doesn't simply provide a generic answer. It scours the uploaded source material and delivers results directly from the relevant standards, reports, or other documents.
Crucially, NotebookLM goes a step further by providing the precise reference or location within the source material where it found the answer. This allows our engineers to quickly verify the information and ensure its accuracy, saving valuable time and minimising errors.
Efficiency and Innovation
By streamlining access to critical information and providing verifiable answers, NotebookLM empowers our engineers to work more efficiently and focus on innovation. It eliminates the need for time-consuming manual searches through multiple documents, allowing our team to dedicate more time to creative problem-solving and helping our clients.
Beyond the Basics: More Ways We Use NotebookLM
Technical Leads maintain a "live" technical memoranda document, which is continuously updated with new methodologies, internal system updates, and product or industry updates. This document is linked to the "Engineering Bible," ensuring that the team uses the latest data in their assessments.
Critical errors discovered by QA reviewers are also uploaded to the technical memoranda by the Technical Leads. NotebookLM can then be used to filter and analyse these errors over a specific period, identifying common mistakes made by the team or individuals in a particular area. This information allows the management team to create tailored training materials, accelerating the growth and development of our team.
Additionally, the Audio Overview function converts text into podcast-style discussions, providing an engaging learning experience for our team, particularly those who prefer auditory learning.
AI-Driven Future
At Gamcorp, we believe that AI has the potential to transform the workplace, and we're committed to being at the forefront of this revolution. NotebookLM is just one example of how we're using AI to drive innovation and efficiency. We're excited to continue exploring new and innovative ways to leverage AI to shape the future of our company.
