Oops — here’s the full email this time

Dec 03, 2025 4:31 pm

Hey everyone — quick apology.

I hit send on the last email… with no body.

That one’s on me.


Here’s the actual message I meant to send, in full:


Today I want to talk about something that I think is genuinely going to reshape the way we learn — and how fast we learn — and that’s a new tool called Notebook LLM.


I’ve been using it heavily over the past week, and it’s one of the first AI tools that understands something deeply human:


No two people learn the same way.


Some of us learn best by reading.

Some by watching.

Some by listening.

Some by breaking concepts apart visually.

Some by diagrams.

Some by examples.

Some by stories.


Notebook LLM basically says:


“Tell me your learning style — and I’ll reconstruct the information for you.”


And it actually does it.


You can drop in:


  • A dense document
  • A stack of articles
  • Meeting notes
  • A messy brain dump
  • A transcript
  • A whole research packet


And Notebook will synthesize it — in whatever format works for your brain.


Want an infographic? One click.

Want a slide deck? One click.

Want a spoken-word audio version? One click — and it sounds shockingly good.

Want an animated explainer video? One click.


(Side note: Here are two examples if you want to see this in action.)


And this clicked for me:





Notebook LLM is asynchronous learning… personalized.


Asynchronous communication freed us from needing everyone in the same room at the same time.


Notebook LLM frees us from expecting everyone to learn the same way at the same speed.


That’s enormous.


Because the biggest bottleneck in learning isn’t comprehension — it’s format friction.


If the information is handed to you in a way your brain doesn’t naturally absorb, the learning curve becomes a wall.


But when you put the information into your brain’s native language?


Learning accelerates.

Retention accelerates.

Execution accelerates.


I’m an audio/visual learner.

Give me a wall of text? I can do it — slowly.

Give me a diagram or an audio walkthrough while I’m walking the dogs? Instant. Clear. Retained.


Notebook lets you choose the cognitive format that matches your wiring.


And when you remove friction between the learner and the information, everything else unlocks.





This is what people are going to miss


Notebook LLM isn’t just a productivity tool.


It’s an empathy tool.


It understands that your brain doesn’t process the world like everyone else’s — and it adjusts to you.


This is the next era of AI:


Not “better answers.”

Not “faster outputs.”

But personalized cognition.


AI that learns how you learn.





Try this today


Pick something you’ve been meaning to learn:


  • A book
  • A topic
  • A whitepaper
  • A long email thread
  • A training module


Drop it into Notebook LLM and generate it in the format you naturally gravitate toward.


Just once.


You’ll immediately feel the difference between “learning”…

and learning in your own language.


And if you want help figuring out your learning style — or implementing this inside your company so your team doesn’t all have to learn the same way — send me a private Carbon Voice message at www.talktoari.com.


I’d love to hear what your cognitive format is… and help you set this up.


Make it an effective day, everybody.
