Zillow (ZG) is partnering with Google NotebookLM (GOOG) to make Zillow's home-buying guidance available in a featured notebook. NotebookLM is a personalized AI research and thinking tool designed to help users better connect with and understand complex information, Zillow said. Unlike general AI answers that can vary in accuracy, notebook users can ask questions and get responses grounded in Zillow's guidance, with direct citations to original articles on Zillow.com, the company added. "When navigating a milestone as significant as buying a home, trusted information is important. This featured notebook, curated by Zillow in NotebookLM, meets home buyers at the start of their journey with answers they can trust," said Steven Johnson, co-founder and editorial director of NotebookLM.
