Meet Anjali, a computer science student and software engineering intern on Google’s NotebookLM team. Over the summer, she contributed to a novel AI-powered learning assistant designed to help users engage with their own sources of information.
“I worked on adding support for file formats like image-based PDFs,” Anjali shared in a Google LinkedIn post published this month, reflecting on the practical application of her work.
For Anjali, this experience has been especially meaningful. Having grown up using Google tools throughout her education, she now finds herself enhancing the very platforms that shaped her learning journey. Her motivation comes from a desire to harness the power of AI for the benefit of students and educators alike. With NotebookLM, Anjali is helping to develop technology that will transform how students interact with educational content, making learning more dynamic and accessible.
As Artificial Intelligence redefines the landscape of education, Anjali’s work is at the forefront of that change. She embodies the future of educational technology, contributing to tools that will shape the experiences of students worldwide. From PDF support to AI-driven learning assistants, her efforts are not just technical achievements — they’re paving the way for more inclusive and effective educational systems.
Anjali’s journey is an inspiring reminder that today’s students are not only benefiting from technology but are also the ones shaping its future.
