Google NotebookLM is an AI-assisted research tool from Google that can fetch page content when users provide URLs as sources. Its fetcher performs targeted requests to retrieve text, metadata, and structural information needed for summarization, analysis, and note-building. This activity is user-initiated, not a general-purpose crawler, and it does not influence Google Search indexing. Crawl volume is minimal and tied directly to user actions within NotebookLM. Its purpose is to supply accurate page content to support AI-driven research and knowledge organization. It ignores the global user agent (*) rule. RobotSense.io verifies Google NotebookLM using Google’s official validation methods, ensuring only genuine Google NotebookLM traffic is identified.

This bot does not honor Crawl-Delay rule.
