In this solo episode, Heather shares her enthusiasm for Google’s NotebookLM. If you've ever wished for a research assistant who knows your business inside and out - an assistant who can analyze guest reviews, SOPs, market data, and spit out insights without hallucinating - this one’s for you.

Heather walks through how NotebookLM works, why it’s different from ChatGPT and other popular AI tools, and how vacation rental hosts and managers can use it to streamline operations, improve guest experience, and uncover hidden business insights. This isn’t theory - it’s a practical, passionate review of a platform Heather uses every day.

Whether you're AI-curious or deep in the rabbit hole, you’ll find useful takeaways to apply to your short-term rental business today.

This episode is brought to you in part by the STRAIT Chat Community - an exclusive space for short-term rental pros who want deeper conversations, smarter systems, and more collaborative learning.
