Contact the NotebookLM reference team

Fast Context

This is an independent reference site. The team here cannot access your account or contact Google on your behalf. For product support, the help desk page maps the right channel for your issue. For editorial matters — corrections, media inquiries, content suggestions — this page is the right place.

The editorial team behind this reference is small and email-driven. There is no phone desk, no live chat widget, and no ticket queue. Messages sent to the address below are read by a human within one business day and replied to within 48 to 72 hours. During busy periods — typically when a major product announcement prompts a wave of correction submissions — that window extends to five business days.

What to send and how

The team receives four types of message regularly: correction submissions, content suggestions, media inquiries, and general questions about the site. Each gets routed differently, so the subject line matters. A subject like "Correction: pricing page" or "Media inquiry: upcoming piece on AI research tools" gets to the right person without delay.

For corrections, include the URL of the specific page, a description of what is wrong, and a link to a primary source. That source should be Google's own documentation, a product changelog, a public announcement, or something verifiable in the product itself. Corrections without a source link take longer because the team has to verify the claim independently. Verified corrections are published within five business days and carry a revision note on the page.

For content suggestions — a topic you think belongs on the site or an angle a current page is missing — a brief description of the gap and why it matters to readers is enough. The editorial team considers every suggestion, but cannot commit to publishing all of them.

Media and research inquiries

Journalists, researchers, and podcast producers working on pieces about AI research tools, productivity software, or the independent web occasionally reach out for background context or to request a quote. The team is willing to speak on background for published pieces. Include a brief description of the piece, the outlet, a publication timeline, and a specific question or request. Inquiries without a publication timeline are lower priority.

Academic researchers who want to cite this reference in published work are welcome to contact the team for clarification on sourcing and methodology. The about page covers the editorial review cycle in detail.

What this team cannot do

A few things arrive regularly that fall outside this team's scope. The team cannot access, restore, or troubleshoot individual accounts — that requires Google's own support channels, which the help desk page maps by tier. The team cannot pass feedback to Google's product team on behalf of readers. The team does not manage affiliate, advertising, or link-exchange relationships and will not respond to those requests. For consumer AI guidance from an authoritative source, the consumer guidance from the FTC is worth bookmarking alongside this site.

Inquiry type Response channel Expected response window
Factual correction with source Email to editorial address 2–3 business days
Factual correction without source Email to editorial address 3–5 business days (verification needed)
Media or press inquiry Email with outlet + deadline 1–5 business days depending on timeline
Content suggestion Email to editorial address 5 business days
Product support (account issues) See help desk page — not this team N/A

Corrections policy in brief

When a correction is verified, the affected page is updated and a brief revision note is added at the bottom of the article — noting the date and the nature of the change. The original incorrect text is not preserved. The revision note is. This policy exists so that readers who bookmarked the page before a correction can see what changed.

The team does not publish corrections publicly before they are verified. If you send a correction and do not hear back within five business days, the most likely reason is that verification is still in progress, not that the message was missed.

Contact questions

The questions the team receives most often before someone sends an email.

Can you help me fix a problem with my account?

No — this is an independent reference site with no access to Google's systems. For product support, the help desk page maps the right channel for each issue type, including how Workspace customers escalate cases through the Admin console.

How long does it take to get a reply?

The editorial team aims to reply within 48 to 72 hours on business days. Corrections with a clear primary source tend to be processed faster. Media inquiries during active news cycles may take up to five business days. There is no automated acknowledgement — a reply from the team means a human has read and assessed the message.

What should I include in a correction?

Three things: the URL of the page you are correcting, a description of the specific error, and a link to a primary source that supports the correct version. The source should be Google's own documentation, a verifiable product changelog, or reproducible behaviour in the tool. Corrections without a source take longer to verify and publish.

Do you accept guest posts or paid placements?

No. All content is produced and reviewed by the in-house editorial team. The site does not publish sponsored articles, guest posts, or paid links. If you have information that should update an existing page, send it as a correction with a source, and the team will assess it on editorial merit.

Other pages you might need

If you arrived here to report a factual error, the about page describes the editorial standards and review cycle that govern how corrections get processed. The editorial team page introduces the people who maintain this reference and their areas of focus. For any issue with your actual notebook or account, start with the help desk, which covers the most common problems and the support paths available at each tier.

Readers who want to understand the scope of this reference before reaching out often look at the features overview, the data and privacy page, and the pricing breakdown. The how-to-use guide is the most comprehensive starting point for anyone new to the tool and frequently answers questions that would otherwise prompt an email.
