Possibility of No-Code Creation of Free AI Knowledge Base with basic chat interface using Google NotebookLM but with free tier limits

Last updated on 19 Mar 2026 Using Google’s NotebookLM, which has a free tier, you can create an AI knowledge base. Source material about the knowledge base in formats like Google Docs, pdfs or text should be uploaded to the notebook.  Then the AI should be able to perform natural language queries against that specific data, providing source-grounded responses with clickable citations that point directly back to the uploaded documents to ensure accuracy.  Unlike generic AI chatbots that "forget" information as a conversation grows long or require files to be re-uploaded for every new session, NotebookLM maintains Global Context Persistence —ensuring that all uploaded sources are immediately and permanently available to every chat session created within that notebook. Note that this process does not need any software development work and so is a 'no-code creation' process. The main free tier limits for NotebookLM are as follows: Notebooks: 100 Sources per notebook: 50 S...

Possibility of No-Code Creation of Free Bhagavad Gita AI Knowledge Base with basic chat interface using Google NotebookLM but with free tier limits

Last updated on 18 Mar 2026 A friend had asked me in the past about a Bhagavad Gita AI app. We also saw that one public (and well-known) Bhagavad Gita AI app is no longer working, which I suspected to be due to subscription/hosting costs for the AI. My recent post:  Possibility of No-Code Creation of Free AI Knowledge Base with basic chat interface using Google NotebookLM but with free tier limits  covers the topic of the same name in general. This post deals with the specific case of Bhagavad Gita AI knowledge base creation. Note: I am only sketching out the possibility now; I have not created a Bhagavad Gita NotebookLM as of yet. Once the Bhagavad Gita source material—including Sanskrit verses, transliterations, translations, and commentaries by a single author in English (to stay within the limits of the free tier for sources)—is uploaded as sources (in the form of Google Docs or PDFs) to a notebook in NotebookLM, the AI should be able to perform natural language queries a...
