Commissioner offers to use Notebook LM to help review planning documents
Summary
Commissioner Rama Schneider offered to use a Google Notebook LM workflow to ingest and compare planning PDFs and volunteered to test Williamstown documents to help fact-check and organize materials.
During Old/New Business, Rama Schneider described tools that can assist with reviewing planning materials, recommending Google’s "Notebook LM" for uploading multiple PDFs and comparing content. Schneider said the tool can bring together up to about 50 documents on a free account and offered to use it on Williamstown planning materials to help verify facts and synthesize documents for the commission.
Susan Lyons agreed this could be useful and commissioners discussed practical uses for document comparison and fact-checking. Schneider offered to do the initial work for the town if commissioners want to pursue it.
